Unless you are building an O/S packaging system package (eg .deb or .rpm), you 
should *not* install locally build software with the /usr prefix.

No.  To use your locally built Qt 5.x, you will need to make sure 
/usr/local/ is known to your build environment (path, compiler, 
linker, etc.).  (Generally, this should normally be set up by default, but it 
can't hurt to check.)

[Interest] Qt 5.x configure line prefix

2020-06-28 Thread Ramakanth Kesireddy
Hi,

Can anyone let me know if it is recommended to use -prefix /usr or the
default in the configure line where it gets installed in /usr/local/Qt5.x?

As the font algorithm using font config checks the available fonts in
/usr/lib/fonts, does it makes sense to configure Qt 5.x with prefix /usr?

Thanks and Regards,
Ramakanth
