Will MakeMKV be ported from Qt5 to Qt6?
Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2026 7:22 am
Hello,
I'm using MakeMKV in Ubuntu 25.10 via the fantastic PPA created and maintained by @hjmooses:
https://launchpad.net/~heyarje/+archive ... kemkv-beta
Ubuntu is planning to remove all Qt5 libraries and support in it's next release 26.04 LTS (April 2026):
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/removing ... -lts/49296
As MakeMKV uses Qt5 it means that there will be no "official" way to create native packages for newer Ubuntu versions.
Will MakeMKV be ported from Qt5 to Qt6?
I've read that there is a "quick" way of porting Qt5 to Qt6 (or that's what they said) using a "Qt5Compat Library":

Thank you very much and best regards.
