Unsolved can i use lib from qt 5.11 with qt 5.3 ?
-
context: to keep compatibilty with xp (yes, i know, but i can't ignore this fringe.)
i use QT5.3 with mingw.i need to have a websocket server on localhost, and the capacity to start a server listening to any ports on demand, to face an already listened port on localhost.
recentrly i was faced to a problem.
the websocket server work perfectly in ssl on any port with client on chrome and IE11..
but firefox encounter a security problem. it can't connect to other ports than 443, 8000 and 8080.
searched a lot on internet and found nothing to explain or correct this.
so, i made a stupid test ( for this context, xp compatibility..)
compiling websocket server with QT5.11 , and miracle, all work perfectly, i can use websocket on all port with firefox.so, the question is:
can i use QWebSocketServer lib 5.11 to compile in my QT5.3 project ??
is this possible..? -
@aquitel said in can i use lib from qt 5.11 with qt 5.3 ?:
is this possible..?
For sure not since the QtWebSocket lib is using new features from the other Qt libraries like e.g. QtCore and QtNetwork. Therefore you can't mix Qt libraries.

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Even if you could mix Qt versions. Anything after Qt5.6 wont work on Xp as far as i understood it.

so it's not even an option to have a 5.11 Qt commandline program to use via QProcess to do the
networking.So im afraid its a dead end with win xp.
