All-
Some software I'm experimenting with needs Qt WebEngineWidgets,
https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtwebengine/qtwebengine-platform-notes.html
That's not part of OI's Qt6 build. That's fine, it looks like it should
be built (and if relevant, packaged) separately.
I've never built a Qt extension, though, and this one specifically says
it can't be built with GNU C/C++, it requires Clang.
I'm not asking anyone to build and package this, but I'm wondering if
anyone has any suggestions for building *any* Qt(6) extension with Clang?
I'm pretty familiar with gcc, but I have next to no experience with Clang.
It looks like OI's qtcreator package uses g++ but also requires Clang?
Would that be the best option for an example, or is there something
better?
Thanks,
Tim
