Thank you so much again.
I had been using the command line switch before I wrote to this list, as you suggested. But once I started modifying the CMakeOptions.txt and I noticed I could just accomplish the same in there I wanted to dispense with the command line switch. My attempt to build failed. I had to upgrade my version of flex. And I rolled back to a prior release. I had been attempting to compile from the latest commit. I forgot which release off hand, but not a very old one, and finally everything compiles. I had no idea it was that easy. I'm no expert in CMake either.

You don't need to alter it - you can, instead, run CMake with -DUSE_qt6=NO.
And if you *want* to alter it, rather than adding that flag to CMake, you can just change CMakeOptions.txt to say
option(USE_qt6 "Use Qt6 (preferred) instead of Qt5" OFF)
rather than
option(USE_qt6 "Use Qt6 (preferred) instead of Qt5" ON)
