QMAKE_QMAKE with symbolic link to qmake

I need to get path of folder with my qt in pro file. I used QMAKE_QMAKE and everything worked.

But now I created a symbolic link to qmake in ~/.local/bin to make it easier to call qmake.


qmake-linux -> /home/andrei/Qt/Qt-v5.13.0/Linux/bin/qmake*

And now I ran into the problem that qmake, launched by a symbolic link, contains in the variable QMAKE_QMAKE not the path to the executable file, but the path to the symbolic link.

Info: creating stash file /home/andrei/worker/githubworker/github-worker/build/.qmake.stash
Project MESSAGE: QT_DIR = /home/andrei/.local/bin

Maybe it is important: I build qt from sources.

Maybe there are ways to get qmake paths or folders with qt?

The directory where the qmake executable is located can be retrieved with $$[QT_HOST_BINS]. This is a qmake property.

Call qmake -query to see a list of available properties.
