[QBS] QBS not compiling with our compiled Qt version

[olivier musse]

Hi Christian,

I'm asking again your help on this point.
Finally the response on bug

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-42959

says that we must not run an install on a Qt compiled without a prefix (which is the default on windows).

So if we just configure and compile Qt with default settings (so don't install) we can not used the compiled version of Qt with QBS.

Perhaps there is something to do on that with qbs.

Regards


Olivier
