    Description

      Right now you depend on the docker plugin finding the right qmake executable.

      In Debian packages you have platform specific names for the qmake executable (example: arm-linux-gnueabihf-qmake). It's actually a wrapper which sets up some things for cross-compilation.

      That executable/wrapper is not found by the docker plugin. I would like to add it manually, but the only way now is by editing a file.

      There are some options here I think:

      • Allow the user to specify custom names for the qmake executable when searching for qmake binaries automatically. (So the plugin would search for the names given by the user)
      • Allow the user to easily add a path to qmake manually (without needing to edit config files)
      • This might be too specific to certain implementations, but maybe the plugin could search for qmake executables with platform specific names, like it already does with cross-compilers.
