IDA 8.3: Qt 5.15.2 sources & build scripts

A handful of our users have already requested information regarding the Qt 5.15.2 build, that is shipped with IDA 8.3.

The Qt sources used by IDA are:

based on Qt 5.15.2,
to which the KDE Qt5 patch collection has been added,
plus a few custom patches/fixes

Rebuilding Qt from source

In order to obtain compatible libs, the simplest way forward is to

download the full archive – it contains the original 5.15.2 source + KDE patches + Hex-Rays patches
go to the build/ directory
type python3 build.py -h

Note: on Windows, that command should be issued from a Visual Studio 2019 command prompt.
