[Bug 727150] [NEW] qmake built in paths are incorrect

Tue Mar 1 13:02:15 UTC 2011

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qt4-dev-tools

The qmake tool has built in paths that it uses to determine the location of other qt tools, libs, spec files etc.
These paths are set at compile time when building qmake from the QT SDK.

The version of qmake provided for 64bit ubuntu 10.04, the qt4-qmake
package (or qt4-dev-tools) is unusable, as these built in paths are
incorrect.

For example, when dumping the built in paths with 'qmake -query', it reports:
QT_INSTALL_BINS:/usr/bin
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/usr/bin
QT_INSTALL_DATA:/usr/bin
QT_INSTALL_DOCS:/usr/bin/doc
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS:/usr/bin/include
QT_INSTALL_LIBS:/usr/bin/lib
QT_INSTALL_BINS:/usr/bin/bin
QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS:/usr/bin/../lib/p4v/qt4/plugins
QT_INSTALL_TRANSLATIONS:/usr/bin/../lib/p4v/P4VResources/translations
QT_INSTALL_CONFIGURATION:/usr/bin
QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES:/usr/bin
QT_INSTALL_DEMOS:/usr/bin
QMAKE_MKSPECS:/usr/bin/mkspecs
QMAKE_VERSION:2.01a
QT_VERSION:4.6.2

One obviously issue is the bin path pointing to /usr/bin/bin, and the
mkspecs path pointing to /usr/bin/mkspecs.

I think that when the QT SDK was built, the '-prefix' directory
specified in the configure script is incorrect, and does not match when
the uduntu package actually places the files.
