so in order to build it, you need qt6 SDK
and I’m also not sure where to find /path/to/Qt/version/gcc_64 mentioned in this build command :
cmake -B build_dir -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt/version/gcc_64
so my solution is just using ${pkgs.qt6.qmake}/Qt/6.6.1/gcc_64, however, I’m unable to locate the exact path of it after using nix-locate
And I’m also not sure if using libsForQt5.callPackage will affect the build process, even though i specify the buildInputs and nativeBuildInputs to to use qt6 with pkgs.qt6.
anyways, the build process is not at all successful and I’m having difficulty with it. Please help me.

Usage: qmake [mode] [options] [files]
QMake has two modes, one mode for generating project files based on
some heuristics, and the other for generating makefiles. Normally you
shouldn't need to specify a mode, as makefile generation is the default
mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on an existing project
Mode:
-project Put qmake into project file generation mode
In this mode qmake interprets [files] as files to
be added to the .pro file. By default, all files with
known source extensions are added.
Note: The created .pro file probably will
need to be edited. For example add the QT variable to
specify what modules are required.
-makefile Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default)
In this mode qmake interprets files as project files to
be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
file in your current working directory
Warnings Options:
-Wnone Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by
later -W options
-Wall Turn on all warnings
-Wparser Turn on parser warnings
-Wlogic Turn on logic warnings (on by default)
-Wdeprecated Turn on deprecation warnings (on by default)
Options:
* You can place any variable assignment in options and it will be *
* processed as if it was in [files]. These assignments will be *
* processed before [files] by default. *

-early All subsequent variable assignments will be
parsed right before default_pre.prf

parsed right before [files] (the default)

parsed right after default_post.prf

-qtconf file Use file instead of looking for qt.conf
-cache file Use file as cache [makefile mode only]

-nomoc Don't generate moc targets [makefile mode only]
-nopwd Don't look for files in pwd [project mode only]
The error log seems like i didn’t specify operands for qmake, even though i set dontBuild to true and specify ``buildPhase` commands. I’m not quite sure what’s happenning
