How can I custom build Emacs with Qt5

Help
1

According to Example 22.5. Custom Emacs build in NixOS manual. I can (and also successfully) build custom Emacs with GTK3 without GTK2.

But I’m curious that can I build Emacs with Qt5?

I’ve try with “withQt5”, “withQT5”, “withqt5” but all are not work.

Or it cannot be build with qt?

2

The current expression doesn’t support qt5. What’s the end goal with building with qt5?

Also, cc @worldofpeace

Emacs doesn’t have a Qt5 version. But it’s fine to use the GTK3 version with Plasma / KDE environment.

Thank you very much.

It would be useful to the forum users to mark @matthewbauer response as a solution, more details.
