Hi Dave,
yes, it can be hard to start with Qt development.
First some questions:
1. Do you really want to work on Qt5? Or could you work on Qt6?
https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git
2. Do you know which Qt modules you need? Fewer modules are faster
compile times and less opportunity for failures.
More answers below.

attempting to follow instructions here:
https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
i'm using the app "Fork" as my git GUI so i did SOME steps there.. i think i
got it all right?
i got to the point of testing my ssh thing with this command:
ssh codereview.qt-project.org gerrit stream-events
I guess you are currently working through
https://wiki.qt.io/Setting_up_Gerrit
Probably everything is correct. There are just sometimes long periods
where nothing happens, so stream-events will not output anything.
but all that did was... nothing. didn't even return to the command line prompt.
just sat there.
what is expected?
Output like
{"project":"qt/qtquick3d","ref":"refs/heads/dev","targetNode":"code.qt.io","status":"succeeded","refStatus":"OK","type":"ref-replicated","eventCreatedOn":1608282687}
{"project":"qt/qtquick3d","ref":"refs/heads/dev","targetNode":"it-dl08-ber","status":"succeeded","refStatus":"OK","type":"ref-replicated","eventCreatedOn":1608282688}
so i skipped that step, hoping maybe ... it would still work?
then i got all the way to executing this command:
perl init-repository --module-subset=default,-qtwebengine
it immediately came back with:
Will not reinitialize already initialized repository (use -f to force)!
Could you please restart from scratch and try again? If you go to an
empty directory and execute
git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
cd qt5
git checkout 6.0
perl init-repository --module-subset=default,-qtwebengine
--codereview-username <Jira/Gerrit username>
Does this work? Could you share the output of these commands?
Next step then would be to build it, but let's get that done first.
I hope this helps,
best,
Andreas
