Running CMake on Windows 8 outputs Qt warning #78

Closed Fraser999 closed 11 years ago

Fraser999 commented 12 years ago

CMake outputs Qt: "Untested Windows version 6.2 detected!" Can this be dealt with?

Viv-Rajkumar commented 12 years ago

Not until Qt 5.0.

Qt have mentioned they are not supporting/testing Windows 8 with 4.x builds and we are dropping Qt pretty soon(Post P1) on Windows and Mac anyways for .Net-WPF(Win) & Cocoa Objective-C(Mac)

Viv-Rajkumar commented 12 years ago

Actually they seem to have reverted their support intentions from only 5.0+

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.devel/4087

They have backported the OS detection flag to 4.8.3

4.8.3 However also has a webkit update and webkit still do not officially support VS11.

If we move to 4.8.3 now we will have to first get webkit to compile again with its changes and make sure it does not crash elsewhere.
