[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48881] Build failure due to -qt5 flag for uic, rcc, moc, and lrelease

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #48881 (project octave):

T.M., apparently the "qtchooser" pathway isn't necessary.  But you need to
create a ~/.config/qtchooser/default.conf:


sebald@ ~ $ moc -v
Qt Meta Object Compiler version 63 (Qt 4.8.6)
sebald@ ~ $ mkdir .config/qtchooser/
sebald@ ~ $ cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtchooser/qt5.conf
.config/qtchooser/default.conf
sebald@ ~ $ moc -v
moc 5.2.1


But, I don't know if that helps Octave make any, because it is searching for
qt5 first priority.  It is only of benefit to you if you want to use these
moc/uic commands directly.

If I'm understanding correctly now, the change you made, i.e., created
~/.config/qtchooser/qt5.conf, should work properly for the Octave configure
because it will end up looking for qt5 version via

qtchooser -run-tool=XYZ -qt=qt5

in the Makefile.  Is that correct Mike?
