qt4 and qt5 side-by-side
Qt4 and Qt5 are currently not mutually exclusive. As I just found out,
they really are...
Qt4 installs qt.conf in $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin; if you use this with qt5's
qmake, qmake will spit out bogus configuration options. As soon as you commit one of the other qt5 packages, you'll start to get autobuilder failures (which are pretty hard to debug as I can testify :-).
For the time being, I propose to add a 'depends on !BR2_PACKAGE_QT' toBR2_PACKAGE_QT5. Ideally, QT should become a virtual package with choices between qt4 and qt5.
Regards,
Arnout

Fine with me. I don't think it's a reasonable use case to support both qt4 and qt5 in the same system in Buildroot, so I fully support the idea of adding the depends on !BR2_PACKAGE_QT.
Best regards,
Thomas
