target_link_options are placed by CMake at the beginning of a linker
line. This gives us an opportunity to use the function to propagate
object libraries. This change adds one more check in the root
Config.cmake file. If CMP0099 policy is enabled, CMake enables
propagating of the linking options when linking two static libraries
using the PRIVATE linking visibility, so we can rely on the correct
linking order and expect object libraries to be propagated.
Note that on the platforms where cmake version is higher than 3.16
Qt uses CMP0099 NEW in functions like qt_add_executable. This means
that at the moment of creating an executable target the TARGET_POLICY
genex will also be NEW, so we do not take into the account the user
defined CMP0099.
If the CMP0099 policy is not available for a certain CMake version
we skip the TARGET_POLICY check and simply disable propagation of
the object libraries using target_link_options for both user and Qt
libraries. This is applicable for the CMake versions 3.16 and less.
Linking approaches have the following priorities(from higher to lower)
after this change:
- target_link_libraries - works if link order matters not or CMake
version greater equal 3.21.
- target_link_options - works if CMP0099 is set to NEW by user or
if the CMake version is greater than or equal to 3.17 and an
executable is created using Qt functions.
- object library finalizer - works if CMake version is greater equal
3.19 or qt6_finalize_target is called explicitly.
- target_sources - is used when all the other approaches could not
be used.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.
Linux X11:
* The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.
* The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.
* Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
and activation.
* Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
wait for the user to click the window.
