[Interest] Qt 6.5.4-LTS from source -> fatal: Unable to find current revision in submodule path 'qt5compat'

[Alexandru Croitor]

Hi,

I just tried the following sequence of commands locally with no pre-existing directory, and everything worked fine.

git clone "ssh://<my-username>@codereview.qt-project.org:29418/qt/tqtc-qt5" qt6_new
cd qt6_new
git checkout origin/tqtc/lts-6.5.4
./init-repository --module-subset=qt5compat

Can you confirm whether the same works for you, to figure out whether this is a general issue, or an issue with the state of your pre-existing checkout?

Also please show the output of running 'git rev-parse HEAD' in your pre-existing qt5compat directory and in your tqtc-qt5 directory.
