[Development] Relocating a Qt compilation

[Eric Lemanisser]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a Qt package for conan, and the fact that qt files
have absolute path hard-coded in them is problematic. The use case is the
following : a user downloads a binary distribution of Qt
(qmake+moc+include+libs etc.), which is then stored in a directory which
cannot be known when compiling said distribution.
MaintenanceTool does the exact same job of downloading existing binaries
and storing them in directory chosen by the user, so it has to patch the
files. Are MaintenceTool's sources available, or at least the patching
process ? There used to be a small tool (qpatch? qtpatch?) doing that, but
I cannot find it

Thanks!

Eric
