Patch from P. De Visschere
Citing:
I also must exclude the QMacPasteboardMimeGraphics class in
GuiApplication.cpp since QMacPasteboard is not available anymore with qt6.
and add an #include <QStandardPaths> in support/Package.cpp (I suppose
this will pose no problem for qt5 but have not checked it, it's only
needed with USE_MACOSX_PACKAGING)
Now it is possible to set this font directly instead of relying on
metrics() side effects. Do that to avoid crashes due to bad
interactions.
This implements the new scheme that was mentionned in 5a58ca65.
Fixes bug #12204.
This code was previously in InsetCollapsible for no good reason.
Move it to a new function InsetText::setOuterFont, which can now be
called for other purposes.
Part of investigation of bug #12204.
The font is already set to the buffer font when called from
TextMetrics::redoParagraph and RowPainter::paintInset, because
inheritFont() is false.
Part of investigation of bug #12204.
There is still no clear pattern of how distributions will install Qt6.
The old scheme of adding a -qtN suffix is not followed by OpenSuse,
and qmake and the ancillary programs are installed with 6 as a suffix.
This commit allows compiling LyX with Qt6 when using autotools.
For a successful compilation the following 2 conditions must be met.
1) The Qt6 qmake has to come first in PATH, so that the command
"qmake -v | grep -o 'Qt version .'" returns "Qt version 6".
2) The --enable-qt6 switch has to be passed to the configure command.
If --enable-qt6 is used but Qt6 is not found, Qt5 is tried as a fallback.
If also Qt5 is not found, configuring for Qt4 is attempted.
If --enable-qt6 is not used, then things go as usual. This means that Qt5
is tried first and then Qt4, unless --disable-qt5 is used, in which case
Qt4 is directly attempted. This means that existing scripts should
continue working unmodified.
LyX should compile with Qt6 on windows and linux, and possibly also on
mac, but I could not test that. However, it is not guaranteed that it
works as it should. In particular I am not sure that I got right the
conversion from QRegExp to QRegularExpression. For sure, the syntax
highlighting seems to not work right. Someone in the know should take
a look at that. I am able to load documents and compile them but some
thourough testing is needed. However, when compiling for Qt5 or Qt4,
I tried to make sure that the functionality is preserved.
