I pushed a fix to the warning message on the stable branch

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/91671d57817e

Thanks for the bug report and the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback.

The issue would be resolved for me if the warning message was updated to:


warn_qt_tools="one or more of the Qt utility programs moc, uic, rcc, lrelease, qcollectiongenerator, and qhelpgenerator not found; disabling Qt GUI"

It might be possible, but the logical conditions are already pretty complicated as it is. It is easiest to treat Qt as a discrete unit, and if any part of it is missing, then the whole is missing.

The warning message can be updated to be more accurate.

Currently, configure contains:


    if test -z "$MOC" || test -z "$UIC" || test -z "$RCC" || test -z "$LRELEASE" || test -z "$QCOLLECTIONGENERATOR" || test -z "$QHELPGENERATOR"; then
      warn_qt_tools="one or more of the Qt utility programs moc, uic, rcc, and lrelease not found; disabling Qt GUI"
      build_qt_gui=no


This can be misleading as the Qt GUI is disabled but the warning message does not list all the files that can be missing (in my case qcollectiongenerator and qhelpgenerator from the libqt5-qttools package).

Also, would it be possible to have the Qt GUI built without its help module if qcollectiongenerator and qhelpgenerator are missing?
