Update public documentation on how to build Qt from source

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      We should update the official docs on how to build Qt from source, specifically the pages at

      https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-dev/build-sources.html
      https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/build-sources.html

      Currently, we have docs on how to build Qt with CMake at the following locations:
      https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/cmake/README.md
      https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git ( counterpart Qt5 https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git)
      https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6-build-system

      We should update the official docs (that are found at https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdoc.git/tree/doc/src/getting-started/installation.qdoc ) to mention Qt 6, and update the steps appropriately.

      In a recent CMake meeting, we decided we should recommend usage of the `configure` and `qt-configure-module` scripts as the official way to build Qt. So we shouldn't mention using the qt-cmake-private script or the cmake executable directly.
