Thanks for your GSoC proposal :-).<br>
<br>
My requirement are that I have a library for example to use on<br>
Blackberry and/or on Jolla and/or Windows etc.<br>
<br>
Look deeper in the platform differences between the Blackberry and Jolla,<br>
you notice that Blackberry use Qt 4.8.6 with Cascades (it's also a<br>
QML engine with different UI components) and Jolla use Qt 5.x with Qt Quick2.<br>
So the minimum requirement are Qt 4.8.6.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>First of all, I don't know much about Blackberry OS but upon Google search I came to know that Blackberry OS 10 does support Qt5.[1]</div><div>Qt has also explained whole method compiling cross platform Qt5 for Blackberry.[2]</div><div>So, it would be better to use Qt5 as it is more developed and many new things have been added to it and even more are coming.</div><div><br></div><div>May be KDE Connect master branch is still using Qt4(correct me if I am wrong) but KDE Connect Developers have already ported it to Qt5 and using KF5 whose dependency is Qt version>5.2.

My idea/wish are to have a build target in kde connect project that build<br>
