Since there are ports for multiple versions of qt, none of them should install commonly-named binaries or other files. Instead, [ticket:47294 there should be a qt_select port] to let you choose.

My Qt ports do provide the data required for qt_select, but I've also submitted qtchooser which I think is preferable to `port select`. That's a port that will install qmake (and moc and uic and a bunch of other utilities) as a symlink to qtchooser-mp, which is itself a wrapper utility that proxies for any number of declared Qt installations. The port will declare the Qt 4 and/or 5 versions provided by MacPorts, and allows you to declare a default version. Thus: - `qmake` will invoke either /opt/local/libexec/qt4/bin/qmake or /opt/local/libexec/qt5/bin/qmake or whatever you have set the default to - `qmake -qt=qt4-mac` will invoke the qmake binary from port:qt4-mac - `qmake -qt=qt5-kde` will invoke the qmake binary from port:qt5-kde (shameless plug for a port I submitted) - `qmake -qt=my-own-Qt` will invoke the qmake binary from an environment "my-own-Qt" that you've declared yourself by calling `qtchooser-mp -install` -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49629#comment:5> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
