Please note:
This is the master branch of QGIS which may not be able to compile because of upstream problems or rapid changes in dependencies.
The package qwtpolar does not exist anymore and was replaced by a package with a different name. There is a package from the official repositories called 'qwt' now which serves as replacement for both qwtpolar and qwt-qt6. Can these be removed from the list of dependencies?
It seems like changing 'qwtpolar' to 'qwt' and removing 'qwt-qt6' in the depends=( section of the PKGBUILD could be a simple solution.
draco, qt6-multimedia, qt6-svg, qtkeychain-qt6 seems to be missing (or having qt5 version) from depends
As for fiddling with icons and stuff. It would be great to be able to have both qgis and qgis-git installed at the same time, and be able to tell them apart.
I'm messing about with a version of qgis-git in https://codeberg.org/kmpm/aur-qgis-git if you want to have a look at some work in progress :)
I have pushed a fairly big update where I fixed the build and removed non-standard flags. This means QGIS Server and the QtQuick things are not included anymore. I think this package should not have its own opinions about what to build, but stay close to upstream defaults.
If someone has opinions about all the fiddling with icons and mime types, I'd appreciate input.
Cheers! I pushed a new "4.99" PKGBUILD that should use Qt6. This compiled fine here but I could imagine dependencies missing in the file. If errors occur I would be highly appreciative of help.
QGIS git master has now switched to QT6 as a dependency. That can be confirmed here, from the INSTALL file on the master branch:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL.md
The #1 build dependency is "Qt >= 6.6.0"
having issues building with boost 1.89: /usr/bin/ld: warning: libboost_serialization.so.1.88.0, needed by /usr/lib/libSFCGAL.so.2, not found
not sure if there is a workaround. trying to figure it out, will update if found
Yes, with QGIS 4.0 in October.
This package will keep tracking standard git master and that is currently 3.42 where Qt5 is still the standard.
As I said, feel welcome to make a Qt6 fork :)
@qs9rx right now it is official, QGIS 4.0 will be Qt6-only: https://blog.qgis.org/2025/04/17/qgis-is-moving-to-qt6-and-launching-qgis-4-0/
