Dolphin wont compile on my Kubuntu 23.04 machine. The compile error I get is :

I was able to fix this issue. KDE Plasma depends on QT5 currently and cmake was trying to use QT5 even though QT6 was installed. I installed QT6.5.1 from the QT website and added 2 environment variables to my bashrc file.
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/username/Qt/6.5.1/gcc_64/lib/
- export PATH=/home/username/Qt/6.5.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake:$PATH
With these variables pointing to my custom QT6 install I was able to successfully compile, install and run dolphin.
