Is Qt 5.0.1 supposed to be compiled with GCC 4.8.0 ?
-
Hi
I tried to compile Qt with MinGW 4.8.0 rev1 from mingwbuilds project. Dependencies compiled fine. (Including OpenSSL, ICU, Freetype, Fontconfig) But Qt itself didn't. I got some errors when mingw32-make compiles ODBC driver. There are redefined symbols:

@Is there any plan to add patches for 4.8.0 or maintain compatibility with the new compiler in 5.0.2 or 5.1.0 ?
-
Qt 5.0.1 is older than GCC 4.8, so it was obviously not released with GCC 4.8 compatibility in mind. Some issues with GCC 4.8 have been found: http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-March/010587.html
-
I'm not sure of the details -- it's something to do with how the compiler handles template specialization.
This patch allowed Qt 5 to be compiled with GCC 4.8: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,48831 It arrived too late to make it into Qt 5.0.2, but it will be in Qt 5.1
-
So why I am able to compile Qt 5 with 4.8 ? And why it works ?
I suppose if there is some compiler-level issues, then should be failures in binary generation, else if there is some ABI-level issue, it will compile but won't work under certain circumstances. Later one is more much more bigger trouble I think. (correct me if I'm wrong)I will run auto test suits provided withing source, and post results here
-
Someone reported that compilation will succeed on Linux if C++11 support is disabled, but not if you enable C++11: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/26362/
Again, I'm unfamiliar with the internals. If you want to know the details, ask on the Development mailing list: http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development

A bit late, but since I stumbled across this post ... Qt 4.8 isn't compiled with -c++11 option by default, that's why it's not affected.
