[Qt-interest] qmake and absolute paths pointing to Qt build directory

[Alexander Kurz]

for me the approach with a qt.conf file in the bin directory of the QT build
seems to work like a charm.
It overrides the hardcoded paths in the binaries. (qmake -querey)

the qt.conf contains 2 lines:

[Paths]
Prefix=$(QTDIR)

well I introduced QTDIR env variable again but now the only thing I got to
do is change QTDIR, add its bin\ directory to path and I can build my
applications with any QT build for any platform regardless who or where it
was build in the first place...

Thank you for the hint.
Alex
