Summary0013827: UseQt4.cmake should add link_directories command
DescriptionUseQt4.cmake contains a
   include_directories(${QT_INCLUDE_DIR})
command for the include directories.

It should contain a similar command
  link_directories(${QT_LIBRARY_DIR})
for the lib directory.

This would complete the setup of Qt4 in my environment, where it wasn't installed in the standard install prefix.

This is almost certainly totally wrong. If you use target_link_libraries as in the example at the to of FindQt4 documentation you get absolute paths to those libraries. If not, that is the bug. But link_directories is in almost all cases the wrong answer (see it's documentation).

Eike is right.
How about closing this ticket ?

I agree. There's no way we'll take a step backwards and use linnk_directories().
Martin, if you still have problems using a Qt from non-standard locations, I suggest going to the mailing list first.
