I don't know if 5.7.1 is modern enough for BT LE stuff on bluez. There's
a "// HACK ALERT! Qt 5.9 needs this for proper Bluez operation" and such
which points one towards a modern Qt.

Test with a newer Qt. Newer is better? What could possibly go wrong?

I tried that today. Downloaded qt5.9.1, and used ccmake in subsurface/build
to point to the right qt directories. But the build fails because it
doesn't have webkit. Is there some trick to make it work?

I downloaded dives succesfully on Windows 7 with the latest binary.

Cheers,
Rick
