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
26 The options which apply to the qtchooser command are:
27
28 -list-versions
29 Lists available Qt versions from the configuration files
30
31 -print-env
32 Prints environment information
33
34 -qt=version
35 Selects version as the Qt version to be used
36
37 -run-tool=tool
38 Runs the selected tool.
39
41 QT_SELECT
42 Same as -qt=version. If set, the selected configuration is used
43 and binaries symlinked to qtchooser will be executed without ad‐
44 ditional parameters.
45
46 XDG_CONFIG_HOME
47
48 XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
49 Used as specified in <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-
50 spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>
51
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.
58
59 $HOME/.config/qtchooser/*.conf
60 User configuration files.
