[Kexi-devel] [MacPort] Porting Predicate to Qt5 let it begin

Fri Jan 2 16:14:37 UTC 2015

@Wojciech OK, for review please join (fixup) commits into bits that
are functional and keeps coding standards.
Can fail to link or compile though. No problem.

@Boud Do you have recommendations you'd use during porting?

@Wojciech For example things such as $QTBasicLibs are not typical.

When porting let's look at KF5 libs for buildsystem standards and practices.
I think guildelines from techbase  such as
https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Porting_Notes

Look at example:
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=ktexteditor.git&a=blob&h=dd0dbf31f3b982ee9ca8a0f0b5891d6f0ad7843f&hb=fddd268459c301d92521b74a07fd84a1aff05a2d&f=src%2FCMakeLists.txt

I know Predicate is Qt-only but a lot is in common.
Also, there must be a few 3rd-party Qt5 libs that we can use as a
reference too already.
