Discussion

• Enable loading single libraries to speed up Creator Clang parsing : Will consider / Check box in project to not have it parse the entire tree as a workaround
• Dependency creep (rebuilding too many files): Most likely touched a file that is in bootstrap build causing rebuild of moc, consider building tools separately
• QML API CMake/ Design Studio: Still under Discussion, QML modules, CMake vs .qmlproject, Qt for Python
• CMake Multiconfig issues: Ninja. VSCode/macOS, not supported in Creator
• Distributed builds (Fast build) upstream rejected, out of scope
• No customer interest in Distributed builds
• Minimal Cmake version: Distros are the limiting factor
