 K900 | I also still have the Qt5 cross PR | 05:43:54 |
| K900 | But that's a can of worms I'd much prefer to not open | 05:44:03 |
| K900 | Possibly ever | 05:44:06 |
 outfoxxed | I totally missed that existing, I was going to try to see if i could apply the same things there | 05:44:14 |
| outfoxxed | but I care a lot more about qt6 | 05:44:18 |
| K900 | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/267311 | 05:44:42 |
| K900 | And no you can't | 05:44:45 |
| K900 | Because it's all qmake | 05:44:49 |

| outfoxxed | oh god | 05:44:54 |
| K900 | Yeup | 05:44:56 |
| outfoxxed | oh god | 05:44:58 |
| outfoxxed | I am not a fan of qmake | 05:45:10 |
| K900 | Yeup | 05:45:19 |
| K900 | And now you know why I've been stalling on that | 05:45:20 |
| K900 | I don't think anyone is | 05:45:25 |
| K900 | And that includes the people that wrote it | 05:45:30 |
| outfoxxed | I assume it predated cmake being good enough to use for qt | 05:45:42 |
| K900 | Fun fact btw: our Qt6 qmake is violently busted and no one has complained yet so uhhh | 05:45:44 |
| K900 | Ecosystem progress? | 05:45:47 |
| outfoxxed | yeah I doubt anyone uses it | 05:45:54 |
| outfoxxed | i didnt test that at all in my cross pr | 05:45:59 |
| K900 | Exactly | 05:46:00 |
| outfoxxed | you can tell that by how its mentioned nowhere in the getting started etc docs | 05:46:24 |
| outfoxxed | iirc | 05:46:25 |
| K900 | Oh yeah qmake is from like early qt4 days | 05:46:36 |
| outfoxxed | btw one issue with the propagated inputs i have yet to see if native fixes | 05:47:14 |
| outfoxxed | is that cmake will fall back to host binaries if something is missing from the cross set | 05:47:31 |
| outfoxxed | instead of failing or considering a package not found | 05:47:38 |
| outfoxxed | and it will try to link against host libraries | 05:47:45 |
