Manual installation of Qt5.15 rpms directly on device

Important: this requires SailfishOS 4.5.

Please note that this is not a straightforward way to install, and may turn out being tedious (I'm not a SailfishOS expert and have very limited experience).

To download all rpms (on desktop Linux), set architecture (default: armv7hl) in file download-rpms.lisp and run it in ECL:

$ ecl -shell download-rpms.lisp # will download to 'rpms/<arch>/'

Installing all base rpms

Copy the rpms to device (see sshfs) and install with (beware that this will give some unmet dependencies):

$ cd rpms/<arch>
$ ./install.sh

On missing SailfishOS lib dependencies, search for package providing the lib with:

$ zypper search <name> # omit 'lib' if not found

and install with:

$ devel-su zypper install <name from search>

Repeat until above install.sh is successful.

Installing devel rpms

First ensure that pkgconfig is already installed:

$ devel-su zypper install pkgconfig

All *-devel packages must be extracted and copied manually, because they all have missing pkgconfig(...) dependencies (which we won't need anyway).

To do the above, just run the following scipt:

$ cd ../<arch>-devel/
$ ./extract-and-copy.sh

Now you should be able to compile lqml, using this qmake: /opt/qt5/bin/qmake.
