Description Brallan Jesús Aguilar Rivera 2014-11-16 02:25:34 UTC
Description of problem:
The current version of Qwt works only with Qt4. Some errors are produced while build a Qt5 project using it in QtCreator.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.1.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Qwt plot
2. Configure properly .pro file in QtCreator (add LIBS += -lqwt)
3. Compile. Segmentation fault is produced

Actual results:
The Qwt Fedora package was compiled using Qt4 instead of Qt5

Expected results:
Depending of the Qt version of the project, there would be a Qwt for it

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2014-11-16 02:50:39 UTC
Hrm, last I tried, qwt didn't support qt5

I'll check again.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2014-11-16 02:52:39 UTC

claims it does, but

I'll try to contact upstream to find out what's going wrong here.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2014-11-16 03:52:00 UTC
I found upstream has a couple of Qt-5.4-specific fixes committed since 6.1.1 release, which look promising.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2014-11-16 04:00:21 UTC
Oh, it's too bad, upstream's Qt5 support is ... poor.

They currently do not support parallel-installs of both Qt4 and Qt5 versions (library names and support files are all named the same).

Fixing this is likely a prerequisite before we can ship a qt5-enabled qwt build in fedora.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2014-11-26 17:19:41 UTC
I'd *personally* opt for using qwt-qt5 name (instead of Qt5Qwt), but will wait for some consensus in the upstream discussion before implementing any change in our packaging.
