During a three-month period, Hillwood Yang focused on enhancing the linuxdeepin/dde-file-manager repository by addressing build system reliability and modern compatibility challenges. He migrated the regex engine from PCRE1 to PCRE2, updating C and C++ code paths to ensure robust regular expression handling on current systems. Hillwood also resolved build failures by refining CMake configurations, adding missing library links, and implementing compatibility fixes for GCC 15 and Qt 6.10. His work, grounded in C, C++, and CMake, improved cross-version stability and packaging readiness, demonstrating a methodical approach to system programming and maintenance across evolving toolchains and dependencies.

October 2025 β LinuxDeepin DDE File Manager: Qt 6.10 Build Compatibility Fix. Implemented essential build-system updates to support Qt 6.10+, ensuring correct locating and linking of GUI and Widget private headers. This reduces breakages with newer Qt versions and improves downstream packaging readiness.
