User projects can set the QT_PROMOTE_TO_GLOBAL_TARGETS variable to
true so that the various imported targets created by find_package(Qt6)
are promoted to global targets.
This would allow a project to find Qt packages in a subdirectory scope
while using those Qt targets from a different scope.
E.g. it fixes errors like
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (target_link_libraries):
Error evaluating generator expression:
$<TARGET_OBJECTS:Qt6::Widgets_resources_1>
Objects of target "Qt6::Widgets_resources_1" referenced but no such
target exists.
when trying to use a static Qt from a sibling scope.
Various 3rd party dependency targets (like Atomic or ZLIB) are not
made global due to limitations in CMake, but as long as those targets
are not mentioned directly, it shouldn't cause issues.
The targets are made global in the generated
QtFooAdditionalTargetInfo.cmake file.
To ensure that resource object libraries promoted, the generation
of the file has to be done at the end of the defining scope
where qt_internal_export_additional_targets_file is called,
which is achieved with a deferred finalizer.
Replaced all occurrences of target promotion with a helper function
which allows tracing of all promoted targets by specifying
--log-level=debug to CMake.

When packaging different Qt versions for Linux distributions (or any
distribution with a common bin dir), Qt tools cannot be installed to
/usr/bin, because the executable names of the different Qt versions
clash.
To solve this conflict, our recommendation is to install Qt's tools to
/usr/lib/qt6/bin and to create versioned symlinks to user-facing tools
in /usr/bin.
User-facing tools are tools that are supposed to be started manually by
the user. They are marked in Qt's build system. Distro package
maintainers can now configure with
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
-DINSTALL_BINDIR=/usr/lib/qt6/bin
-DINSTALL_PUBLICBINDIR=/usr/bin
and will find a file called user_facing_tool_links.txt in the build
directory after the cmake run. Nothing will be installed to
INSTALL_PUBLICBINDIR.
Each line of user_facing_tool_links.txt consists of the installation
path of a user-facing application followed by a space and the versioned
link name in INSTALL_PUBLICBINDIR.
Example content:
/usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmake /usr/bin/qmake6
To actually create the versioned symlinks, the content of this file can
be fed to ln like this:
xargs ln -s < build-dir/user_facing_tool_links.txt
Or the package maintainer may decide to do something completely
different as suits their needs.
This patch adds the USER_FACING argument to qt_internal_add_tool to mark
tools as user-facing. In addition, every Qt created by
qt_internal_add_app is treated as user-facing.
The only tool this patch marks as user-facing in qtbase is qmake.

When a CMake release introduces a new policy that affects most Qt
modules, it may be appropriate to make each module aware of that newer
CMake version and use the NEW policy without raising the minimum CMake
version requirement. To reduce the churn associated with making that
change across all Qt modules individually, this change allows it to be
updated in a central place (qtbase), but in a way that allows a Qt
module to override it in its own .cmake.conf file if required (e.g. to
address the issues identified by policy warnings at a later time). The
policies are modified at the start of the call to
qt_build_repo_begin().
For commands defined by the qtbase module, qtbase needs to be in
control of the policy settings at the point where those commands are
defined. The above mechanism should not affect the policy settings for
these commands, so the various *Config.cmake.in files must not specify
policy ranges in a way that a Qt module's .cmake.conf file could
influence.
Starting with CMake 3.12, policies can be specified as a version range
with the cmake_minimum_required() and cmake_policy() commands. All
policies introduced in CMake versions up to the upper limit of that
range will be set to NEW. The actual version of CMake being used only
has to be at least the lower limit of the specified version range.
This change uses cmake_minimum_required() rather than cmake_policy()
due to the latter not halting further processing upon failure.

...for QT_BUILD_TOOLS_WHEN_CROSSCOMPILING.
qt_internal_export_additional_targets_file now gets two lists of target
names when run from qt_export_tools:
- TARGETS containing actually existing targets, and
- TARGET_EXPORT_NAMES containing the target names as they appear in the
additional target info file.
Operations that require actual targets are run on the TARGETS, in the
additional target info file only TARGET_EXPORT_NAMES are written.
This distinction is required for the case where the host Qt lacks a
tool that is built in the target Qt.
Example: host Qt is built with DEVELOPER_BUILD=OFF, target Qt is built
with DEVELOPER_BUILD=ON. Then the host Qt lacks qmljs, but it is built
in the target Qt. TARGETS contains qmljs_native, and
TARGET_EXPORT_NAMES contains qmljs.
