This repository contains instructions and patches for building Qt v5 from source. The motivation is to provide a Qt installation from which the PyQt5-Qt5 Python wheels can be generated. Historically a Qt installation was obtained by using the online installer, however the later versions of Qt v5 were only available as source packages. In particular binaries for running Qt v5 on Apple silicon were never provided.
Note
At the moment building for Windows is not supported.
To build Qt v5 simply clone this repository, obtain a copy of the Qt v5 source
tarball, unpack it and follow the instructions in the platform-specific
README file.
The Qt v5 source tarball can be obtained from the Qt Source Archives.
