Yup, but then it needs the suffix so that two builds of Qt 6 (or later one of Qt 7) can be installed in parallel and the user/developer can select which one it is. > qt-cmake-standalone-tests and qt-configure-module are supposed to be > called by Qt developers.

Should we maybe have a "distro build" where those scripts are > not installed? Makes sense, but I'd argue for opt-in to having them, instead of opt-out of excluding them. We Qt developers would know about that option. And can that option simply be -developer-build? For any of us who may need a non-developer-build to test or build against, replacing those scripts is simple, if inconvenient. They just call qt-cmake with a few extra options. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Cloud Software Architect - Intel DCAI Cloud Engineering _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
