Mitch,

You might want to get tst_bic to work now if you are interested on this

https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtqa/trees/master/tests/postbuild/bic

I havent tried myself, but I think that you might need:

- Generate the vtables with gen.sh
- Fix tst_bic.cpp to make Qt 5 compatible
- Run some tests (in theory)
   cd <qtmodule>
   QT_MODULE_TO_TEST=$PWD /path/to/tests/postbuild/bic/tst_bic

Maybe you also need https://codereview.qt-project.org/43351 merged first.

Cheers,
