Hello, at the moment, I ported qtbase from Qt6 and I contributed patches to the friends at Qt codereview. Hopefully, many of these patches have been accepted and they should be available into the next version 6.9, because I don't think that they will be backported to 6.8.x. There are still few things to fix, but at the moment the current qtcore was enough for me, because I needed these native tools for CYGWIN. Actually, these tools are needed for building my Qt6 packages for i686/x86_64/aarch64-w64-mingw32 cross compilers. I would like to make available these packages soon into my repository, for people who need them.
I hope this will be helpful for all. Sincerely, Carlo Bramini.
