Message 1 in thread
Hi All ;-) ,
I've created a tiny portable distro of eclipse/MinGW, it's working well
to me, but when I've added Qt/open source, I faced two problems with paths:
_*Problem/1/:*_
Every-time I change eclipse path I need to re-install, or re-compile Qt,
because Qt didn't work with new path, for example:
If I installed Qt at C:/Qt/4.3.3, and then moved this folder to
F:/Qt/4.3.3, Qt wouldn't compile any project, till I re-move it to the
original install path.
_*Problem/2/:*_
For Qt- eclipse integration I couldn't change plug-in paths to the new one.
Could you help me, please :'( ?

Unfortunately, when you build (or install) Qt, the path is integrated in.
You must re-install to move it to a new location.
Hopefully, they will fix this design flaw in the near future. Paths should
be relative to qmake, not absolute, and qmake should determine where is is
when it is run, not have it hard-coded in.

Do you know when they'll fix this design flaw?
I've created this
<http://hali-sy.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/hali-sy/release/qt-c%2B%2B.zip?revision=6>distro
for Qt (it's a full C/C++/Qt IDE like VS.net) as a test, but it can be
install at C driver only, you can test it.

Have you tried adding a qt.conf file? With the qt.conf file you can set the QT prefix the application uses.

No I didn't try it, and I don't know anything about it.
Do you mean mkspecs\win32-g++\qmake.conf ? if yes can you give me the
string must be add to control path?

It always surprises me that people don't at least type the words in the index
search field in assistant. It would have answered the "what's qt.conf?"
question immediately.

Thanks Chris,
I can't use qt.conf cuz it must provide in each Qt project, this is not
practical solution.
All what I need is a way for using relative path to qmake not absolute!
