I noticed the following when compiling a qt5-based application. qt5-qtbase-devel provides both /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 and /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qmake. These are both the same file, but because they are located in different directories, they behave differently (or rather one works, the other doesn't). It seems that the binary uses dirname to locate where the rest of qt5-related files are located. This is apparent when I run qmake-qt5 in debug-mode (-d): DEBUG 1: visiting file /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt_config.prf DEBUG 1: /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt_config.prf: entering block DEBUG 1: /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt_config.prf:4: QMAKE_QT_CONFIG := /usr/bin/mkspecs/qconfig.pri DEBUG 1: /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt_config.prf:5: NOT DEBUG 1: /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt_config.prf:5: evaluating test function "exists" DEBUG 1: /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt_config.prf:5: calling built-in exists(/usr/bin/mkspecs/qconfig.pri) DEBUG 1: /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt_config.prf:5: test function returned false .... DEBUG 1: /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt_config.prf:6: calling built-in debug(1, "Cannot load qconfig.pri!") DEBUG 1: Project DEBUG: Cannot load qconfig.pri! As a result, the execution fails, as it does not find any components: $ qmake-qt5/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qmake Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: core gui network svg printsupport concurrent webkitwidgets webkit If, however I run the /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/qmake (which is used by the other qt5-* packages), the base directory is correct, and the qmake exits succesfully.
