Current GUI version not working with QT 5.4.2

Hey Nick I just wanted to let you know that trying to build the GUI project with the newest QT 5.4.2 version. I'm running Ubuntu 15.10.

I managed to make the GUI compile under QT 5.4.2 by removing all instances of "QApplication::UnicodeUTF8" in the ui_* header files, changing <QtGui/...> to <QtWidgets/...> and adding QT += widgets to the .pro file.

There might be some cleaner backwards dependency fix for QT but I for one did not find it.

Thanks for the info.

It's annoying Qt did not add more backwards compatibility support. I'll try and install the latest version so I can update the needed files, or I can merge your changes if you submit a pull request.

Okay now I am able to build the newest version of grt with Qt version: QT 5.4.2 in PATH (qt5) chosen under as kit. The building process however generates over 1200 warnings, but that's another topic..
