Details:

Qt 5.12 has made a change which requires a change to the build process


In addition, we have done some cleanups in version 5.12. We got rid of an
ancient porting tool called qhelpconverter. We have merged the
qcollectiongenerator tool into the qhelpgenerator, which now accepts both .qhp
and .qhcp files as input and generates .qch and .qhc files, respectively.


My impression is that this can be handled by setting up the environment
property. For example,


QCOLLECTIONGENERATOR=qhelpgenerator


However, when I tried to validate the approach, using qt 5.12.0, it failed
with


Build Octave Qt GUI:                  no (missing:qcollectiongenerator)
 JIT compiler for loops:               no
 Build Java interface:                 yes
 Build static libraries:               no
 Build shared libraries:               yes
 Dynamic Linking API:                  dlopen
 Include support for GNU readline:     yes
 64-bit array dims and indexing:       yes
 64-bit BLAS array dims and indexing:  no
 OpenMP SMP multithreading:            no
 Truncate intermediate FP results:     yes
 Build cross tools:                    no
 Build docs:                           yes

configure: WARNING: Your installation of Qt version 5 appears incomplete or
broken in some way.  Fix that or use --with-qt=VER to use another version.
configure: WARNING: one or more of the Qt utilities moc, uic, rcc, lrelease,
qcollectiongenerator, and qhelpgenerator not found; disabling Qt GUI
configure: 
configure: NOTE: Libraries or auxiliary programs may be skipped if they are
not found
configure: NOTE: OR if they are missing required features on your system.


which is the same result I obtained without setting QCOLLECTIONGENERATOR
