This will allow us to expose private headers in a controlled manner,
and ensure that they are not used by accident. This also means that
we internally will have to enable the private headers for the
modules we wish to use in the project.
When building Qt, qmake should not pull in mkspecs from an installed
version, as this will lead to incorrect paths for the current build.
So, here we ensure only to pull in modules from there we detected the
qconfig.pri, and ensure we still handle the QMAKEPATH case used by
some.
Since modules cannot rely on QtCore having a build directory, nor
can they build the applications directly into $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]
each module needs their own bin/. Add this path to each module's
pri file, so others can use their applications
This is needed so that header files which contain references to those
modules (for example in templates) will have their include paths as
well.
RevBy: axis
The module specific pris define the modules
name
version
dependencies
include paths
lib paths
additional CONFIGs and DEFINES
They are located in the modules source directory, with fwd
includes created in QtBase/mkspecs/modules build directory.
The pris use
QT_MODULE_INCLUDE_BASE
QT_MODULE_LIB_BASE
to specify the locations for includes and libs. These paths
are normally based on
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS
QT_INSTALL_LIBS
for installed modules, but overridden to the module's build
directory by syncqt for the fwd included pris.
The path of the pris must be specified in the sync.profile
for syncqt to create the fwding pris in QtBase.
This will normally only happen for top-level pro files,
and syncqt is smart enough to not touch already existing
files. And in edition, syncqt uses the original file's
timestamp on the fwding files.
This is the beginning of revision history for this module. If you
want to look at revision history older than this, please refer to the
Qt Git wiki for how to use Git history grafting. At the time of
writing, this wiki is located here:

If you have already performed the grafting and you don't see any
history beyond this commit, try running "git log" with the "--follow"
argument.
