I've been running a flatpack version and want to "do it right" and build from source.

Following the instructions here all is well in getting the needed files installed until I hit qt6-5compat-dev.

Can't find it anywhere, until I find a .deb of it in an Ubuntu site. Try and install that, get an error. Get led to other qt6-5 tools, wow is it complicated. But I get what looks like a current qt6-5 tool kit installed.

Configuration gives the following error output:

CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6WebEngineCoreTools/Qt6WebEngineCoreToolsTargets.cmake:86 (message):
The imported target "Qt6::qwebengine_convert_dict" references the file

"/usr/lib/qt6/libexec/qwebengine_convert_dict"

but this file does not exist. Possible reasons include:

* The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

* An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

* The installation package was faulty and contained

"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt6WebEngineCoreTools/Qt6WebEngineCoreToolsTargets.cmake"

but not all the files it references.

I'll attach the log files as well.

So I'm now out of my depth for sure. Any assistance welcome!
