I would normally expect to move up to UbuntuStudio 24.04 in May/June next year - maybe they'll be more into Qt6 then?
In any case, besides the 2 Qt6 packages I named in the first post, there are another 50 packages listed in the Muon package manager but not installed. It may be that the distro already has what Sigil needs but the names of these packages don't mean much to me.
Looking at
https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil...ith_Qt6.md#qt6
the qt6 modules required for Arch- type linux are qt6-svg, qt6-webengine, qt6-tools, qt6-5compat for the pacman manager. None of these is in my ubuntustudio distro but there are some similarly named packages: qt6-webengine-dev, qt6-webengine-dev-tools, qt6-base-dev-tools, qt6-tools-dev. There doesn't appear to anything similar to qt6-svg or qt6-5compat. They all are 6.2.4 versions.
Could it be possible that some of the qt6 packages already available but not yet installed could allow me to build Sigil 2.0.2 with qt6?
I've made a brief sortie into Sigil and improved the visibility of the code view font. All seems to be working in the way I'm accustomed to. I relocated the Table of Contents from being a tab with the Book Browser to being a tab on the right-hand side with the Preview panel, which is what I prefer. So all looks good.
