   28 | #include <QTextCodec>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/filters/rs_filterjww.cpp:27:10: fatal error: 'QTextCodec' file not found
   27 | #include <QTextCodec>

We have a qt6 branch at GitHub. It should build at least.

Please help improve qt6 support by using it.

But, where is the installation???
After my installation, I only found:

/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/librecad
/usr/share/doc/librecad/LICENSE
/usr/share/doc/librecad/README.md

are installed. Where are those libraries and executables that should also be installed????

How did you install?

https://docs.librecad.org/en/latest/appx/build.html

For linux, do the following in the LibreCAD source code top folder(assuming your way to qt6 qmake is qmake6)

qmake6 -r
make distclean
qmake6 -r
make -j8
