Build fails when compiling qtbindings

[tinvaan]

Following instructions in README, I get an error as following error when compiling qtbindings

I'm using Qt version 5.7.0 provided by my distro. I'm on ArchLinux.

Hi! I haven't used this repo in quite a while, and iirc I've switched to https://github.com/svalaskevicius/qtjs-generator before really testing these changes (which hasn't been touched for a while too after reaching a "working experiment" phase!)

As you're interested in such functionality, would you like to take over the maintenance of any of the two?

[svalaskevicius]

Too add - there might be some config needed to make the new qt versions compatible - qtjs-generator should be more flexible for configuring though, just need to check if the new v8 hasn't changed too much and still works w/o major changes

[tinvaan]

So here's my usecase, I'm porting a project which needs these bindings in order to successfully import some qt extensions(viz. qt, qt.core and qt.xml).

I have plans to add qscriptgenerator(i.e your work, as there is no offical Qt5 release) as a dependency to the project, if it works as expected. That'd mean I'll be happy to take over the maintenance of any of the two projects that works for me - Ideally this one, as I'm guessing it'll likely involve less(er) porting headaches.

[tinvaan]

As far as qtjs-generator is concerned, I've encountered an issue when trying to test it : svalaskevicius/qtjs-generator#24

@harishnavnit Were you able to replace qtscriptgenerator with qtjs-generator or anything else Qt5 compatible?
