Ah, that's also good to know, thanks. Does that also mean QWE 5.11 builds on 
all platforms where Qt 5.9 builds (I'm thinking of Mac OS versions in 
particular)?

Won't help me though because the fact I'm running Qt 5.9 on the system in 
question is already a hack (OS X 10.9.5; for reasons I won't go into here I 
want to postpone upgrading the OS as long as possible). Getting Qt(Base) 5.9 to 
build there was relatively easy (and not too much work to figure out). I 
started trying to backport QWE 5.9 the same way but gave up when it became 
clear this would take a *lot* more time. That's why I'm using QWE 5.8; it 
builds against Qt 5.9 with no or minimal adaptation.
