try installing the following package: extra-cmake-modules

[pfr-dev]

after installing extra-cmake-modules it get's a tiny bit further along but still stalls at the same error:

dave@void ~/Downloads/guifetch/build $ cmake ..                                                                                                                     main

Another option is to add the qt6 path to the variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/qt6/lib/cmake ..

[pfr-dev]

It's a little over my head I think. I don't know where .../qt6/lib/cmake is exactly so unless you can narrow it down for me I'll likely just give up. Your README says it has been tested with Void so I just assumed it would work out of the box. :(

[SrWither]

I had tested it on voidlinux in January, and it compiled without problems, but for some reason cmake fails to find qt6 on your System

[SrWither]

According to my memories, probably qt6 is located in: /usr/share/qt6

I'm going to install voidlinux in a virtual machine to see what exactly happens and add it to the readme.md

[pfr-dev]

ok so, /usr/share/qt6 does not exist. there is only /usr/share/qt5

dave@void $ whereis qt6
qt6: /usr/lib/qt6

dave@void /usr/lib/qt6 $ ll

Ok, I know what is happening, cmake tries to find qt 6.4, but the latest version is 6.5, I have to remove the specific version and use the one it finds

[SrWither]

try again, cloning the repository again and compiling it
