Currently qmake is preferred over qmake-qt4, but I do not know why. There is a check to avoid using qmake from Qt5 at least: FindQt4: Do not use qmake from Qt5, 2013-03-05 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=21123416 Originally qmake-qt4 was preferred over qmake: ENH: Add support for debian having both qt3 and qt4, 2006-02-28 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=2251970c (qmake-qt4 qmake) Then the order was reversed without much detail in the commit: ENH: -apply the patches by Clinton Stimpson, 2006-04-27 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=f59ad1aa (qmake qmake-qt4) The commit message mentions porting some changes from KDE's module, so perhaps history is there. Later they were flipped back and forth in one day: ENH: Clarify a doc string. Fixes #10358, 2010-03-17 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd0b37ea (qmake-qt4 qmake) Change to use FindX11.cmake. Should fix #9929, 2010-03-17 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=61ad5242 (qmake qmake-qt4) so that was likely an accident followed by a correction. I think there was discussion too but I also do not remember when or where. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
