Re: Adding Qt5 libs via VS Additional Dependencies

[Roland Knall <rknall () gmail com>]

Paul, could you give an example, why you chose Qt libraries over Gtk? Was
it not possible, or is it a personal choice?

I do have plugins for WS, which use Qt, but not for dissectors, so I am
just curious, what was missing.

regards
Roland
