[Qt-creator] Qt Installation Directory Problems

[Victor Sardina]

Fellows:

Today I tried to compile the latest Qt sources (master branch).
Everything appears to work as usual, except that the installer insists
on placing several executables under Qt-4.6.1/bin instead of
Qt-4.7.0/bin. This happens even if you pass "-prefix
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.0" explicitly. This turns annoying simply
because the operation might have overwritten several executables
(including the moc et al.) that I had as my working Qt installation
prior to the latest compilation. I appear to have succeeded in going
around it by copying all those executables over to the "Qt-4.7.0/bin"
directory by hand (creation date check reveals them right away).

This indicates that something needs updating in the configure scripts
down the chain. That something appears to have slipped through the
cracks(?).

Although not strictly related to QtCreator, I believe it turns relevant
if we consider that we need one of the latest Qt installed in order to
successfully compile QtCreator itself.

I hope this report turns useful.

Greeting,
Victor
