Unless you use QMake and QDoc porting to Katie or even supporting it along with
|
2016-01-31 17:59:24 +02:00
|
|
|
Qt4 in the same codebase is trivial and requires only minor changes because
|
2016-05-28 01:54:43 +00:00
|
|
|
Katie is mostly source compatible with Qt4. Do note that using libraries that
|
|
|
|
|
are linked to Qt4 from applications linked to Katie will trigger undefined
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour. Should you enouncter a problem please report it at
