fatal error: QStringRef: No such file or directory

kuntumalla

Hi all,
I'm developing an application using Qt 6.2.4 compiled and build by myself.
Now I need to:
#include <QStringRef>
but I get the error in the title of post:
QStringRef: No such file or directory

I have installed qt in windows. What do you think is the problem?

QStringRef is removed in Qt 6. You can write your code to use the Qt 6 classes from the start (preferred) or using the compatibility module.

Thanks You!

Mr. Chris,

I have used the compatibility module it was worked.

Don't use the compatibility module on new code, use QStringView instead

What I did is I installed the Qt5 as I wasn't able to get away with the error
