[Development] How to build and install only host_tools ?

[BogDan Vatră]

Hi,

   I think for cross compiling it needs headers and some libs as, at least on Linux, it doesn't build all tools which are needed for all supported platforms (e.g. androiddeployqt needed for android). My hunch is that these tools, somehow, are built during android build. 

Cheers,
BogDan.
