Hello gcompris-qt team,

I'm struggling to renew the packages for openSUSE due to some issues.
On Tumbleweed we have box2d 2.4.1 and qt6 6.8.2 etc ...

I'm trying to get qml-box2d build and installed correctly
but if I've succeed somewhat to build a .so with current released qml-box2d 
this one is installed in /usr/lib64/Box2D 
while gcompris-qt is looking in standard qml dir
which should be /usr/lib64/qml/Box2D2.20

There's a few commits in qml-box2d that have removed qmake support and ported 
to cmake but it doesn't seems to works all the time.

Also there's a PR open to support box2d 2.4.1 since now 2 years but I've no 
clues about its real status.

To help me out, I wonder how you build the software, as on obs you can't use 
git submodules (disconnected vm with protected root) for good reasons.

Shall I stop trying to package qml-box2d (seems lots of distribution has gone 
this way) and add a second tar.xz from qml-box2d source tree (at a precise 
commit?)

Any helps, guidance is greatly appreciate.
