[Interest] Qt6 - Making Qt installer package for Windows, Linux and OS X

[Alexandru Croitor]

Hi,

On the CMake side of things the focus was mostly on getting Qt to build with CMake.

Going forward, i'd expect improvements on "consumption of Qt with CMake" part as well.

For now, you'd have to do whatever you did in Qt 5 times. So using windeployqt, macdeployqt, custom scripts, etc.

Cheers,
Alex.
