"What is the minimum version of XCB required for Qt 5?"
It appears that libxcb-1.5 and xcb-proto-1.6 are required. These releases
were announced Dec 3 2009 and Dec 2 2009 respectively.
Does anyone have a way to determine how wide spread libxcb >= 1.5 has
become in the last 15 months?

Including openSUSE 11.1, but just any XCB is not enough. It needs to be
more recent than some version. For users with an incompatible version of
XCB, I think we can provide a better user experience than hitting compiler

Yes, openSUSE 11.1 was released Dec. 18, 2008, but it was updated as
recently as Jan 13, 2011. This makes the last supported update only a
little over 14 months old.
Yes, it is an old system, but it's not ancient. :)

Is it possible to upgrade just XCB? Upgrading the OS from OpenSU

That one hasn't got much attention and it might not work. The XCB plugin is
the recommended one, as it is one of the reference platforms.
The workaround for systems that don't meet the minimum requirem
changed to "qtbase\src\plugins\platforms\xlib", and run
qmake
make
the plugin will be generated.
Then, you can set Environment variable "QT_QPA_PLATFORM" to "xlib"
or simply pass command line options "-platform xlib" to your application.

Hi,
How about the xlib plugin?

OpenSUSE 11.1 appears to use libxcb-1.1. This version of XCB is too
old for Qt 5 and gives compile errors.
What is the minimum version of XCB required for Qt 5? What is the
recommended workaround for using Qt 5 on a Linux system which doesn't
meet the minimum requirements?
Thanks,
Bradley
