This will be an in-app launcher for Mac initially, based on Qt5. Primarily, because the old Mac launcher doesn’t work on Yosemite, so we are adding a tiny Qt-based launcher inside the main process (no need to fork / exec) which runs before the OSG window is created, this will be merged for 3.4, hopefully with no impact on other platforms | This will be an in-app launcher for Mac initially, based on Qt5.

The Qt5 stuff is currently only enabled for the Mac/OSX platforms because the corresponding launcher there had to be discontinued (well its dependencies got phased out by Apple) - and shouldn't be used anywhere else (yet)<ref>http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=234090#p234090</ref>. | The Qt5 stuff is currently only enabled for the Mac/OSX platforms because the corresponding launcher there had to be discontinued (well its dependencies got phased out by Apple) - and shouldn't be used anywhere else (yet)<ref>http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=234090#p234090</ref>. | ||

The upcoming FlightGear 3.6 release is likely to contain an integrated, hard-coded, launcher based on Qt5 to work around the issue of the mac launcher no longer working on Yosemite<ref>http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=228961#p228961</ref>, because James Turner is prototyping a Qt5 cross-platform GUI <ref>http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=232593#p232593</ref>. | The upcoming FlightGear 3.6 release is likely to contain an integrated, hard-coded, launcher based on Qt5 to work around the issue of the mac launcher no longer working on Yosemite<ref>http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=228961#p228961</ref>, because James Turner is prototyping a Qt5 cross-platform GUI <ref>http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=232593#p232593</ref>. | ||
Once we have a built-in Qt launcher that's shipped by default on Mac it will probably be used on other OS in the coming release. FGRun will be gone by then, FGRun will be gone with the next release of FlightGear, in favour of a built-in launcher.<ref>http:// | Once we have a built-in Qt launcher that's shipped by default on Mac it will probably be used on other OS in the coming release.
