[Interest] Qt 5.15 for Linux/X11 : "-qt-xcb" no longer supported?

[Kai Köhne]

And indeed the linux documentation wasn't updated yet :/

Hi folks,

we've long used the -qt-xcb configure option to build Qt XCB support without supplying the boatload of pesky dependencies, but contrary to what the Qt 5.15 "Requirements" page (https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.15/linux-requirements.html) says, it no longer appears to be supported, now instead being a boolean argument according to the configure error message I get when I try to specify it, and confirmed by looking in qtbase/src/gui/configure.json.

Were the Qt-supplied XCB libraries removed from the Qt sources (and the documentation is just out of date), or is the option still supported except for a bug in the configure scripts?

They were removed in this patch: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/253905
