This build was against 5.5.0 alpha, but being feature complete it's likely the bug will persist.

A fix would be very welcome in the way that compiling against both Qt 5.4 and Qt 5.5 would work via for example #ifdef. That way a no-change rebuild would make landing process simpler.

Could you Michael look at this at some point so it'd be possible to test Qt 5.5 running on the phone? (maliit-framework requires a rebuild because of its private symbol usage, and it's the last piece not building)

A preferable fix would be a build time detection of Qt 5.4 or Qt 5.5 and different code path if needed.

[Michael Sheldon (michael-sheldon)]

Sure thing, I'll try and get it scheduled for our next sprint.

[Michael Sheldon (michael-sheldon)]

Attached is a patch which fixes the build issue, I haven't be able to test it on a device running Qt 5.5 though, as the PPA currently renders the phone unbootable, so I'd suggest just adding this patch to the package in your PPA for now.

The patch works great ie at least it builds! https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-012/+sourcepub/4954300/+listing-archive-extra

Wily is now open. This would be nice to get landed there at some point before Qt 5.5 gets released.
