Suggestion: ifdef properly for usage with Qt 5.3 so that it builds on the CI. But bind it to a CMake variable which gets passed to the build on the CI system. Something like -DIKNOWTHATITWILLBREAKWITHQT53 The same problem will btw hit Plasma once we branch. KWin is hard depending on Qt 5.4 and I think Eike introduced some hard 5.4 dependencies in other areas, too. Cheers Martin
