The build process of sqlitebrowser is looking for hexedit and sqcintilla libs. When not found, the needed functions are build and linked staticaly to make sqlitebrowser work. When qscintilla-qt6 is already installed at compile time, then sqlitebrowser works too. But if qscintilla-qt6 is removed afterwards (pacman allows remove because there is no dependency) then sqlitebrowser fails.

Since there is at least a package for 'qscintilla-qt6' I think the better way is to set 'qscintilla-qt6' as dependency like I mentioned before. This way the libs are build seperately and are linked dynamic, resulting in smaller and reusable packages. And of course pacman knows that there is a dependency ...

I've updated this package and now the qt6 version is the default, I've opted for not incrementing the pkgver, those who want the qt6 version must reinstall the package.

Since qt6 is the new standard, I would change this version to qt6. The current PKGBUILD will not go away. Therefore it would be possible to provide the "old" qt5 version if someone really needs it.

I can still build the qt5 version no problem, I wonder if we should make a separate package for the qt5 version and update this one for qt6

-DQT_MAJOR=Qt6

Seems to be building

@fow0ryl

I used your PKGBUILD as is and it fails because upstream doesnt have a QT6 target

Was support removed?

CMake Error: Unknown argument -QT_MAJOR=Qt6
CMake Error: Run 'cmake --help' for all supported options.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

Seems somewhat outdated, since there is no qt6 support ...

I have done a quick build, but not tested whole functionality

@sorcix done, thanks

Looks like this needs git in makedepends. It fails when trying to build in a container with only base and base-devel installed.

@rosenberg, thanks, I changed the description
