Hi Hazen: My recent set of changes introduced no changes concerning the meaning of PLPLOT_USE_QT5. In fact, my recent tests of those changes (see my commit message) show Plplot builds properly here with both -DPLPLOT_USE_QT5=ON (i.e., Qt5) and -DPLPLOT_USE_QT5=OFF (i.e, Qt4). But in each case I used scripts/comprehensive_test.sh which automatically executes cmake in the ideal way, i.e., in an initially empty build tree. In your case, it looks like -DPLPLOT_USE_QT5=ON is being ignored and you are getting consistent Qt4 results instead. (Your cache file reports PLPLOT_USE_QT5=OFF and nothing is found that is Qt5 related.) Is a dirty build tree reflecting previous Qt4 builds causing you the present difficulties with attempting to use Qt5? Of course, if that speculation is not correct, then the next thing you should do is look at your complete cmake output starting with an empty build tree and pristine source tree to see what it says regarding finding Qt5 when you specify -DPLPLOT_USE_QT5=ON. If our build system cannot find Qt5 with -DPLPLOT_USE_QT5=ON it forces PLPLOT_USE_QT5 to OFF and falls back to looking for and using Qt4 in a consistent way. So either scenario (dirty build tree or cannot find Qt5) is consistent with your current cache file. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
