thanks for the help dsc_ , finally have the libraries building now.

had to dig through the qt make targets in order to fix the problem. It was some weird generated file problem.

good to hear TheCharlatan

TheCharlatan: was it something regarding xcb-util by any chance ? :P

no

part of the problem was that it messed up the paths of all those mkspecs/config files that qmake needs.

lovely.

just rebased and saw that there are a bunch of extra plugins that need to be supported now. uff. Anyway, at least it is building qt 5.15 now and picking up the libraries.

with "it" I mean the depends - no binaries yet obviously.
