Add support for building Qt5 modules.
This commit adds basic support for building Qt5 using the Qt5 support documented at https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git as requested in issue #16 (closed) (and a dependency for #15 (closed)).
Architecturally within kdesrc-build, Qt5 is handled as a special type of module-set, in the same way that KDE project modules are special-cased using 'kde-projects'. For Qt5, we use 'qt-projects', and reuse the existing use-modules and ignore-modules options.
The first difference is that {use,ignore}-modules applies to Qt's git
submodules. We pass the combination of those to Qt's init-repository
script as a module-subset. Currently the user will need to enter at
least a use-modules declaration for other reasons, so we would want to
setup a sample qt5 configuration to include something appropriate.
Qt5 support also involves a dedicated source code updater (based on the
basic Git support already present) and a dedicated build system. The
source code updater handles the Git update for the qt5 "supermodule"
containing init-repository
and then calls init-repository
to
complete the rest of the process.
Unfortunately the existing async IPC code doesn't play well with this but the worst that happens is that kdesrc-build will have 2 updates running at once for a time (kdesrc-build will think all of Qt is updated once the supermodule is updated).
The build system is actually fairly standard compared to the other changes.
There's a lot that's still missing here, including:
- documentation,
- real support for Git submodules (an open feature request for a long time),
- the per-distro list of Qt build dependencies not handled by kdesrc-build, and
- support for things like Qt's
qt5_tool
.
But, it's successfully built for me with Qt 5.12. :)
