Bug ID: 404486
Summary: kdesrc-build should consider adjusting PATH to find
tools in qtdir
Product: kdesrc-build
Version: Git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mp...@kde.org
Reporter: jm.ouwerk...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When building Qt 5 from source using kdesrc-build the generated tools end up in
${qtdir}/bin This is unlikely to be on the PATH, which makes it hard to compile
KF5 & apps with tools you just built from source.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On a fresh system without Qt set up kdesrc-build (so there won't be a qmake)
2. Make sure to include kf5-qt5-build-include and qt5-build-include
3. Build Qt 5 locally with kdesrc-build qt5
4. Run kdesrc-build with for example the following options:
--include-dependencies kate
OBSERVED RESULT
```
Unable to find qmake. This program is absolutely essential for building
the modules: kded kcmutils kate kemoticons kactivities kiconthemes ktextwidgets

Please ensure the development packages for
Qt are installed by using your distribution's package manager.
```
EXPECTED RESULT
kdesrc-build picks up locally built Qt tools from qtdir and does not bail.
