Re: [qmc2-devel] QMC2 and Qt 5

[R. R. <ren...@ba...>]

Hi again!

So, QMC2 is now basically working with Qt 5, but there's one major drawback: 
they dropped the QX11EmbedContainer class (and friends), so embedding will not 
work in Qt 5 (on Linux/UNIX), at least not in the first place.

I asked on the Qt interest mailing list, and guess what: I'm now the 
maintainer of a new project to revive the QX11Embed-classes in Qt 5 :)!

There's nothing yet (I'll start working on that project at the weekend 
perhaps), but given the open source nature of the "The Qt Project" as it is 
today, it's probably a good way to give something back and at the same time 
protect (my) "old code". However, don't expect it to be ready when Qt 5.0.0 is 
released (there's actually no need to hurry since Qt 4 will still be around 
for quite some time, even after Qt 5's release). A more realistic target is Qt 
5.1, and it may at that point even be included in the "official" sources, 
being an add-on project before.

Cheers, René
