Build failure with QT 5.10

[LW-archlinux]

no matching function for call to ‘QPainter::drawStaticText(int, int, QString)’ painter.drawStaticText(width() / 2, height() / 2, tr("Recalculating..."));

Full log

Checking 1 and 2 it seems for qt 5.10 the function needs to be called like this: QPainter::drawStaticText(int, int, const QStaticText&)

relevant snippet of log :

visualization/datawidget.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void DataWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent*)’:
visualization/datawidget.cpp:339:81: error: no matching function for call to ‘QPainter::drawStaticText(int, int, QString)’

Hello, compatibility with Qt5.10 has not been verified. I will check asap. Are you using some distribution with Qt5.10?

[LW-archlinux]

yes, i'm running Arch Linux . AL follows a rolling release model aiming for latest stable versions. QT 5.10 entered our repos around 13 december 2017.

While qxmledit is not in arch repos, I maintain an AUR package for your great editor that allows AL users to build it from source themselves . ( see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qxmledit ).

(The binary 0.9.8 I built against qt 5.9.3 still works fine ) .

Hello, I opened a branch r-0.9.9.2 to address the issue. Can you test it?

Thanks.

[LW-archlinux]

the new branch builds and installs fine. I opened 2 xml files, edited a few fields and didn't notice anything strange.

[lbellonda]

An official patch will be released in approx one or two weeks (0.9.9.2).

Hello, version 0.9.9.2 has been released today. Closing this ticket.
