Update of bug #53408 (project octave):

Follow-up Comment #20:

When you are cross-building for Windows with mxe-octave, it takes care of
building and setting up all of the dependency libraries including Qt and
Qscintilla2.

It is only because Qt is now needed to run the 'make dist' target that you
need any Qt at all on your host system.

Like I said in comment #14, there is a bug here, but it's very subtle and may
end up making the configure script too complicated. The problem is that the OS
installs /usr/bin/qcollectiongenerator as a hook, while the actual
qcollectiongenerator program may or may not be installed.

I'll close this as won't fix, but it's easy enough to reopen if someone thinks
this is important.
