Bug#887849: "qmake: could not find a Qt installation of ''" when QT_SELECT is unset
Package: qtchooser
Version: 64-ga1b6736-5
File: /usr/bin/qmake
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:transmission
transmission fails to cross build from source. It runs qmake via
dh_auto_configure and is greeted with:
qmake: could not find a Qt installation of ''
A native build works. It doesn't export QT_SELECT, but after exporting
QT_SELECT=qt5 the qmake invocation succeeds. Thus I think this is a bug
in qtchooser. For native builds it defaults to qt5, but for cross builds
it doesn't. I have no clue why and simply hand this over to Dmitry and
Lisandro who have done an awful lot of work to make qt cross build
friendly. I hope you can figure out what is broken here.
