[cmake-developers] Qt 4 and 5 on the same system - qmake binary name priority

[Marcus D. Hanwell]

Hi,

I notice that Arch has already patched this, but CMake master as of
aa027af9 still finds /usr/bin/qmake when a /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 is
available. This bug is reported here,

http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13985

Is there any issue with changing the order so that if qmake-qt4 is
found that is used preferentially over qmake which it seems will tend
to be the Qt 5 qmake? Stephen mentions qtchooser but it isn't clear
how relevant that is to making the find module prefer a qt4 specific
suffix if one is found. I didn't look at the proposed patch that
closely, but would like to understand any constraints on changing the
binary name search order before proposing anything.

Thanks,

Marcus
