Qt proyect 4.8 mix with Qt 5.5

[Arturo Pablo R]

Hi to everyone i have the next question is possible use into qt project with 4.8 a dll, or .lib created with qt 5.X
The case is next, i was assigned to old project, he was developed with qt 4.8 but i need add a new functionality, and for the time is hard the migration to Qt 5.x, (the functionality implemented json and http requests, this 2 things not exist in qt 4.8), and so i think if ¿i can create this functionalities with qt 5.x and export like with a dll or .lib for their use? (and what happens with their dependencies), or is better try to export to qt 5.x or implement directly this modules in qt 4.8.

Hi,

No you can't mix both series of libraries in the same projects.

Unless you are using some specific stuff that's been removed in Qt 5, the Qt 4 to Qt 5 port is usually pretty painless.

What function exactly do you need form Qt 5 that's not available in Qt 4 ?

@SGaist the jsons classes and http post classes(exist by 3rd libraries), but now i'm try to port all the code from qt 4.8 to qt 5.5 (i hope have success)

[SGaist]

IIRC, there was already a QJson library available.

What http post classes ? Qt 4 already provided QNetworkAccessManager.

@SGaist said:

QNetworkAccessManager.

ok, i know by Qjson (but is for a 3rd and i preffer use the official) i forget the existence of QNetworkAccessManager.
