[Qgis-user] Test builds for Linux with Qt 6?

[Tobias Schula]

Hi all,

I wanted to try out the new CMYK capabilities of QGIS 3.40 as laid out here: 
> https://oslandia.com/en/2024/10/02/nouveau-dans-qgis-3-40-le-support-cmjn/

I wanted to try it with real data, as I'm about to send off a map for printing. 
For that particular project, it doesn't matter, as the printer will convert 
RGB to CMYK by themselves. The introduced fuzziness of thin lines and small 
text by the automatic conversion are acceptable, as these are field maps that 
will be covered with a waterproof, slightly grainy foil ("Mipofolie", great 
product!).

However, I only saw a test build for Windows in this thread: 
> https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/
283#issuecomment-2545776059

Are there also Qt 6 test builds available for Linux? Otherwise I will try to 
build it according to the instructions here: 
> https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Will a build with vcpkg use the version of Qt on my computer (6.8), or will it 
pull a different version? I have never used vcpkg before, so how it works is 
new for me.

Regards
Toby
