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

[Stefan Husmann]

Follow-up Comment #28, bug #55187 (project octave):

The configure varable you suggested works for me, and now the eps files, e.g.
plot.eps plot3.eps and so on, are created.

AFAICS the Makefile.am only distincts between Qt's major versions, and now
needs to distinct between major version 5 and 4, and if it is 5 check for
minor version <12 and >=12, and in the latter case set
QCOLLECTIONGENERATOR=QTHELPGENERATOR. I am not very firm in m4 and do not know
how the syntax should be here.

Btw. running qhelpgenerator without argument on the command line gives out


Missing input file name.


Usage:

qhelpgenerator <file> [options]

  -o <output-file>       Generates a Qt compressed help
                         called <output-file> (*.qch) for the
                         Qt help project <file> (*.qhp).
                         Generates a Qt help collection
                         called <output-file> (*.qhc) for the
                         Qt help collection project <file>(*.qhcp).
                         If this option is not specified
                         a default name will be used
                         (*.qch for *.qhp and *.qhc for *.qhcp).
  -c                     Checks whether all links in HTML files
                         point to files in this help project.
  -s                     Suppresses status messages.
  -v                     Displays the version of
                         qhelpgenerator.
