DESCRIPTION

16       Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary  feature
17       is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality.
18
19       The  Qt Chooser provides a wrapper to switch between versions of Qt de‐
20       velopment binaries when multiple versions like 4 and 5 are installed or
21       local Qt builds are to be used.
22
23       It is commonly used via a symlink from an executable_name like qmake.
24

42              Same  as -qt=version. If set, the selected configuration is used

FILES

53       /etc/xdg/qtchooser/*.conf
54              System-wide configuration files. Each has two lines,  the  first
55              is the path to the binaries and the second is the path to the Qt
56              libraries. If a default.conf is provided, the settings  from  it
57              will be automatically used in case nothing else is selected.
