I am no qmake expert, sorry.

But I would not expect that kind of machine specific configuration to
be set up by the build system: Any machine that builds the code will
probably need a different LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH to be set --
depending on where the stuff is installed on that particular system. I
would have the build system check whether the necessary tools can be
run and complain with a clear error message if they fail.

Then I would ask users to set the system environment properly and be
done with that:-) If you admin all the developer machines doing that
should not be too hard... not much harder than installing all the
required tools in the first place.

Best Regards,
Tobias
