NAME¶
qtchooser - a wrapper used to select between Qt development binary versionsSYNOPSIS¶
qtchooser -list-versionsDESCRIPTION¶
Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality. The Qt Chooser provides a wrapper to switch between versions of Qt development binaries when multiple versions like 4 and 5 are installed or local Qt builds are to be used. It is commonly used via a symlink from an executable_name like qmake.OPTIONS¶
The options which apply to the qtchooser command are: -list-versionsLists available Qt versions from the configuration
files
-print-env
Prints environment information
-qt=version
Selects version as the Qt version to be used
-run-tool=tool
Runs the selected tool.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- QTCHOOSER_NO_GLOBAL_DIR
- If qtchooser has been built with QTCHOOSER_GLOBAL_DIR (predefined search paths for qtchooser's configuration files, useful in some distros), setting this variable will override its effect.
- QT_SELECT
- Same as -qt=version. If set, the selected configuration is used and binaries symlinked to qtchooser will be executed without additional parameters.
- XDG_CONFIG_HOME
- XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
- Used as specified in < http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>
FILES¶
- /etc/xdg/qtchooser/*.conf
- System-wide configuration files. Each has two lines, the first is the path to the binaries and the second is the path to the Qt libraries. If a default.conf is provided, the settings from it will be automatically used in case nothing else is selected.
- $HOME/.config/qtchooser/*.conf
- User configuration files.
