[Scons-users] QtDir not found

[Philipp Kraus]

Hi @all,

and thanks a lot for Dirk's Mail. 
The Qt5 support seems to be working, but a little recommand information:

The QT5DIR environment variable should be initialize on the Ctor call eg
env = Environment(QT5DIR = "your Qt5 dir")

a call eg

env = Environment()
env.Replace(QT5DIR, "your Qt5 dir")

creates on my MinGW & Qt installation a Scons Stop Exception (Qt5 Dir 
not found)

Moc, Uic and compiling and clearing runs, but the include directories 
(CPPPATH) are
pointed to <qt5dir>/include and on the loaded modules also to 
<qt5dir>/include/QtWidget ....
so the Includes are redundant.
