how to use sqlcipher in QT6 on linux ?

[carpenter 0]

I am using arch linux and QT6.7,

how can I use sqlcipher with qt?

it seems that I need compile a sqlcipher driver plugin ? how difficult to do it ! just don't know where to start.

anyone has the experience ?

Hi,

You might want to check the sqlcipher-qt5 project. They have Qt 6 branches. That might be a starting point.

yes, I find a qt6 plugin https://github.com/manfredipist/qsqlcipher-qt6, but can't compile it, many errors occur, I am learning, life is not easy

Neither source code compiles for me:

chrisw@newton:~/workspace/qsqlcipher-qt6/build$ make
cd qsqlcipher/ && ( test -e Makefile || /home/chrisw/Qt/6.7.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake -o Makefile /home/chrisw/workspace/qsqlcipher-qt6/qsqlcipher/qsqlcipher.pro ) && make -f Makefile 
/home/chrisw/workspace/qsqlcipher-qt6/qsqlcipher/.qmake.conf:1: Cannot find feature qt_build_config
/home/chrisw/workspace/qsqlcipher-qt6/qsqlcipher/.qmake.conf:1: Cannot find feature qt_build_config
Info: creating stash file /home/chrisw/workspace/qsqlcipher-qt6/build/qsqlcipher/.qmake.stash
Project ERROR: Could not find feature posix_fallocate.

Indeed, the qt_build_config.prf file is absent in my 6.7.0 and 6.7.2 installs. This may be deliberate:
Porting Qt Plugins and Additional Libraries
Neither set of sources includes CMake equivalents of the qmake method. At this point I do not have a handy CMake solution.
