    Description

      I'm trying to use qbs for the first time because I wanted to try out https://github.com/johanhelsing/qt-csd-demo

      I configured qtchooser to have my local 5.11 build as the default Qt then ran qbs-setup-qt --detect, and it found 3 versions: that plus two system Qt installations (5.10.0 and 4.8.7):

      [str][14:50:33] qt 511d
      Using Qt version: 511d
      
      [str][15:19:38] qmake -version
      QMake version 3.1
      Using Qt version 5.11.0 in /home/rutledge/dev/qt511-dbg/qtbase/lib

      Then I try to build the project.

      [str][14:56:43] qbs build profile:qt-5-11-0

      ERROR: The process '/home/rutledge/dev/qt511-dbg/qtbase/bin/qtquickcompiler' could not be started: execve: No such file or directory.

      So yeah there is no qtquickcompiler because this is my own Qt build. Not sure why it assumes there always should be. I only have one instance of qtquickcompiler on my system, which is for a Qt installed from the universal installer, which the detection apparently didn't find anyway.

      At this point I don't know how to tell it to forget about the qtquickcompiler, so it was easier to generate a .pro and go back to using qmake.

      By the way, since I use qtchooser, I'd rather have qbs cooperate better with that: by default, use the Qt which is currently accessible in my path. (qtchooser acts as a proxy for the binaries like qmake and qml etc., and also can be queried to find the Qt binary and lib dirs. qtchooser pays attention to this env variable: QT_SELECT=511d, which tells it to look in ~/.config/qtchooser/511d.conf, which only needs two lines: the bin dir and the lib dir.) Instead what I'm seeing is that qbs-setup-qt generated 145 config files just for this one version, under ~/.config/QtProject/qbs/1.10.0/profiles/qt-5-11-0. That's a lot of stuff to manage... with that many config files, it's predictable that something will be wrong there pretty often.
