It is just that if you want to keep using that version *AND* want updates, you will have to pay *for the updates*, as the only *free* support will be for the 6.x versions.

No. To use your locally built Qt 5.x, you will need to make sure /usr/local/ is known to your build environment (path, compiler, linker, etc.).

Huh? I am running rcc in the directory above. Where the makefile is. Is rcc doing an effective cd to the dirname of the qrc file? That would be *really* strange (and most unfriendly...).
