04. April 2019

- Work done on using a yocto generated sysroot to cross-build qtbase to an embedded device (some qtbase patches pending review, some patches still need to be upstreamed to the meta-b2qt repo)
- Regenerated many CMakeLists.txt files with the pro2cmake script
- WIP fixing the conversion script to handle .pri inclusion paths better
- WIP fixing the Windows provisioning to build the Qt CMake port on Windows
- Tested building of qtbase on macOS and Linux on a private instance of Coin (succeeds)
- WIP fixing the conversion script to deal with qmake's "SUBDIRS -=" functionality, which is not supported natively by CMake
- Progress on changing the qtbase configure script to use CMake to build Qt (rudimentary support, no feature mapping yet)
- Various small fixes to omissions in regenerated CMakeLists.txt files

21. March 2019

- Improved pro2cmake script to regenerate Core, Network, Gui, Widgets modules, to have smaller diffs in anticipation of a dev -> wip/cmake merge
- Fixed windows build (qpa plugin, various small conditions and other tiny things)
- Fixed automoc and autorcc not to hang due to incorrect target dependencies (upstream patch)
- Fixed certain incorrect target dependencies
- Improved pro2cmake script to parse which files need to be processed by rcc, instead of using rcc for that
- Worked on provisioning of latest CMake binaries on macOS and Linux
- Worked on getting private instances of Coin to build the CMake port on macOS and Linux
- Initial work on getting the configure script to invoke CMake instead of qmake for building qtbase
