[scribus-dev] Scribus ported to Qt5 -- Please test

[Owen]

> Hi all,
>
> As of yesterday, Scribus 1.5svn can be compiled against Qt 5. This
> port has been much smoother and a lot less disruptive than the one
> from Qt 3 to Qt 4. Moreover, Scribus 1.5svn can still be built with Qt
> 4, and Qt5 is only an option.
>
> To build Scribus with Qt 5 two CMake options have been added:
> -DUSE_QT5=1 and -DQT_PREFIX="path _to_your_Qt5_installation".
>
> Please note that the Upgrade Checker won't be available in a Qt 5
> build, as it depends on a depracated Qt 4 class and needs to be
> rewritten for Qt 5. Everything else should work.
>
> If you discover issues that are specific to the Qt 5 build and want to
> file a bug report, a new bug category "Qt5 Port" has been added to the
> bugtracker.

Well I had a go, it failed ...invalid use of incomplete type ‘class
QDrag’

So I will leave it for another day as I do not know if this is an
error with my Qt5 installation, or something in Scribus. (My Qt5 built
the latest Sigil ok)
