NAME

       qtchooser - a wrapper used to select between Qt development binary versions

SYNOPSIS

       qtchooser -list-versions
       qtchooser -print-env [-qt=version]
       qtchooser -run-tool=tool [-qt=version] [program_arguments]
       <executable_name> [-qt=version] [program_arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       Qt  is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature is its rich set of
       widgets that provide standard GUI functionality.

       The Qt Chooser provides a wrapper to switch between versions of  Qt  development  binaries
       when multiple versions like 4 and 5 are installed or local Qt builds are to be used.

       It is commonly used via a symlink from an executable_name like qmake.

OPTIONS

       The options which apply to the qtchooser command are:

       -list-versions
           Lists available Qt versions from the configuration files

       -print-env
           Prints environment information

       -qt=version
           Selects version as the Qt version to be used

       -run-tool=tool
           Runs the selected tool.

ENVIRONMENT

       QTCHOOSER_NO_GLOBAL_DIR
              If  qtchooser has been built with QTCHOOSER_GLOBAL_DIR (predefined search paths for
              qtchooser's configuration files, useful in some  distros),  setting  this  variable
              will override its effect.

       QT_SELECT
              Same  as  -qt=version.  If  set,  the  selected  configuration is used and binaries
              symlinked to qtchooser will be executed without additional parameters.

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME

       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
              Used as specified  in  <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-
              latest.html>

FILES

       /etc/xdg/qtchooser/*.conf
              System-wide  configuration  files. Each has two lines, the first is the path to the
              binaries and the second is the path to the  Qt  libraries.  If  a  default.conf  is
              provided,  the  settings from it will be automatically used in case nothing else is
              selected.

       $HOME/.config/qtchooser/*.conf
              User configuration files.
