    Description

      Changing the directory structure when building Qt 6.3.0 from the sources by configuring with -libdir -bindir -headerdir etc. options leads to situation where it cannot find Qt6Config.cmake and other .cmake files. Ultimately the issue with configuration falls down to -libdir <install_prefix>\some_dir\lib configure option.

      It seems like when doing -libdir %QTINSTALLDIR%\lib it configures successfully but if there is something between the prefix and lib, it fails to find the necessary .cmake files.

      Way to reproduce:
      set QTBASEDIR=<Qt_source_root_dir>
      set QTINSTALLDIR=<install_prefix_path>
      set MY_OS=Win_msvc2019

      Configure:
      %QTBASEDIR%\configure -prefix %QTINSTALLDIR% -bindir %QTINSTALLDIR%%MY_OS%\qt-6.3\bin -libdir %QTINSTALLDIR%%MY_OS%\qt-6.3\lib -headerdir %QTINSTALLDIR%\share\qt-6.3\include -archdatadir %QTINSTALLDIR%%MY_OS%\qt-6.3 -datadir %QTINSTALLDIR%\share\qt-6.3 -cmake-generator Ninja

      The configure output is found in configure_output.txt attached which shows that it is failing to find the .cmake files.
