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.
