QTCHOOSER(1) General Commands Manual QTCHOOSER(1)
NAME
qtchooser - a wrapper used to select between Qt development binary ver-
sions
SYNOPSIS
qtchooser -list-versions
qtchooser -print-env [-qt=version]
qtchooser -run-tool=tool [-qt=version] [program_arguments]
<executable_name> [-qt=version] [program_arguments]
DESCRIPTION
Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature
is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality.
The Qt Chooser provides a wrapper to switch between versions of Qt de-
velopment binaries when multiple versions like 4 and 5 are installed or
local Qt builds are to be used.
It is commonly used via a symlink from an executable_name like qmake.
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the qtchooser command are:
-list-versions
Lists available Qt versions from the configuration files
-print-env
Prints environment information
-qt=version
Selects version as the Qt version to be used
-run-tool=tool
Runs the selected tool.
ENVIRONMENT
QTCHOOSER_NO_GLOBAL_DIR
If qtchooser has been built with QTCHOOSER_GLOBAL_DIR (prede-
fined search paths for qtchooser's configuration files, useful
in some distros), setting this variable will override its ef-
fect.
QT_SELECT
Same as -qt=version. If set, the selected configuration is used
and binaries symlinked to qtchooser will be executed without ad-
ditional parameters.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
Used as specified in <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-
spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>
FILES
/etc/xdg/qtchooser/*.conf
System-wide configuration files. Each has two lines, the first
is the path to the binaries and the second is the path to the Qt
libraries. If a default.conf is provided, the settings from it
will be automatically used in case nothing else is selected.
$HOME/.config/qtchooser/*.conf
User configuration files.
