Ok, I'm still being stubborn. Got around to reinstalling some of the tooling and I'll see whether I can build Qt this time.

I did it. Built Qt 6.8.1. It only took forever.

Only to now find out the situation with rust bindings for Qt is... confusing.

I'm seeing abandoned crates, stuff that won't work with Qt 6, and cxx-qt.

And the getting start guide (getting started!) for cxxqt requires unsafe.

Why was I trying to do this again?

Peter Vágner reshared this.

@modulux Looking at your patience while exploring a way to make accessible multiplatform apps, perhaps @TauriApps might be worth looking at. I haven't yet tried it but according to the description it is looking like a much lighter platform comparable to #electron. It is reported to use platform native webviews where possible.

I could give it a look but I really really really dislike web for things that would be better native. Something like a listview has so much better affordances in a native application than on the web. Still, I suppose I could try it. thanks for the suggestion.
