My concern with OpenSSL, in the past, there have been binary incompatibility issues (on windows in particular, since I have to ship the openssl dlls) from what Qt expects and a particular version.
Meaning, when I stick with the OpenSSL that was built with Qt when it was made, yes, its security hole, but I have had crashes otherwise. -----Original Message----- From: interest-bounces+scott.bloom=onshorecs....@qt-project.org [mailto:interest-bounces+scott.bloom=onshorecs....@qt-project.org] On Behalf Of Scott Aron Bloom Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 0:13 AM To: Koehne Kai; Thiago Macieira; interest@qt-project.org Subject: Re: [Interest] Building the latest Qt 5.X After speaking withsome offline, it looks like Ill be able to use webengine without much difficulty.. so Ill try that instead -----Original Message----- From: Koehne Kai [mailto:kai.koe...@theqtcompany.com] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 0:02 AM To: Scott Aron Bloom; Thiago Macieira; interest@qt-project.org Subject: RE: [Interest] Building the latest Qt 5.X > -----Original Message----- > From: interest-bounces+kai.koehne=theqtcompany....@qt-project.org > [...] > This is how: > > > I have always built on linux, by simply running configure, then > > make, then make install. > > Any problems with this? > ============ > Yea, it doesn't include the necessary packages, such as Webkit > ============ I guess configure disabled qtwebkit because of missing dependencies then ... run configure -v to see the output of the tests. > > For Linux (CentOS 5 and 6) it's a corporate requirement, we build > > against the DEFAULT versions of GCC, 4.1.2 on CentOS 5 I know old as > > snot, and > > 4.4.7 on CentOS 6.

The binary packages for Qt have been built so far with Ubuntu 11.10 (gcc 4.6). We're right now experimenting with Red Hat 6 and the 'developer toolset' that allows you to use newer gcc : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Developer_Toolset/ . So far it looks promising ...
