Porting C++ Applications to Qt 5

This topic talks about the Qt Widgets and Qt WebKit changes in Qt 5. The following step-by-step instructions take you through the
changes required to port the Animated Tiles application to Qt 5:
Open the Animated Tiles project using Qt Creator.
Edit main.cpp and replace the #include <QtGui> instance with #include <QtWidgets>.
Edit the animatedtiles.pro and add QT += widgets towards the end of the file.
Note: Qt GUI is included by default in all Qt applications unless excluded using the QT -= gui directive in the qmake
project file.
Save the changes and run the application.
Once you see the application running, check whether it behaves as expected.

A similar change is needed to port Qt 4 C++ applications using Qt WebKit. The following step-by-step instructions take you through
the changes required to achieve this:
Open your project using Qt Creator.
Replace all #include <QtWebKit> instances with #include <QtWebKitWidgets> in your project source.
Edit the .pro file and add QT += webkitwidgets.
Note: If the QT += statement already exists, append webkitwidgets to it.
Save changes and run your application.
