I understand, but aside from qmake, I don't know of any build system that allows for building both host and target in the same build. That means whatever we use in Qt 6, we'll a separate build for host tools when cross- compiling. I don't see a problem in requiring the same version in the host and the target being built. But if this is not possible, then we'll need to have an extra step when preparing for cross-builds that bootstraps the host tools. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
