The -fPIE option is now accepted when using GCC 4, which means it is available for backward compatibility for clients using CMake 2.8.11 or older which makes use of the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE feature. Conditionally use that feature for old versions of cmake with GCC 4. Restore the tests for those versions, and clarify the situation in the ChangeLog.

Qt 5.4.2 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
|
|
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 5.4.1. Compatibility with Qt
|
|
5.4.0 is also retained, except on Windows when using MSVC 2012 or MSVC
|
|
2013. See note below.
|
|
|
|
For more details, refer to the online documentation included in this
|
|
distribution. The documentation is also available online:
|
|
|
|
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.4/
|
|
|
|
The Qt version 5.4 series is binary compatible with the 5.3.x series.
|
|
Applications compiled for 5.3 will continue to run with 5.4 with the
|
|
exception of on Windows when using MSVC 2012 or MSVC 2013. See note
|
|
below.

* Important Behavior Changes *
|
|
****************************************************************************
|
|
- Restored binary compatibility with Qt 5.3.2 on Windows when using MSVC
|
|
2012 or MSVC 2013. This means that Qt 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 are no longer
|
|
binary compatible with Qt 5.4.0 when using either of those compilers.
|
|
- [QTBUG-42594] OS X binary package: fixed incorrect linking to libraries in
|
|
/opt/local/lib
|
|
- EXIF orientation is no longer applied to JPEG images on read. EXIF
|
|
orientation on JPEG was introduced in 5.4.0, but due to a bug the most
|
|
common EXIF-format (big-endian) was not working until 5.4.1. 5.4.2 restores the
|
|
behavior of 5.4.0 and earlier for most EXIF-tagged JPEGs.
|
|
EXIF orientation will be an opt-in starting with Qt 5.5.
|
|
- On x86 and x86-64 systems with ELF binaries (especially Linux), due to
|
|
a new optimization in GCC 5.x in combination with a recent version of
|
|
GNU binutils, compiling Qt applications with -fPIE is no longer
|
|
enough with GCC 5.x. Applications now need to be compiled with
|
|
the -fPIC option if Qt's option "reduce relocations" is active. For
|
|
backward compatibility only, Qt accepts the use of -fPIE for GCC 4.x
|
|
versions.
|
|
Note that Clang is known to generate incompatible code even with -fPIC if
|
|
the -flto option is active.
|
|
Applications using qmake or cmake >= 2.8.12 as their build system will
|
|
adapt automatically. Applications using an older release of cmake in
|
|
combination with GCC 5.x need to change their CMakeLists.txt to add
|
|
Qt5Core_EXECUTABLE_COMPILE_FLAGS to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS. In particular,
|
|
applications using cmake >= 2.8.9 and < 2.8.11 will continue to build
|
|
with the -fPIE option and invoke the special compatibility mode if using
|
|
GCC 4.x.
