## Detailed Description

Looking up a Qt installation happens via a module provider. By default, if a dependency to a Qt module is encountered, Qbs collects all Qt installations it can find. This lookup happens by searching for `qmake` executables in the `PATH` environment variable. Alternatively, you can explicitly tell Qbs which Qt installations it should consider by setting the qmakeFilePaths module provider property. In that case, the environment will be ignored. For instance, with the following Linux command line, Qbs will build the project against a custom Qt instead of the standard one in `/usr/bin`:

     $ qbs moduleProviders.Qt.qmakeFilePaths:/opt/myqt/bin/qmake

You can also set the module provider property in a profile. The simplest way to do this is via the setup-qt tool. For examples of how to use this tool, see the Managing Qt Versions section.

This provider is activated automatically when encountering a dependency on the Qt module and the qbsModuleProviders property is `undefined`:

     CppApplication {
         Depends { name: "Qt.core" }
         files: "main.cpp"
     }

Alternatively, you can activate this provider explicitly via the qbsModuleProviders property:

     CppApplication {
         Depends { name: "Qt.core" }
         files: "main.cpp"
         qbsModuleProviders: "Qt"
     }
