Searches common directories for Qt include files, libraries and Qt
binary utilities. The macro supports several different versions of
the Qt framework being installed on the same machine. Without
options, the macro is designed to look for the latest library,
i.e., the highest definition of QT_VERSION in qglobal.h. By use of
one or more options a different library may be selected. There are
two different sets of options. Both sets contain the option
--with-Qt-lib=LIB which can be used to force the use of a
particular version of the library file when more than one are
available. LIB must be in the form as it would appear behind the
"-l" option to the compiler. Examples for LIB would be "qt-mt" for
the multi-threaded version and "qt" for the regular version. In
addition to this, the first set consists of an option
--with-Qt-dir=DIR which can be used when the installation conforms
to Trolltech's standard installation, which means that header files
are in DIR/include, binary utilities are in DIR/bin and the library
is in DIR/lib. The second set of options can be used to indicate
individual locations for the header files, the binary utilities and
the library file, in addition to the specific version of the
library file.
The following shell variable is set to either "yes" or "no":
have_qt
Additionally, the following variables are exported:
QT_CXXFLAGS
QT_LIBS
QT_MOC
QT_UIC
QT_DIR
which respectively contain an "-I" flag pointing to the Qt include
directory (and "-DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT" when LIB is "qt-mt"), link
flags necessary to link with Qt and X, the name of the meta object
compiler and the user interface compiler both with full path, and
finaly the variable QTDIR as Trolltech likes to see it defined (if
possible).
Example lines for Makefile.in:
CXXFLAGS = @QT_CXXFLAGS@
MOC = @QT_MOC@
After the variables have been set, a trial compile and link is
performed to check the correct functioning of the meta object
compiler. This test may fail when the different detected elements
stem from different releases of the Qt framework. In that case, an
error message is emitted and configure stops.
No common variables such as $LIBS or $CFLAGS are polluted.
Options:
--with-Qt-dir=DIR: DIR is equal to $QTDIR if you have followed the
installation instructions of Trolltech. Header files are in
DIR/include, binary utilities are in DIR/bin and the library is in
DIR/lib.
--with-Qt-include-dir=DIR: Qt header files are in DIR.
--with-Qt-bin-dir=DIR: Qt utilities such as moc and uic are in DIR.
--with-Qt-lib-dir=DIR: The Qt library is in DIR.
--with-Qt-lib=LIB: Use -lLIB to link with the Qt library.
If some option "=no" or, equivalently, a --without-Qt-* version is
given in stead of a --with-Qt-*, "have_qt" is set to "no" and the
other variables are set to the empty string.

dnl THANKS! This code includes bug fixes and contributions made by:
dnl Tim McClarren,
dnl Dennis R. Weilert,
dnl Qingning Huo,
dnl Brian Mingus,
dnl Jens Hannemann,
dnl Pavel Roskin,
dnl Scott J. Bertin.
dnl ChangeLog
dnl 2006-03-12 * Hide output of ls and fix an m4 quoting problem (due to Scott J. Bertin).
dnl 2006-02-13 * Check compiler return value instead of parsing the error stream,
dnl which detected warnings as false negatives (due to Jens Hannemann).
dnl 2006-02-02 * Spelling of "Success".
dnl * Fixed unsave test for $bnv_qt_lib without quotes.
dnl * Put dnl in front of all comments.
dnl * Changed -l$bnv_qt_lib_dir into -L$bnv_qt_lib_dir (all due to Pavel Roskin).
dnl 2006-01-19 * Support for 64bit architectures.
dnl * Updated documentation.
dnl 2006-01-18: * Fix "cat: bnv_qt_test.c: No such file or directory" (due to Jens Hannemann).
dnl * Hide output of failing ls.
dnl 2006-01-11: * Check in /Developer on Mac OS X; Check in $QTDIR (due to Brian Mingus).
dnl Calls BNV_PATH_QT_DIRECT (contained in this file) as a subroutine.
