Building QT6.4 for iOS
I built QT6.4. for MacOS first and then configured QT6.4 release build for iOS as follows:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
cd ~/build/qt
export MY_QT_SRC_DIR=~/repos/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0
export MY_HOST_PATH=~/libs/QT6.4/MacOs
export MY_INSTALL_PATH=~/libs/QT6.4/iOs
export MY_MODE=release
${MY_QT_SRC_DIR}/configure -prefix $MY_INSTALL_PATH -qt-host-path $MY_HOST_PATH \
-platform macx-ios-clang -c++std c++20 -opensource -confirm-license \
-static -static-runtime -$MY_MODE -force-debug-info \
-no-openssl -securetransport -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 \

-skip qthttpserver
Building my app with QT6.4 on MacOs
I built QT6.4 and downloaded and installed QT Creator 8.0.1 and copied it to my MacOs machine:
scp qt-creator-opensource-mac-x86_64-8.0.1.dmg admin@192.168.0.112:/Users/admin/Downloads
QT Creator started successfully because I made .config folder writable while running my app with QT6.2. I added QT versions and kits:
Building QT6.4 for MacOS – separate Debug and Release
I continued my experimentation in same SSH session where I built QT6.4 for MacOS with Ninja generator with the same QT sources location:
scp /mnt/d/dev.distrib/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0.tar.xz admin@192.168.0.112:/Users/admin/repos
tar xf qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0.tar.xz
cd ~/build/qt
export MY_QT_SRC_DIR=~/repos/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0
QT did not built with -debug-and-release option so I decided to build debug and release version separately with the following configurations:
Building QT6.4 for MacOS with Ninja generator
In the same SSH session where I built QT6.4 for MacOS with Unix Makefiles generator I installed ninja:
brew upgrade

Building QT6.4 for MacOS with Unix Makefiles generator
On the same machine where I Built QT 6.2.2 for MacOS I opened SSH session and set the locale:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
checked the locale has been set correctly:
locale
it printed the following:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
Building QT6.4 on Ubuntu 22.04
I installed required packages:
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install libx11-dev
sudo apt install ninja-build
sudo apt install openssl libssl-dev
sudo apt install libmd4c-dev libmd4c-html0-dev
sudo apt install pkg-config
sudo apt install mesa-utils libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev
sudo apt install libglew-dev libglfw3-dev libglm-dev
sudo apt install libao-dev libmpg123-dev
Building QT6.4 with qttranslation module for Windows
I was able to successfully build QT6.4 for Windows with skipped qttranslation and qttools modules. But if I do not skip them and configure QT as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
set "CMAKE_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\cmake-3.24.0-rc4-windows-x86_64\bin"
set "NINJA_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\ninja-win"
set "PERL_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\Strawberry\perl\bin"
set PATH=%CMAKE_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%NINJA_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%PERL_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\dev\PFiles\Python35;%PATH%

Building QT6.4 with OpenSSL for Windows – iteration #1
I build it with similar commands as I used before for Building QT 6.3.1 with OpenSSL for Windows. The only difference was that I added -static-runtime option and skipped qtquick3dphysics and qtspeech modules:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
set "CMAKE_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\cmake-3.24.0-rc4-windows-x86_64\bin"
set "NINJA_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\ninja-win"
set "PERL_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\Strawberry\perl\bin"
set PATH=%CMAKE_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%NINJA_ROOT%;%PATH%

rem Check if the tools are in PATH

Using std::shared_ptr in QML
QT is developed by an alien civilization that hate humans. They can’t make std::shared_ptr work in QML since 2014:
