Qt 5 Core Compatibility APIs
The Qt 5 Core Compat module contains the Qt 5 Core APIs that were removed in Qt 6. The module facilitates the transition to Qt 6.
Using the Module
Using a Qt module's C++ API requires linking against the module library, either directly or through other dependencies. Several build tools have dedicated support for this, including CMake and qmake.
Building with CMake
Use the find_package()
command to locate the needed module component in the Qt6
package:
find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core5Compat)
target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Qt6::Core5Compat)
For more details, see the Build with CMake overview.
Building with qmake
To configure the module for building with qmake, add the module as a value of the QT
variable in the project's .pro file:
QT += core5compat
