For a single-use build, you don't need to do that. Everything that needs to be found at runtime which would use those hardcoded paths can also be overridden by environment variables (XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, QT_PLUGIN_PATH and QML2_IMPORT_PATH). -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
