Vokoscreen-NG 4.3.0 compiles and runs flawlessly on Ubuntu Jammy (Qt6.2), but it asks for Qt6.3 or more, and complains about not having Qt6.6 (which is an obvious mistake) #338

I can compile Vokoscreen-NG on Ubuntu jammy, Qt6.2, perfectly, if I modify vokoscreenNG.pro file and set to check if Qt is more than or equals 6.2.

Now, this code is incorrect, because it checks for Qt version, if it's more than 6.3, but the error message points to Qt6.6 or newer, which obviously don't match.

This means that I can package it on deb package for Jammy/Mint 21.3, which is my intention.

You might change the .pro file:

equals(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 6):!lessThan(QT_MINOR_VERSION, 2) {
   # there is nothing to do
} else {
    message("Cannot use Qt $${QT_VERSION}")

    # Print error and exit .pro file
    error( "Need minimum Qt 6.2" )
}

Qt 6.6 or Qt 6.7 is required for it to work properly.
Qt 6.2 is totally outdated and has thousands of bugs.
See https://wiki.qt.io/Template:Release_Information

I have adapted the source code

For these relatively old distributions it is better to install vokoscreen as flatpak.

The App not only has to run on Ubuntu but also on all the hundreds of other distributions, as well as on X11, Wayland, Windows and dozens of Linux-desktops.
