qt5base-lts/cmake/QtFinishPrlFile.cmake

# Finish a preliminary .prl file.
#
# - Replaces occurrences of the build libdir with $$[QT_INSTALL_LIBDIR].
# - Strips version number suffixes from absolute paths, because qmake's lflag
#   merging does not handle them correctly.
# - Transforms absolute library paths into link flags
#   aka from "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcups.so" to "-lcups"
# - Replaces Qt absolute framework paths into a combination of -F$$[QT_INSTALL_LIBS] and
#   -framework QtFoo
# - Prepends '-l' to values that are not absolute paths, and don't start with a dash
#   aka, '-lfoo', '-framework', '-pthread'.
#
# The path to the final .prl file is stored in the input file as assignment to FINAL_PRL_FILE_PATH.
#
# This file is to be used in CMake script mode with the following variables set:
# IN_FILE: path to the step 1 preliminary .prl file
# OUT_FILE: path to the step 2 preliminary .prl file that is going to be created
# QT_LIB_DIRS: list of paths where Qt libraries are located.
#              This includes the install prefix and the current repo build dir.
#              These paths get replaced with relocatable paths or linker / framework flags.
# LIBRARY_SUFFIXES: list of known library extensions, e.g. .so;.a on Linux
# LIBRARY_PREFIXES: list of known library prefies, e.g. the "lib" in "libz" on on Linux
# LINK_LIBRARY_FLAG: flag used to link a shared library to an executable, e.g. -l on UNIX
# IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES: list of implicit linker search paths
