Building QT6.7 on MacOS Sonoma
I installed MacOS Sonoma on HyperV, installed XCode and used the following commands to check compiler and SDK versions:
admin@son ~ % xcode-select -print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
admin@son ~ % xcrun -sdk macosx -find clang
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
admin@son ~ % clang --version
Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin23.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
admin@son ~ % xcrun -sdk macosx --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX14.4.sdk
Configuring QT Creator with QT 6.6.2
I built QT 6.6.2, installed QT Creator and updated "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\QtProject\qtcreator\android\sdk_definitions.json" file as follows:
...
"specific_qt_versions": [
{
"versions": ["default"],
"sdk_essential_packages": ["build-tools;34.0.0", "ndk;26.2.11394342"]
},
{
"versions": ["6.4"],
"sdk_essential_packages": ["build-tools;31.0.0", "ndk;23.1.7779620"]
},
{
"versions": ["6.3", "6.2", "5.15.[9-20]"],
"sdk_essential_packages": ["build-tools;31.0.0", "ndk;22.1.7171670"]
},
{
"versions": ["5.15.[0-8]", "5.14.[0-2]", "5.13.2", "6.0", "6.1"],
"sdk_essential_packages": ["build-tools;31.0.0", "ndk;21.3.6528147"]
},
{
"versions": ["5.12.[0-5]", "5.13.[0-1]"],
"sdk_essential_packages": ["build-tools;28.0.2", "ndk;19.2.5345600"]
}
]

Building QT 6.6.2 for Windows and Android
I installed MS Visual Studio, Android Studio and the following tools:
cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64
nasm-2.15.05
ninja-win
Python35
Strawberry
VulkanSDK
x86_64-12.2.0-release-win32-seh-rt_v10-rev0
and built QT for Windows with the following commands:
(more…)Unification of Win32 and UWP
Looks like QT6 does not support UWP:
During this year’s Microsoft Build conference Microsoft announced the
unification of Win32 and UWP for their IoT offering. In general, it
looks like Microsoft is stepping away from their strict stance about the
usage of UWP technology and the Windows Store. Getting a classic Windows
application into the Windows Store is much easier nowadays and will be
even simpler in the future. Microsoft’s new direction in their IoT
offering will bring more “classic Windows development” into the IoT
world and there will be no need for a dedicated UWP port.
Compiling a single C++ source file in QT Creator
My QT Creator builds an Android app with the following command:
"D:\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build D:/dev/repos/tradeclient/src/build-TradeClient-Android_Qt_6_5_2_arm64_v8a_debug_Clang_arm64_v8a-Debug --target all
I simply started Windows Command Prompt and was able to run the following commands:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\qtcreator-10.0.2\bin\jom
cd D:\dev\repos\tradeclient\src\build-TradeClient-Android_Qt_6_5_2_arm64_v8a_debug_Clang_arm64_v8a-Debug
"D:\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build . --target BotFactory.cpp.o
"D:\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build . --target ExchangeModel.cpp.o > my.txt 2>&1
"D:\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build . --target Bots/ShortBot.cpp.o > my2.txt 2>&1
Building QT6.5.2 for X11 on Ubuntu 22.04
In addition to the packages installed while building QT6.4 I installed the following packages required for X11:
sudo apt install libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev \
libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxi-dev libxrender-dev libxcb1-dev \
libxcb-cursor-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-image0-dev \
libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-sync-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev \
libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-util-dev \
libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev
And configured QT with dynamic linking:
export MY_INSTALL_PATH=/home/def/libs/QT6.5d
export QT_SRC_PATH=/home/def/repos/qt-everywhere-src-6.5.2
${QT_SRC_PATH}/configure -prefix $MY_INSTALL_PATH -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 -debug-and-release -force-debug-info -opensource -confirm-license \

-skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebview -skip qtquick3dphysics -skip qtspeech -skip qtlocation \
-skip qthttpserver
Building QT6.4 for Windows with Vulkan support
Installed Vulkan SDK and built QT6.4.2 for windows with the following script:
set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
set MY_DRIVE=D:
%MY_DRIVE%
mkdir \dev\build\qt
cd \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 "PYTHON_ROOT=%MY_DRIVE%\dev\tools\Python35"
set VULKAN_SDK=%MY_DRIVE%/dev/tools/VulkanSDK/1.3.239.0
Black screen on starting QT Android app
I noticed this about five years ago and hoped that it had passed away, but a few days ago a user reported the following:
