We thought it worked, because we still refrained from using the C++11 features that it didn't have (attributes). However, it wasn't in the CI and didn't build at all. Ville applied a number of trivial fixes that made most of it work, but we ran into at least one compiler bug (fixed in later versions of GCC) and a problem with templates. Those aren't fixed and won't be. So saying GCC 4.8 isn't supported and wasn't supported in 5.14.0 is correct. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
