Building Sigil on (old) Kubuntu 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur)
First of all, Thanks to you developers for all the work you do.
I have one comment related to building Sigil on Kubuntu 23.10, which still uses Qt 5.15.10, and might apply to the next version of Kubuntu shortly to be released, 24.04, and then another question requesting your advice. So here goes: My system is Kubuntu 23.10 (Mantic Minotaur) and the system installed Qt is 5.15.10 as specified above. When building Sigil 2.1.0, following the instructions in ~/sigil-2.1.0/docs/Building_on_Linux_older.md, as I always do, I executed the instructions to install the required and optional system dependencies. All required and optional packages had already been installed. However, cmake failed because libqt5svg-dev was not installed. After I installed it, everything worked as expected. So maybe that package should also be listed in the instructions. Second question: Given that the next upgrade of (K)ubuntu to 24.04, which is a long term support release, still seems to include Qt 5.15.x as far as I know (only looking at pre-Beta builds, but no hint that the final release will be 6.x that I can see), would you recommend going ahead and installing Qt6x, (which is in the repositories now), or just waiting until it finally shows up in the distribution? Thanks again for your work! ![]() Albert |

In addition, I no longer make Qt5 based releases, so it is not tested as much as Qt6 releases. We think Qt 6.6.2 or Qt 6.6.3 are really quite stable. So if they are available to you, I would go that way. |

Any issues with just installing v2.1.0 over Sigil v1.70 or should I uninstall the old first?

There wouldn't be any problem installing over top, but I usually recommend uninstalling the old version first on Windows. Mostly for neatness. Some older libraries might not be removed if newer ones are being installed. I've never had it cause any problems--i just don't like old, unused files lying about taking up space. Regardless of which way you go, existing plugins and preferences will be retained (that's provided you use the uninstaller and don't manually delete anything).

Note that moving from 1.7 to 2.1.x will result in your ini files being migrated to v6 versions for Qt6, but the originals will be retained should you need/want to roll back.
