[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55187] build: fails to work with Qt 5.12, qcollectiongenerator no longer exists

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #27, bug #55187 (project octave):

According to the docs the new tool is compatible with qcollectiongenerator,
the page https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qthelp-framework.html shows this example

> qhelpgenerator mycollection.qhcp -o mycollection.qhc

So it should be possible for you to build by setting QCOLLECTIONGENERATOR to
qhelpgenerator-qt5.

If you can confirm that, can you also help update the configuration logic to
work with this change? Is there a way for configure to detect the difference
between the two cases "this system needs qcollectiongenerator but it's
missing" and "this system should use qhelpgenerator instead of
qcollectiongenerator"?
