This is Qt 6.7.2 backport that runs on Windows 7/8. The repository contains patched source files from the qtbase module. Approach is based on this forum thread but better: many improvements amongst important fallbacks to default Qt 6 behaviour when running on newer Windows.
- After replacing qtbase source files with the patched ones from this repository, you can compile Qt yourself using compiler and build options you need.
- You can use our compile_win.pl build script (uses Visual C++ 2022 with OpenSSL 3.0.13 statically linked)
- You can download our prebuild Qt dlls which also have Qt Designer binary for demonstration
