Building QT6.4.1 for Windows

Extract QT sources:

cd /d/dev/repos
tar -xf ../distrib/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.1.tar.xz

Configure QT as follows:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64

set MY_DRIVE=D:

%MY_DRIVE%

cd %MY_DRIVE%\dev\build\qt
   
set "CMAKE_ROOT=%MY_DRIVE%\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin"
set "NINJA_ROOT=%MY_DRIVE%\dev\tools\ninja-win"
set "PERL_ROOT=%MY_DRIVE%\dev\tools\Strawberry\perl\bin"
       
set PATH=%CMAKE_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%NINJA_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%PERL_ROOT%;%PATH%

Translation of standard buttons text on Android in QT6

Found the following code in qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0\qtbase\src\plugins\platforms\android\qandroidplatformtheme.cpp:

QString QAndroidPlatformTheme::standardButtonText(int button) const
{
    switch (button) {
    case QPlatformDialogHelper::Yes:
        return QCoreApplication::translate("QAndroidPlatformTheme", "Yes");
    case QPlatformDialogHelper::YesToAll:
        return QCoreApplication::translate("QAndroidPlatformTheme", "Yes to All");
    case QPlatformDialogHelper::No:
        return QCoreApplication::translate("QAndroidPlatformTheme", "No");
    case QPlatformDialogHelper::NoToAll:
        return QCoreApplication::translate("QAndroidPlatformTheme", "No to All");
    }
    return QPlatformTheme::standardButtonText(button);
}

Key knowledge about forwarding references in C++

The compiler deduces U as std::string& or as std::string depending on value category of the argument:

template <class U>
void f(U&& s)
{
    static_assert(std::is_same_v<U, const std::string&>);

    std::cout << std::forward<U>(s) << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
    const std::string& s = "abc";

    f(s);

    return 0;
}

QDebug can’t be used from a destructor of a static object

We can’t do this in QT:

class Global
{
public:

    ~Global()
    {
        qDebug() << "Global destructor.";
    }
};

Global g;

Building QT6.4 on Windows for Android with OpenSSL and clang 12

My mistake was that while building QT6.4 on Windows for Android I tried to set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR as an environment variable that doesn’t take an effect. Now I set it as an argument:

C:\dev\build\qta
  
set "CMAKE_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin"
