Hi folks Has someone already tried building KDE4.11 against libqt5? Because obviously the developers of KDE are quiet far already in porting the kdelibs so that it will build with the new Qt-API.
Porting to Qt 5 is being done in a separate branch, KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5). KDE 4 won't build against Qt 5 without porting (not as much as the jump from Qt 3 to Qt 4, but still significant work, so upstream are not planning to do a direct port then throw some of it away to do to the architectural simplifications and work to accommodate eg Wayland planned for KF5. You might see a straight port, then refactor as the most conservative strategy, and this is what will happen for most KDE applications, but this isn't possible or wise for the desktop itself. This is because Qt 5 on X11 uses the the async XCB API instead of synchronous Xlib, and Plasma and KWin have a lot of Xlib in their code that requires significant refactoring to remove.
