Kobo overhauled their toolchain and software versions.


They have upgraded from Qt 5 to Qt 6. Firmware images are now created using Yocto, with much more up-to-date software (including Python!).


To get NickelMenu etc to work will require an updated NickelTC (or an equivalent replacement) so that they can be compiled with the correct library and Qt versions.


No one has yet had the time or motivation to create the new toolchain. Probably the best way would be to figure out the most compatible Yocto layers and use that.
