The qt/qt5 super-module repository, which orchestrates cloning and building the Qt framework's submodule repositories (now used to build Qt 6). It provides the configure script and CMake-based build workflow for assembling Qt from source.

Use cases

  • build the Qt framework from source
  • build only qtdeclarative and its dependencies
  • compile Qt with debug or release configuration
  • build Qt documentation from source
  • set up a developer build of Qt with tests enabled

When to choose

  • you need to build Qt itself from git sources
  • you want a custom Qt build with specific modules or configure options
  • you are contributing to Qt development

When to avoid

  • you just want to use Qt in your application - install prebuilt binaries via the Qt installer or package manager instead
  • you need a lightweight GUI toolkit with minimal dependencies
