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>. |
