Compiling Flamerobin with QT (wxWidgets qt port) experimental

There is a port for wxwidgets on qt (work in progress and still with many gaps)
So this is only proof of concept.

git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git
cd wxWidgets
mkdir bldqt5
cd bldqt5
../configure --with-qt --enable-debug --enable-compat28 --prefix=/opt/wxqt

then with flamerobin clone git 

./configure --with-wx-config=/wxgt/wx-config --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/flamerobin

make 
it compiles fine :)

you will have an error and you need to add the qt libs when linking 

-lQt5Gui -lQt5Core


Flamerobin starts after a few errors and after that you can see and click the tree with databases and metadata and get the properties.

What doesn't work : db query and grid , you will get a crash

ps: tested on ubuntu 14.04 with qt5




What is next ? Android ;)
