QT_HOST_PATH

Location of the host Qt installation when cross-compiling.

This variable was introduced in Qt 6.0.

When cross-compiling, this variable must be set to the install location of Qt for the host platform. It is used to locate tools to be run on the host ( moc , rcc , androiddeployqt , and so on). It's possible to reuse pre-installed tools when compiling Qt for host systems too, by using QT_HOST_PATH that points to a pre-installed host Qt and setting the QT_FORCE_FIND_TOOLS to ON . The Qt versions should match in this case.
