QGC Daily: Moved to Qt version 6.6.1 - Status
How you can help:
- Try out a daily build and report issues you find making sure to label the Issue with the "Qt6" label.
- Recommendation is to try your scenarios in SITL first before using QGC Daily on a real vehicle flight
- Join the discussion on the QGC discord channel for questions. Don't clutter GitHub Issues with questions.
- If you can help with QGC development ask on QGC discord channel what remaining work you could help out with. Simplest thing is to find a FIXME-QT6 marker (see below) and fix it. Or find a known issue and fix it.
Current status:
- Windows, Linux, Mac and Android builds are available from the normal Daily Build links on qgrouncontrol.com
- You are likely to run into quirkiness/bugs in the UI. It is going to take some time to find all the missing changes to the Qml UI code in QGC.
- The required changes to Qml although mostly mechanical in nature are not 100% discoverable through just code inspection. It's going to take running all the parts of the ui and verifying it works correctly to find the remaining needed changes.
- The C++ code should be very close to 100% updated. Those issues show up at compile time as opposed to run time.
- The largest changes were to the Map plugin which download tiles. So there may still be problems to wring out there.
- The majority of the top level UI with respect to Vehicle Setup and flight of PX4 and ArduPilot vehicles has been tested to verify the basics are working correctly.
- Plan View has had less focus and is likely to be more flaky than the rest of QGC.
Known Issues:
- Linux
- You must manually install
sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0yourself for the Appimage to boot. The AppImage generation script needs to be updated to fix this.
- You must manually install
- Android
- Joystick, support is not working
- Video is currently disabled in all OS types. Video support is still a WIP.
- Unsure where custom-example stands. Likely needs testing/updates.
- The code is also peppered with FIXME-QT6 comments which marks parts which still need work but at this point don't prevent QGC working at high level.
Building from master:
- Docs are not yet updated. That will come in the future.
- Qt version you need is 6.6.1
- CI builds are still using qmake for build. So that is known to be in a working state. Transition to make for CI will start soonish.
- Here is a screen shot of the modules needed from Mac OSX. You should be able to figure what you need in your OS from here:
I have ported Video stream to Qt6. First success under Ubuntu 22.04, Gstreamer 1.20, Wayland. More work needed. Next will be X11, Windows and Android. WIP.
Has there been a change how the unit tests can be run? If I add --unittest the app starts normally.
Looking forward the map plugin run. Qt6.6.1 so much change, this problem "qt.network.ssl: No functional TLS backend was found" copy "stl" Qt ../plugins/stl into project plugins then can be work

Can you explain with more detail what we have to do? I don't quite understand. Are there docs about it somewhere?

Xcb, X11, Xlib, Wayland
Map plugin not work (Ubuntu 22.04 Qt 6.6.1 X11)
I'm a rookie, but I know it's really difficult to adapt to so much.

I try install openssl1.1.1 in to Ubuntu 22.04 but failed. Hope to fix Qt 6.6. x in the next version How to build Qt 5.15 Community with OpenSSL 3
My assumption was that Qt6 would come with OpenSSL 3 but does it still not?
My assumption was that Qt6 would come with OpenSSL 3 but does it still not?
I also tried build the openssl 3 source code in the Qt6.6.1 tools. The map is still blank .
I've run on Ubuntu 22 and the map worked fine. I haven't seen map problems on any OS. Are you using a standard daily build from CI or are you building yourself?
