I have not done a whole lot of work with Qt, but they install all their binaries into /usr/lib/qt$ver/bin (at least for Qt4), and everything in /usr/bin is just a symlink to qtchooser, which then launches the correct tool and version and stuff. This looks like an upstream bug, since they should test for “moc -qt=5”, not just “moc” and/or use qtchooser to determine the available version(s) of Qt (or whatever Qt’s recommended way is).

After some digging, I figured out how to work around this.  Tell it not
to look for qt5 at all.  I added this to the package.use file:

media-video/mkvtoolnix -qt5 

With that, it looks for qt4 and doesn't look for qt5.  I figure this
will break something in the future tho.  It always seems to bite back
later.  I like it when I get this:


root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Nothing to merge; quitting.
