My tailing-edge Leap 42.3 VM seems to be stuck on 5.6

The main check in CMakeLists.txt appears to be this:

        if (Qt5Widgets_VERSION VERSION_LESS 5.3)
                message(FATAL_ERROR "Qt 5.3 or later is required.")
        endif()
        if (Qt5Widgets_VERSION VERSION_GREATER 5.6
            AND (CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC OR CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID MATCHES "Clang"))
                # Qt 5.7 and later require C++ 11.
                set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
                set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
        endif()

There are some other platform-specific checks (Mac).

I don't know what else goes into the decision to move the Qt version required onwards - if it moves forward I will create a new VM.

Ah, sorry, that is the result of my recent change. I had checked here

https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Support_library_version_tracking

which says that 5.9 and 5.12 had already been required by Wireshark 3.0 and 3.2 so I went ahead and used it.

Does it actually compile and work on 5.6 except for that change?

QT 5.6 is a long term support release and there are some distributions stuck on it. I can change my recent commit if we don't want to bump the required version.

In a VM where I build Wireshark, I am getting this error on master:

My installed version of Qt appears to be 5.6.2.

Looking at CMakeLists.txt, there are various checks for Qt5Widgets, but the earliest supported version looks like 5.3?

I think  https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtglobal.html#qAsConst  was introduced in 5.7.

Do we want to bump the minimum versions?
