Hello Thomas.
Nice to meet you.
I am not a programmer, so I do any error, please state so.
Is it possible to compile KDE with CodeBlocks?
If no, what is the difficulty level for that?
Good night,

I installed Qt 5.6.0 and MSVC 2015, and surprisingly Kate
including all its dependencies compiled out of the box.
I still see QStringLiteral fixes from time to time on the commit
mailing list. Given MSVC 2015 Community Edition is available
just like v2013, and it seems to work I believe that committing
such fixes does not make sense, in fact, it often makes code
worse.
Therefore, I would like to propose v2015 as required compiler
and Qt5.6 as required Qt version on Windows, or are there
reasons against it?
I'll put it the other way around. Annoying as it is, does that
QStringLiteral nuisance justify upping the requirements? Factually that
_is_ going to happen as the MSVC 2013 (and 2012) builds are
going to get less testing. But I don't think that is a state we should
actively rush into. Increased requirements always come with an
increased cost.
I don't know if anybody is producing fully official windows binaries
based on KF5, yet. But once I will be doing that for RKWard, I know I
will appreciate a somewhat stable environment. Say I just want to pull
in a fix in framework X. I may have to update some dependencies, too,
but I hope it will not mean _starting from scratch_ (new compiler, new
Qt, etc.).
Also, suppose Qt 5.6.0 turns out to have some nasty bug that I just
can't work around. Keeping backwards compatibility with Qt 5.5 forever
is not an option, but discarding fallback options, again, carries a
cost.
Qt 5.5 is not precompiled for MSVC 2015, that's why increasing
the Qt version should be fine, especially since 5.6 is an LTS
version.
Note that with Qt 5.5, MSVC 2013 was the _only_ supported compiler for
QtWebEngine, not just for pre-built binaries. So MSVC 2013 would have
been one of the most obvious choices up until one week ago.

Thomas
