[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57420] dev fails to compile with Qt4

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #57420 (project octave):

The configure script does check for the Qt tools.  If you specify a Qt
version, it tries to use qcollectiongenerator-qt4 (for example) but if that is
not found, it will also search for qcollectiongenerator.  If the qtchooser
program exists, it will also try to use that to select the proper version of
the tool.  I tried with Qt4 and Qt5 installed but without the Qt4 tools and I
see that qtchooser and qcollectiongenerator are both found.  But the build
fails because (I think) qtchooser tries to run the Qt4 version and it doesn't
exist.  Maybe we could fix this problem, but I'm not sure it is worth the
effort given that we are about to remove support for Qt4.  It is possible to
build with Qt4 properly installed.
