We should select a minimum Qt version

[FiloSpaTeam]

This can be helpfull to convert some old style code Qt4 to Qt5 for example. Or use newer directive.

At the moment Qt 5.2 seems to be enough minimalist :)

[FiloSpaTeam]

An example: connect changed style with Qt5 and there are part of code with Old Qt4 and parts with Qt5. In this case we are able to compile with Qt4?

[FiloSpaTeam]

So the minimum version is Qt 5.10? :dancer:

[annejan]

I think it should be 😁 Although I don't mind it being a soft-limit for now and have 5.6 as a "hard" limit 😉

[FiloSpaTeam]

Ok so i'll work to migrate all to Qt 5. We have some connect in old style and so on :+1: Later i'll work to refactor and separate Indominus MainWindow :dancing_men:

[5bentz]

I confirm that 5.6 is required for QtPass to compile, since Ubuntu 16.04 LTS cannot compile QtPass with Qt5.5. It's high time for me to upgrade to 1804! :]

[FiloSpaTeam]

Seems good enough :D

[annejan]

I'll update the docs and site tomorrow..

[5bentz]

More precisely, the build stops at Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling, saying that it is not a member of Qt. And indeed, it was added in Qt5.6.

As a side note, I also casually #included <QWidget> in src/usersdialog.cpp to workaround errors here and there...

I'd like to mention I was able to build QtPass up to v1.2.1 for French support & the security :+1: Anyway, besides me, who's building Qt applications on Ubuntu Xenial 1604? :thinking:

I noticed this feature during one of the last pull request. :+1:

I think we should consider that some distros use "old" version of Qt and we should adapt. :D

[annejan]

Yah that sounds like something to easily macro out

[annejan]

@5bentz I'll take your fixes and macro them in, currently installing clean Ubu 14 and 16 VMs to test 👍

Also I'll update documentation and site on this a bit . .

[annejan]

Steps:

• Clean Ubuntu 14.04.5 VM from osboxes.org
• sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git build-essential qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools
• git clone https://github.com/ijhack/qtpass
• cd qtpass
• qmake && make

Qt Version 5.2.1 is now the lowest tested version and 5.11.1 the highest

[annejan]

NB: The unit tests don't work on Ubuntu 14.04 probably some C++11 thing but the app runs like it should

[annejan]

Same steps on Ubuntu 16.04.4 Qt Version 5.5.1 Same result

Ubuntu 12.04.5 apparently only has Qt3 and Qt4 standard . . Swapped qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools for qt4-dev-tools Qt Version 4.8.1 No es bueno!! Many compile errors . .

So I'll just use a ppa by inserting the steps:

• sudo apt-add-repository ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/ubuntu1204-qt5
• qmake -qt5

Qt Version 5.0.2 Almost the same as 4.8 . . and . . well . . I think we can all agree to 5.2 as minimum . . right?

Although I think at-least some of the issues on Ubuntu 12.04 are caused by the old version of gcc

[5bentz]

Thanks! I see the GUI has seen a dramatic overhaul!

Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS with Qt 5.5.1, gcc 5.4

I confirm I can compile it (with errors) but the app runs fine :100:

For those being surprised by the errors, the first and the last errors are: First

In file included from tst_util.cpp:1:0:
../../../src/filecontent.h:20:36: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘<’ token
   NamedValues(std::initializer_list<NamedValue> values);

Gcc not understanding 'std::initializer_list'? Mmmh it is supported though.

Last

tst_util.cpp:100:56: error: no matching function for call to ‘NamedValues::NamedValues(<brace-enclosed initializer list>)’
In file included from tst_util.cpp:1:0:
../../../src/filecontent.h:19:3: note: candidate: NamedValues::NamedValues()
   NamedValues();

The rest are only errors in tst_* files (files for testing I assume).

[annejan]

Yep, the tst_* files are for (unit) testing.

Perhaps we could add some flags (for GCC to understand C++11 stuff) Might give it a try when I spin up an Ubuntu VM tomorrow . .

[annejan]

And yes @5bentz . .

Adding CONFIG += c++11 to the tests/tests.pri file works like a charm and make check works on Ubuntu 16 and even 14 now!! https://github.com/IJHack/QtPass/commit/1cec9a3a5892e2a2fc3023bc87f9c0a78f1a5cd2
