Yay, finally all the pieces have come together and I have finally been able to compile Qt 6.9 and @kde Plasma development version (what is to be released as 6.4 in June) for my @bananapi BPI-F3, a RISC-V single-board (mini) computer. Plasma does start and run, but looks like QML/QtQuick applications (which includes the desktop itself) have rendering problems 
Qt Widget apps render/run just fine. Now to figure out where the problem is…
Good news from #FreeCAD 's "cousin" application #QGIS, "
Big Changes Ahead: QGIS Is Moving to #Qt6 and Launching QGIS 4.0!"
https://blog.qgis.org/2025/04/17/qgis-is-moving-to-qt6-and-launching-qgis-4-0/
Qt 6.9 is now available, with new features and improvements for application developers and device creators! As some of the highlights, upgrading to Qt 6.9 brings emoji rendering in existing applications up to the latest standards, order independent transparency for Qt Quick 3D, significant enhancements to address modern OAuth2 requirements, and multiple new performance features across all platforms and devices.

So eventually I am going to be porting Clear.Dental to #qt6 . Because there is so much QML involved, this will be a major task that will take a good man-month or two. But since I need to make a lot of changes, I now have the option to switch the QML Qt Quick Controls to a new theme / toolkit. Any suggestions I should use?
