Asp Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It seems that programs using QT5 have many problems with XP. In particular, since both of the main ebook editing apps, Calbre and Sigil, went from QT4 to QT5, they both responded to reports of problems by simply making the installer for new versions refuse to install in XP at all. http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=242223 QT background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28software%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Software_that_uses_Qt As these upgrade their version of QT, XP users will be left behind, either havng flaky programs or ones that won't run or install at all. So, is there a fix/patch/hack to provide the hooks that QT5 needs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 No. Use Qt4 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asp Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Use Qt4 versions.Well, I worked that out for myself. Otherwise, found a version of Sigil compiled for XP Unofficial Sigil v0.8.x Windows Builds http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=247156 Would be nice if there was a more general fix short of Windows 7/8/10.
