qt5 build system

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

Hi,

does anyone have an idea why qt5 build system thinks we are not using gcc?

Example when trying to build qt5-qtwebengine.spec from master:


Qt WebEngine on Linux requires clang or GCC.
QtWebEngine will not be built.

That build system just plain sucks.

It takes it from /usr/lib/qt5/mkspecs/common/g++-base.conf : QMAKE_COMPILER
We have it set to <arch>-pld-linux-gcc and that dumb QtWebEngine wants
'gcc' there. I'd just remove that stupid check in QtWebEngine.
