look at qt4/qt5 diffs and adjust compilation/GUI #289

Closed Godley closed 9 years ago

Godley commented 9 years ago

currently on my windows VM I have qt5 installed because it matched my version of visual studio.

This is slightly different to qt4, and as such will need a general review of the gui for changes. It would be preferable to make a new gui in qt5 anyway because this is the latest version.

May also be an option to write a separate gui for windows which is in qt5 and does not include poppler, but avoiding this would be preferable as it would segment the application and that's a slippery slope. Would rather keep the pathways for both versions as close as possible.

Eventually got this going fine before the demo using qt4. Instead of installing everything from source I used the pyqt4 binary installer from riverbank computing's website. However, I would like to move to pyqt5 for all platforms - see issue #297 for more on this. There is now a pyqt5 branch which should be used for any changes to syntax required for pyqt5. I have made this branch because moving to poppler pyqt5 proved difficult.
