Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark 2.4.1 build errors (with Qt 4)

[Michael Mann <mmann78@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Per the conversation that started with https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201707/msg00132.html, I would say that yes Qt 4 is still supported by Wireshark 2.4, but it looks like it won't be supported for Wireshark 2.6 release (in what is now current master branch).  The problem is just that we don't have a Qt 4 build environment to catch build errors, so they go unnoticed until someone brings them up (like bug 13909 or what you're doing now).

 

Is this list of compile errors in addition to the ones you found on master?  If you can submit a patch for the master-2.4 branch, that would certainly be appreciated (and accepted).   Since the 2.4 branch is mostly bugfixes (the rare exception being horrific UI issues), I don't think additional compile errors should result going forward.

Is Wireshark v2.4.1 supposed to support Qt 4 still? I get the following compile errors when trying to build it in RedHat EL 7.2:
