octovis built against qglviewer (qt5)

[lepalom]

HI,

in debian, the qglviewer maintainer is considering to drop the qglviewer version compiled against qt4. So, we will have only the qt5 version. I have tried to build octomap (octovis), but, it fails because a lot of checks of qt4 to use qglviewer.

It would be possible to prepare octomap to check if qglviewer is built again qt5 or qt4 and built it?

I can't promise that very soon. Could you or someone else provide a pull request with the required change? Ideally, it would work with both qt4 and qt5 afterwards.

Since Qt4 is end of life I think we can safely transition to Qt5.

Here's a small HowTo(although probably the changes in the CMake files will be more involved): https://wiki.qt.io/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5

Octovis builds fine with Qt5 (OCTOVIS_QT5 cmake flag). Shouldn't this issue be closed?

I think there's only an issue with the internally supplied libqglviewer with Qt5, but otherwise it should be working.
