Build is broken

[mxsrc]

When cloning the repository and running qmake I get only this output:

Tip: Run qmake HELP=1 for a list of all supported build options

[attente]

I think that's only an informational message; after running qmake, the project still generates a Makefile in the top-level directory which you can build the project with by just calling 'make'.

[mxsrc]

Oh, you're right. My bad.

[mxsrc]

I still have issues getting it to build properly. When I use something like PREFIX=$HOME/somewhere
I get errors while running make install, apparently some headers are tried to copy to /usr/include and when I circumvent that by manually setting the include dir it tries to copy to /usr/share/qt/mkspecs.
Is this intended?

[jpetersen]

It tries to install some stuff into Qt plugin and Qt mkspecs directories. Because that is where Qt/qmake will look for them. But yes for development another solution would be better.

I found that setting CONFIG+=local-install in the qmake command line prevented it from installing outside of the PREFIX, for me at least.

[jpetersen]

Ah yes we have that option for that purpose.

[mxsrc]

Ah nice, now it is working for me. I must say though that I find it weird that the prefix is not by default enforced for all files.
