Now, I got a working 10.5.5 Leopard VM. I guess making the released
build(.dmg) with latest qt has the pros that a lot of qt bugs will be fixed
for us but has the cons that you said regarding 10.5. I guess the amount of
bug to take into consideration is smaller since we are using a lot of old
modules, not new modules, QML or mobile stuff. Should we offer two
different builds .dmg : one built with qt 4 recommended for old version
and one done with qt 5 for new versions ? It's hard to tell, even though
support is limited, maybe there is still less bug in qt 5 on old systems,
than on qt 4. Qt 5 is probably not tested on old windows versions(and also
some distros if we decide to make prepackaged binary), should we do the
same ?
