I have not looked into the issues in detail but have a look at this

  http://qt-project.org/wiki/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5.

If code is deprecated it should still work but some other stuff eg 
#includes have to be changed if your code contains them. Its probably a 
question of build it and see if it works if not dig around.

I believe KDE5 frameworks has been completely rewritten in Qt5. This 
only a problem if your program uses KDE4 Frameworks.
