CMake Error at qtwebengine/cmake/QtGnSbom.cmake:59 (message):

Hi,

How did you install Qt 6.10 ?
When did this error happen ?
What were you doing ?
On which OS ?

Hi,

I compiled downloading the source from https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/6.10/6.10.0/single/
The error happened after compilation when installing the libraries and binaries. After ninja -j16 while running ninja install
I am trying to build Qt 6.10 from the source on Rocky Linux 8.10 for x86_64.

Try without multi threading.

Do you want me compile the entire Qt6.10 without multi threading?
How will that help SBOM generation. The error says some issue with .git initialisation which is unrelated. Can you please elaborate bit more.

SGaist

Oh wait, I misread something.

You are building from the archive and not from a git clone. That's likely the reason of the error and maybe a bug in the build system for Qt 6.10 since indeed there's no reason to have a .git folder and thus the error message.

Is there a way to skip sbom generation from cmake options with -D<options>?

SGaist

I think it's -sbom=no when calling configure.

I face the same issue. Did you create an Qt Bug?
I skipped the SBOM generation with -DQT_GENERATE_SBOM=OFF
