This lookup happens by searching for \c qmake executables in the \c PATH + environment variable. Alternatively, you can explicitly tell \QBS which Qt + installations it should consider by setting the \c Qt.qmakeFilePaths + \l{Parameterizing Module Providers}{module provider property}. In that case, + the environment will be ignored. For instance, with the following Linux command line, + \QBS will build the project against a custom Qt instead of the standard one in \c{/usr/bin}: + \code + $ qbs moduleProviders.Qt.qmakeFilePaths:/opt/myqt/bin/qmake + \endcode + You can also set the module provider property in a profile.
