Qt sources
To clone the Qt sources, follow the instructions:
- Register to Gerrit as instructed in [1]. Some notes:
- If you just want to clone the sources, you need to follow the instructions in steps 1-3 and either set an SSH key (step 5) or an HTTP password (step 7).
- If you are going to contribute to the Qt Project, step 4 is mandatory.
- Login to Gerrit and follow the instructions in [2] to clone the LTS source codes.
Yocto environment
If you are using the Yocto environment, please see instructions in https://doc.qt.io/Boot2Qt-6.2/b2qt-meta-qt6.html#using-commercial-qt.
Troubleshooting
Here are some tips for the most common issues. Please note that as a commercial customer you can also contact our support team.
- Please check your license. The LTS branches require a commercial license. An evaluation license does not provide access to the LTS sources.
- If you have used to work with the public Qt 5 repositories, please note that LTS sources are available via tqtc shadow repositories and a Gerrit account is needed for accessing them. Log in Gerrit and set up your account as instructed in [3].
- If you see the following error message at the end of the cloning command, it might refer to the network issues (for example, too slow connection): fatal: early EOF fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output Please wait a while and try again cloning sources.
