The following table describes the mapping of configure options to CMake arguments.

configure cmake Notes
-prefix /opt/qt6 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/qta6
-no-prefix (only available in Qt6) -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD (with bash) In Qt5 this was done by specifying -prefix $PWD
or -DFEATURE_no_prefix=ON
-extprefix /opt/qt6 -DCMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX=/opt/qt6
-bindir -DINSTALL_BINDIR= similar for -headerdir -libdir and so on
-hostdatadir -DINSTALL_MKSPECSDIR=
-help n/a Handled by configure[.bat].
-verbose --log-level=STATUS Sets the CMake log level to STATUS. The default one is NOTICE.
-continue
-redo n/a Handled by configure[.bat].
-recheck [test,...]
-feature-foo -DFEATURE_foo=ON
-no-feature-foo -DFEATURE_foo=OFF
-list-features At the moment: configure with cmake once,
then use ccmake or cmake-gui to inspect the features.
-opensource n/a
-commercial n/a
-confirm-license n/a
-release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-debug -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

-optimize-debug -DFEATURE_optimize_debug=ON
-optimize-size -DFEATURE_optimize_size=ON
-optimized-tools n/a This affects only host tools.
-force-debug-info Use the RelWithDebInfo build config.
-separate-debug-info -DFEATURE_separate_debug_info=ON
-gdb-index -DFEATURE_enable_gdb_index=ON
-strip cmake --install . --strip This affects the install targets generated by qmake.

If passed 'macx-ios-clang', will configure an iOS build.
-device equivalent to -xplatform devices/
-device-option <key=value> -DQT_QMAKE_DEVICE_OPTIONS=key1=value1;key2=value2 Only used for generation qmake-compatibility files.
The device options are written into mkspecs/qdevice.pri.

-make -DQT_BUILD_TESTS=ON A way to turn on tools explicitly is missing. If tests/examples
-DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON are enabled, you can disable their building as part of the
'all' target by also passing -DQT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT=OFF or
-DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES_BY_DEFAULT=OFF. Note that if you entirely
disable tests/examples at configure time (by using
-DQT_BUILD_TESTS=OFF or -DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF) you can't then
build them separately, after configuration.
