Description of problem: The original AQEMU upstream [1] is effectively dead and has been since at least 2013. As a result downstream users and packagers, including Fedora, are carrying an increasing number of patches [2]. Tobias Gla recently contacted me indicating that he has updated AQEMU for QT5 as well as applying the various downstream fixes folks were carrying and created a fork of the project [3] that he intends to keep active. Originally in light of the dormancy of upstream I was intending to orphan the AEMU package in F25, given this new activity though I would like to instead move to packaging the new/updated repository. This bug is to track that desire, notwithstanding that I need to double check whether this is feasible from a process perspective.

The keys to https://sourceforge.net/projects/aqemu/ have been given to a new maintainer (Tobias) who has been working on integrating the various out of tree patches into the project and has release a new version (0.9.1) as a tarball. As such we can now update the aqemu packaging to pick this up and remove most if not all of the Fedora-specific patches as they are now in master.
aqemu-0.9.2-1.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-f2ef5224c4
aqemu-0.9.2-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates.

Are you sure to build with Qt5 libraries? Commit 5e8f6c8 shows an additional BR: qt5-qtbase-devel but still wants also qt-devel. Cmake may prefer to build binaries for Qt4, at least you should remove BR: qt-devel . Please build for Fedora 23, too. Thanks in advance!

I'll remove it in a subsequent patch but based on the build behaviour the project wont actually build with Qt4 anymore, so I doubt it is falling back to it. > Please build for Fedora 23, too. Thanks in advance! Fedora 23 is considered a Stable Release at this time and as such I am hesitant to push what I consider to be a fairly major rebase of the package to it.

Your latest builds, without BR: qt-devel, failed. build.log says it does not find rcc, indeed it's part of qt-devel. Maybe we found a bug. $ which rcc /usr/bin/rcc $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rcc qt-devel-4.8.7-17.fc24.x86_64 $ rcc 2>&1 |head -1 Qt resource compiler Reassigning to Qt5 maintainers to ask why there's no rcc available in qt5-qtbase-devel.
Use /usr/bin/rcc-qt5 from qt5-qtbase-devel instead of rcc. This may need a patch for CMakeLists.txt or the like.
or prepend %{_qt5_bindir} (aka %_libdir/qt5/bin ) to $PATH, so that the rcc binary there is found first.
