    Description

      Hello,

      the authors of https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git are spending a lot of effort on how to build Qt. After that, the readers are spending a lot of effort on how to build Qt.

      Would it not be nicer if we just had a bootstrap.[bat|sh] script like Boost, that provides a decent default installation of Qt when called without parameters, including downloading all dependencies and so on? Would it not make more sense to spend effort on creating a script for automation of building, rather than documentation on building?
