Hi Andrew: Thanks for extending what Qt5 can do by knocking off that FIXME. Assuming you want to continue extending our use of Qt5 there are 3 more issues to deal with to make our use of Qt5 as extensive as the Qt4 case. 1. For the install-tree case you mentioned above, probably all you have to do is to propagate the PLPLOT_USE_QT5 variable in examples/plplot_configure.cmake_installed_examples.in. 2. For the pyqt4 case, all that you _might_ have to do is to remove my PLPLOT_USE_QT5 test associated with the FIXME comment in cmake/modules/qt.cmake. I don't have a clue whether bindings/qt_gui/pyqt4 will work or not with Qt5, but it is certainly possible that directory name simply reflects what was available at the time when that part of our build system was implemented and is not actually a warning that it will only work with Qt4. 3. The other FIXME in cmake/modules/qt.cmake simply turns off the Qt components of our traditional build system for the installed examples for the Qt5 case. If you turn that on again, you will likely have to modify the configuration of examples/c++/Makefile.examples.in in order to be able to build qt_example with our traditional (Makefile + pkg-config) build system for the installed examples in the Qt5 case. Note, if you don't currently have time to deal with all these issues, I will try to deal with whatever is left after I get access to Qt5. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
