Upgraded to QT 4.5

It has being a while now since I’ve touched the project due to being a bit ill.
Nokia/Trolltech released QT 4.5 earlier this month. I decided it would be best to update to this new version for a number of reasons:

• Ensure code compatible with new versions of QT
• Significant Performance improvements with QT 4.5: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/03/03/performance-and-qt-45/
• New features will be available

All my code compiled successful, however I didn’t see much increase in performance. I will look into this more in the future.

Compiling and Cross Compiling QT 4.5 was no different than that of QT 4.4.3. I did however encounter one problem when cross compiling, a linker error to a symbol that didn’t exist. I believe this has to do with me using a old cross compiler version of GCC. However, the problem was removed by replacing this function. Can’t remember the name now but it was an exit function, that I simply replaced with exit(0).
