Motivation for this change

This patch slightly cleans up the sqlitebrowser derivation and
switches from a cmake-based build to a qmake build using
qmakeConfigurePhase and the corresponding hook.

QMake is far more suitable for QT-based builds (and suggested e.g. here
#42320 (comment)),
furthermore the CMake build suffers from issues like missing commands
including qt5_use_modules.

Fixes #42320
See https://hydra.nixos.org/build/76952038

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

This patch slightly cleans up the `sqlitebrowser` derivation and
switches from a cmake-based build to a qmake build using
`qmakeConfigurePhase` and the corresponding hook.

QMake is far more suitable for QT-based builds (and suggested e.g. here
NixOS#42320 (comment)),
furthermore the CMake build suffers from issues like missing commands
including `qt5_use_modules`.

Did you mean to move qscintilla up?

nope. in fact sqlitebrowser provides its own qscintila for the build process (but not even the old CMake derivation used this.
But you're absolutely right, I'll revert this to make the diff easier to read.

I have merged #42351, so this PR is no longer necessary. I'd prefer to keep the cmake based build because it appears to be in better shape (no /usr/local, no bundled qscintila) and it is described in the building instructions. I'd still appreciate you becoming the maintainer of this package.

I've always learnt that qmake is more suited for QT-based builds than cmake, but you're right in this case it seems to be better to ues cmake (and I'm not really interested in fixing the qmake instructions upstream 😄 )

I'd still appreciate you becoming the maintainer of this package.

Of course, feel free to add me to the maintainers list! :)
It took me a little while to fully understand the builds of thi spackage so I guess in case of further breakage I could help out %)
