    David Culp - 2015-11-24

    I've updated the project file to require Qt5, which is needed for the viewer. It runs in QtCreator on my system (I have QtCreator 3.5 and Qt 5.4.2 installed. My OS is Lubuntu 15.10).

    I've tried to update the cmake files for Qt5. Cmake runs successfully, but make fails in jsbsim.h and I don't know why. The problem might be simple but I don't have time to learn cmake (it's a rapidly moving target, just like Qt) so unless a volunteer can fix it it'll remain broken.

    The viewer uses the QtWebKitWidgets module, which was made available in Qt 5.0 and is about to be deprecated in Qt 5.5 (Qt is switching from a webkit browser to chromium in Qt 5.5). When the time comes to switch to Qt 5.5 I think the code changes won't be too much.

      It's fixed again.
      Qt5 works a bit different from Qt4 on the cmake side.
