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

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #35, bug #55187 (project octave):

Right. The current build uses the qcollectiongenerator tool to build the
compressed help that is used in the Octave GUI itself. It also uses the
qhelpgenerator tool in Doxyfile to build a compressed help format of the API
docs with the optional 'make doxyhtml' target.

With Qt 5.12 the qhelpgenerator tool will serve both of those purposes.

Maybe we can create a small simple input file in the configure script that we
can feed to qhelpgenerator to see if it can process it or not. If not, we need
qcollectiongenerator. If yes, then we can use qhelpgenerator.
