Opencv With Qt == 5.15

[acpaquette]

Comment:

Hello all,

I'm a developer on ISIS3 for the USGS, and we are trying to update our dependency list to use qt 5.15. Would it be possible to release a version of opencv/libopencv built against qt 5.15?

I saw there was another PR, specifically #206, that may be related to this. Something else that I don't fully understand is why opencv for linux needs qt while the OSX version does not require it.

Thank you for the response and I look forward to getting something worked out.

it was just alot of maintenance, and not enough reward. Qt 5.12 eventually became stable, and it wasn't so much of a problem anymore.

You could build your own version of opencv with qt 5.15 in anticiaption, but the problem will be that an other dependency of yours will also require 5.12, so you would have to wait for the conda-forge migration anyway

see progress: conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io#1734

My knowledge as to why OSX was built without qt support was that it was probablby too difficult ot do it back then.
