Support for QT5 #19

Open vrguru opened 8 years ago

vrguru commented 8 years ago

I see that qtlua only support QT4.8 or lower? Is there a plan for supporting later QT versions? For example, QT4.8 only comes in precompiled versions for vs2010 which is...old.

To be exact, it should be ported to both Qt5 and recent versions of lua. I just have a hard time finding the time to do it.

It would be go to estimate how many people use qtlua these days...

Indeed, it's a humongous effort with little benefit in terms of adoption.

darmie commented 8 years ago

I need qtLua badly, but most of other things my project would depend on need qt5 or higher.

wrq commented 8 years ago

If this could support QT5, then it would be possible to use Lua to make SailfishOS smartphone apps.

I mean, there's obviously more to it than that, but that's one of the big obstacles.

QT4 will most likely not be supported anymore on macOS Sierra, see Homebrew/homebrew-core#5216 . Only QT5 from this point onwards.

I use this a lot. I do not like web-based UI stuff. But I am fine with staying with Qt 4.8 as well.

Qt is definitely a way to cross-platform application development and Qt5 evolves into a nearly full-stack application framework. With Torch, it would be made easier to develop full-fledged AI enabled applications. Perhaps most of the users are research based and the industry either integrates with their own proprietary extension or simply waits for the new updates.
