Just run 'cmake --build . --parallel' Once everything is built, you must run 'cmake --install .' Qt will be installed into '/my/inst/path' To configure and build other Qt modules, you can use the following convenience script: /my/inst/path/bin/qt-configure-module If reconfiguration fails for some reason, try removing 'CMakeCache.txt' from the build directory Alternatively, you can add the --fresh flag to your CMake flags. -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! CMake Error at /home/sg/LLT/tmp/test5/qt6/qtbase/cmake/QtProcessConfigureArgs.cmake:993 (message): CMake exited with code 1.So the problem is following error:
CMake Error at qtbase/cmake/QtPublicTargetHelpers.cmake:260 (set_property): Attempt to promote imported target "Threads::Threads" to global scope (by setting IMPORTED_GLOBAL) which is not built in this directory.

It configures without errors on the current dev branch. -
S SiGa has marked this topic as solved on

Same problem here Ubuntu 24.10 cmake 3.30.2. And SiGa your answer is not satisfying. Because Qt6.5.3 is the last open source version of the Qt 6.5 LTS version. So it would be in the public interest that this problem should be sovled.
-
There is no such thing like a 'Open Source LTS' version.
-
Christian Ehrlicher... I mean the Qt 6.5 is an LTS version so the last version which you can download without a license (open source) is 6.5.3. You will need a license for e.g. Qt 6.5.7.

I mean the Qt 6.5 is an LTS version so
Again: LTS is for paying customers - there is no such thing like a LTS open source version. 6.5.3 open source is as good as 6.6.x or 6.7.x - there is no difference in any terms of support for open source users. So there is no reason to stay on 6.5.3 at all.

why are you so keen on LTS versions if you don't even use one for your Ubuntu (which is 24.04) ? :))
