A handful of our users have already requested information regarding the Qt 5.15.2 build, that is shipped with IDA 8.4.
The Qt sources used by IDA are:
- based on Qt 5.15.2,
- to which the KDE Qt5 patch collection has been added,
- plus a few custom patches/fixes
Rebuilding Qt from source
In order to obtain compatible libs, the simplest way forward is to
- download the full archive – it contains the original 5.15.2 source + KDE patches + Hex-Rays patches
- go to the
build/directory - type
python3 build.py -h
Note: on Windows, that command should be issued from a Visual Studio 2019 command prompt.
