IDA 9.2 migrated to Qt6.8

[blue-devil]

So Hex-Rays people migrated IDA Pro v9.2's Qt version from 5.15 to Qt6.8.

When I have changed Qt5 strings to Qt6 and make some tweaks; finally I can built the plugin for Linux x86_64 environment. And it works!

But I cannot managed to build the plugin for Windows x86_64 and macOS x86_64 yet.

For Linux: ida_palette64.so.tar.gz

That's great! Would you mind uploading your patch somewhere or opening it as PR?

I have requested PR on ifred and ida-cmake repos today! Please review when you are available

I finally build ifred for Windows x64 Tested on Win11 ida_palette64.dll.tar.gz To achieve this I have downloaded Qt6.8.3 sources and built them. As a side note online installer does not work for me

And I need to add windows.h to plugins.h header file.
