Usage: configure [options] [-- cmake-options]
This is a convenience script for configuring Qt with CMake.
Options after the double dash are directly passed to CMake.
Top-level installation directories:
-prefix <dir> ...... The deployment directory, as seen on the target device.
[/usr/local/Qt-$QT_VERSION; qtbase build directory if
-developer-build]
-no-prefix ......... The deployment directory is set to the qtbase build
directory. Can be used instead of -developer-build
to not have to install, as well as avoid
-developer-build's default of -warnings-are-errors.
-extprefix <dir> ... The installation directory, as seen on the host machine.
[SYSROOT/PREFIX]
Fine tuning of installation directory layout. Note that all directories
except -sysconfdir should be located under -prefix:
-bindir <dir> ......... Executables [PREFIX/bin]
-headerdir <dir> ...... Header files [PREFIX/include]
-libdir <dir> ......... Libraries [PREFIX/lib]
-archdatadir <dir> .... Arch-dependent data [PREFIX]
-plugindir <dir> ...... Plugins [ARCHDATADIR/plugins]
-libexecdir <dir> ..... Helper programs [ARCHDATADIR/bin on Windows,
ARCHDATADIR/libexec otherwise]
-qmldir <dir> ......... QML imports [ARCHDATADIR/qml]
-datadir <dir> ........ Arch-independent data [PREFIX]
-docdir <dir> ......... Documentation [DATADIR/doc]
-translationdir <dir> . Translations [DATADIR/translations]
-sysconfdir <dir> ..... Settings used by Qt programs [PREFIX/etc/xdg]
-examplesdir <dir> .... Examples [PREFIX/examples]
-testsdir <dir> ....... Tests [PREFIX/tests]
-hostdatadir <dir> .... Data used by qmake [PREFIX]
Conventions for the remaining options: When an option's description is
followed by a list of values in brackets, the interpretation is as follows:
'yes' represents the bare option; all other values are possible prefixes to
the option, e.g., -no-gui. Alternatively, the value can be assigned, e.g.,
--gui=yes. Values are listed in the order they are tried if not specified;
'auto' is a shorthand for 'yes/no'. Solitary 'yes' and 'no' represent binary
options without auto-detection.
Configure meta:
-help, -h ............ Display this help screen
-redo ................ Re-configure with previously used options. In addition,
redo removes CMakeCache.txt file and CMakeFiles/ directory
and recreates them from scratch.
Additional options may be passed, but will not be
saved for later use by -redo.
-feature-<feature> ... Enable <feature>
-no-feature-<feature> Disable <feature> [none]
-list-features ....... List available features. Note that some features
have dedicated command line options as well.
Build options:
-cmake-generator <name> ... Explicitly specify the build system generator for
CMake instead of auto-detecting one.
-cmake-use-default-generator ... Turn off auto-detection of the CMake build
system generator.
-cmake-file-api ...... Let CMake store build metadata for loading the build
into an IDE. [no; yes if -developer-build]

[auto] (Not supported with MSVC or Clang toolchains)
-optimize-size ....... Optimize release builds for size instead of speed [no]
-force-debug-info .... Create symbol files for release builds [no]
-separate-debug-info . Split off debug information to separate files [no]
-gdb-index ........... Index the debug info to speed up GDB
[no; auto if -developer-build with debug info]
-gc-binaries ......... Place each function or data item into its own section
and enable linker garbage collection of unused
sections. [auto for static builds, otherwise no]

Instrument with the specified compiler sanitizer.
Note that some sanitizers cannot be combined;
for example, -sanitize address cannot be combined with
-sanitize thread.

-qreal <type> ........ typedef qreal to the specified type. [double]
Note: this affects binary compatibility.
-R <string> .......... Add an explicit runtime library path to the Qt
libraries. Supports paths relative to LIBDIR.
-rpath ............... Link Qt libraries and executables using the library
install path as a runtime library path. Similar to
-R LIBDIR. On Apple platforms, disabling this implies

<version> is a hex value, for example 0x060500 can be
used to remove all code deprecated in Qt 6.5.0 or
earlier releases.
By default <version> is set to 0x040000 and 0x050000 on
Windows, and non-Windows respectively.
