When cross compiling on x86 for arm/aarch64 I use qemu/binfmt to run whatever arm binaries are needed during the build.
However, tqmoc produces arch independent output and so the x86 binary can be used, avoiding the overhead that qemu produces.
It's convenient to place the x86 binaries outside the TDE tree and be able to define where tqmoc can be found, so I use this patch in FindTQt.cmake:

Adding a condition seems like a good idea for all executables that is being searched here. This not only allows to specify paths as building parameters, but also prevents repeated searches in case of repeated building.

Note that you should make the variables CACHEd rather than adding the conditions. The tde_execute_process() already has a built-in support for that — just add CACHE to it's arguments.

Welcome Ray 😄
Note that you should make the variables
CACHE
d rather than adding the conditions. Thetde_execute_process()
already has a built-in support for that — just addCACHE
to it's arguments.Thank you @Fat-Zer, this is a very good reminder! Such a solution will be good and very clean.
Thank you for reporting – the issue has been resolved by #29.
