Over 50 Qt5 open source libraries released

One caveat - some of the libraries require a C++-11 compiler. The code can be patched in most cases so they will compile with a standard C++ compiler, but there are some files that use constructs only available in C++-11. There are also some external dependencies for Tier 1 that aren't always documented and aren't apparent until CMake configuration fails.

Otherwise, there are some very nice things in there.

Well, most compilers these days support a common subset of C++11.

But some other things might have slipped into the code of course. If you are on a supported compiler and it does not build you could report the issue.

I am also sure suggestions on how to improve the dependency documentation would be welcome at as well

I am stuck on Visual Studio 2008 for a bit longer, which does not support C++11 of course. Any day now I can put that in the bin and move on to VS 2013, but not yet.

Things which could be patched to work were uses of the "auto" keyword for local variable declaration, particularly in for() and foreach() expressions. To make these compile under the VS 2008, the type of the variable needed to be specified:

auto foo1 = new Foo();  // Does not compile
auto Foo * foo2 = new Foo(); // Does

auto foo1 = new Foo();  // Does not compile
auto Foo * foo2 = new Foo(); // Does

Something I could not port backwards was the use of std::function<>. There is no current or deprecated functor template that I could find that would compile in the context where it was used (a test in kconfig, if I recall correctly). I didn't try very hard though, since it was a test and the library itself built without error.
