Hi,

Currently, the specification for Qt dependencies is not always consistent between tier1 frameworks. In particular, I notice dependencies being specified twice (eg. QtTest in both project root and in autotests), and test dependencies split (eg. QtTest in project root only, and QtXml in autotests only). What is the intended behaviour? All dependencies specified in the project root? Common dependencies specified in the project root, and specific dependencies in directories that require them? Something else? Best regards, Michael _______** Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel at kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/**listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel<https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel>

I'd say that all Qt dependencies in the module should be defined only once in the root CMakeLists.txt. Actually this should be the only file with "find_package" calls.

We could try an be stricter, but in practice what is useful for distribution is the find_dependency call in the Config.cmake.in file...
