Hi,

I've updated to latest master and faced with configuration error
"checking for QT... no
configure: error: Requested 'Qt5Core >= 5.11.0' but version of Qt5 Core is 5.9.5"

Then I've installed latest Qt (5.12) to some folder, but failed to configure with command:
"./configure CFLAGS="-g -O0" CXXFLAGS="-g -O0" --disable-optimizations --enable-debug QT_LIBS=/path/to/Qt/5.12.2/gcc_64/lib QT5_X11_LIBS=/path/to/Qt/5.12.2/gcc_64/lib"
Result is the same:
"checking for QT... no
configure: error: Requested 'Qt5Core >= 5.11.0' but version of Qt5 Core is 5.9.5"

So, what is the correct way to ./configure vlc with specific Qt folder ?

Use the contribs, to build Qt5

Hi,

to build vlc with an external Qt installation you can use something like

../configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/pierre/Qt/5.11.3/gcc_64/lib/pkgconfig

PKG_CONFIG_PATH works well. Thanks.

Btw, how to "Use the contribs, to build Qt5" ?

cd contribs; mkdir build; cd build; ../bootstrap
