What do you think of (trying to) change this? One possible downside I see is that cmake ports that previously didn't pick up Qt will pick it up automatically but that can be fixed. Looking at the names of the cmake files, I don't think they will collide with either Qt 4 or Qt 6. I checked some other OSes (Arch Linux, Ubuntu, FreeBSD) and they install the cmake files in lib/cmake. > The Qt5 module handles all the mgaic for the ports. > > > > > The reason I'm asking is that if I'm building a Qt5/cmake project > > outside the ports tree, I have to manually add something like > > set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH /usr/local/lib/qt5/cmake) > > to the project's CMakeLists.txt file because otherwise cmake won't find > > Qt5's cmake files.
