Description

In qt-5.11 there has been some tweaking of header files, which result in FTBFS when building qgis-3.2.1 (and maybe earlier qgis3 versions).

Whilst I wouldn't suggest that you simply apply the attached patch, it does show the results of the work I did to identify that places where changes are needed. That will provide a start to the "proper" solution for qgis.

I cloned the QGIS tree from github and manually applied the proposed changes. The build completed successfully.

The latest snapshot of gcc8 spits out a few warnings, but they appear not to be related to these changes. (I have a log of them if anyone is interested in investigating them).

Giving up. Please make a PR yourself.

I don't understand. There's a hint in your post yesterday that you have lost patience waiting for me. I replied (in note-4 above) to your request that I "check this out" (note-3 above). What else are you waiting for me to do?

#7 Updated by Alessandro Pasotti over 5 years ago

No: I haven't lost patience waiting for you, sorry if it seemed like that, I just have no time to follow this now.
