[QGIS-Developer] Building from source using Qt6

[Paul Burns]

Ok I'll revert back to Qt5. Is there a preferred Qt5 version?

Is there a design document, or anything that describes/summarises the structure of the source code, which functionality is where etc.

Basically no. It's a wip which is still a considerable time off.
