qmake and prefixes

Hey all,

I've been asking myself the following question, sometimes when compiling qt based software I have to use qmake to create a makefile. In the *.pro files there are things like the prefixes etc, but how can I make it so that I can create packages with an alternative path than what the *.pro file states.

For now I make a diff or do a file/search replace job on the *.pro file, but I'm sure there must be an easier way.

Re: qmake and prefixes

Yes that´s an interesting question. I´d also need to know this.

So far I´ve only found one PKGBUILD for mythtv. But that way won´t work for klear. Whether the --extrapath=/opt/kde/include nor the prefix is taken. Hm.

Re: qmake and prefixes

read the make file it should list variable for the destination e.g BINDIR
LIBDIR and various others, take a look at the twind PKGBUILD in the aur..

you can specify it on the install line e.g

make BINDIR=$startdir/pkg/usr/bin LIBDIR=$startdir/pkg/usr/lib install
