However, when you no longer need that workaround (i.e., when I can update our build system to use the new Qt5 support method) such overlinking should automatically be corrected. In sum, I will consider my job done once I update our build system to the latest Qt5 support method (and you confirm afterwards that that updated version works for you without any workarounds and no overlinking). However, that build system update will take a while to be completed because I am having trouble with the implementation. I have started a thread on the CMake mailing list concerning the issues I have encountered, and we will see how it goes. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
