You do know that you have no real reason to build Qt, right? It you're just doing it for the practice, I understand... but otherwise, just download/install the Linux 32-bit binary Qt 5.3.2 package and build Sigil against that.

DiapDealer is referring to Qt's generic installable Linux package. The one they provide.

So XP is no longer supported?
Any reason why? |

Why is QT5 so important?

It's only the cross-platform UI framework upon which Sigil is built.

I know that.
The question was however what QT5 has to offer that the previous hasn't. I mean, as a developer, I would rather use a version that I know all its issues (and workarounds) instead of going with newer versions that solves some issues but add others (which are not even known, and take time to debug them). |

A lot of XP installs are on computers with processors that are not up to the task. The processors are too old. They need to at least support SSE2. So what would happen is people with too old hardware would install Sigil and have it fail and then want support for it when it's the computer that's the problem.

QT5 has some new bugs, yes.
But it also fixed some other issues that was holding other things back. M$ ending XP support just helped ![]() Sigil7.x will not run on my old AMD Athelon (no SSE2), so now I just use it for archiving as it still connects to my network. I consider myself lucky that I have not hit walls before this. |

![]() my build of qt didn't have qtwebkit built for some reason so the download was the better and faster option. The preview window is working without any real problems now, although i can't seem to put the preview on a separate desktop to the main editor. However there is no segmentation fault crash when moving it around which did exist in 0.8.0 Anyway thats one successful build on mint16 32bit on a netbook ![]() |
