Well, by build with submodule tarballs [1], Qt5 will split into various
packages:
qtbase, qtsvg, qtx11extras, etc.
The current monolithic qt package will be deprecated.
It seems that some hacks are needed, basically:
- when build:
Make a 'qt.conf' and union the releated 'lib' and 'mkspecs' for
qmake. Should do in 'qmake-build-system'.
FYI: nixpkgs's recipes [2] and qmake reference [3].
- when run:
Set 'QT_PLUGIN_PATH' and other variables with wrapper and/or
profile envs.
And I believe this have to be done if we want to package KDE5,
since KF5 is a set of plugins for Qt.
