I believe you are correct, and should have been flagged for deprecation when we stopped supporting 32 bit builds.

P.S. I've been doing occasional test builds with Qt6.11.1 and it seems to work fine so far.

I found one minor glitch with the JTSDK64-Tools build system in that the version parser script now finds "6.9.3" instead of "0.0.0" in CMakeFiles.txt and for the life of me I can't find what changed that would cause this. Strange! If I change the version to "1.0.0" or any other non-zero number, it picks up that version number. Not the JS8Call team's problem though, so don't worry about that.

F.Y.I - I found the problem with JTSDK64-Tools -- the CMakeLists.txt parser script was not robust enough, so I fixed it by adding that it should look for a line with "VERSION" followed by a number, and now it works perfectly. I report this just to prove that it is not a problem with JS8Call source in any way. I reported this to the development team.

The version is actually gotten internally in CMake. It is passed into the compiler via target_compile_definitions

target_compile_definitions(${TARGET}
      PRIVATE
      CMAKE_BUILD
      JS8CALL_VERSION=\"${PROJECT_VERSION}\"
      GITSHORT=\"${GIT_HASH}\"
      MACHINE=\"${HOSTNAME}\"
      UNAME=\"${USERNAME}\"
  )

A generated config header: configure_file(JS8_Include/js8call_config.h.in -> js8call_config.h) is created, and then precompiled with:

target_precompile_headers(${TARGET} PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/js8call_config.h)

I don't imagine JTSDK64-Tools can use this due to their non-standard toolchain, and they're probably using gcc instead of LLVM-clang. Parsing CMakeLists.txt is not necessarily a recommended way to do it. Because even the git hash for a development build will be extracted and created when CMake runs and assigned to JS8CALL_VERSION and the GIT_SHORT variables, then compiled into the js8call_config.h header.

It is a much more advanced versioning system than what WSJT-x used, without all the extra cruft that that old convoluted version "computing" system used to go thru.
