I can confirm the build issue is fixed for me with Qt 4.6.2, both stable and dev.

I can at least confirm that the build still works with Qt 5.9. And that the intermediate files do have relative file names only.

The Qt Help files are now generated with Perl rather than Python.  I made an additional change to generate the qhcp file using basenames rather than full absolute names which should fix this bug (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/23b5c0678051).

Marking as Ready for Test.

This appears to have been fixed in Qt 4.7 and later versions.

Octave currently has a minimum requirement on Qt 4.6, but we are encouraging everyone to build Octave with Qt 5 as long as your operating system provides it.

It might be safe to make this change to how we generate the qhcp file, it will have to be tested with multiple Qt versions to make sure they all handle the relative paths correctly.

With both dev and stable the build ends prematurely with this error message:


The input file /scratch/aburgers/octave/x86_64_stable/doc/interpreter//scratch/aburgers/octave/x86_64_stable/doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhp could not be opened!


This message is generated by qcollectiongenerator (from qt 4.6.2)


qcollectiongenerator doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp -o doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc >/dev/null


It does generate the .qhc file (in the doc/interpreter subdir) when I manually edit the .qhcp file to replace full absolute path names with just file names.
