Details:

I am unable to build Octave 5.1.0 against Qt 5.11.2 (instead of the current Qt
5.12.x). The build fails during the doc generation stage with the following
error in the make log:


rm -f doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc
doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qch && \
        perl ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl octave.html
doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter && \
        qhelpgenerator  doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp -o
doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc >/dev/null && \
        rm -f doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp
doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhp
Error in line 3: Unknown token. Expected "QtHelpProject".
make[2]: *** [doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc] Error 255
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

Octave.app bug report:

It's complaining about not finding the token "QtHelpProject". The contents of
the doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhcp it's looking at is this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--DO NOT EDIT! Generated automatically by ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl-->
<QHelpCollectionProject version="1.0">
  <docFiles>
    <generate>
[...]
  </docFiles>
</QHelpCollectionProject>


And over in the doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhp file next to it, there
is a QtHelpProject element:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--DO NOT EDIT!  Generated automatically by
./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl-->
<QtHelpProject version="1.0">
  <namespace>org.octave.interpreter-1.0</namespace>
[...]


Maybe this has to do with the Qt change where qhelpgenerator functionality was
folded in to qcollectiongenerator? Maybe they don't take the same files as
inputs, so you can't just use one as a drop-in for the other without also
changing the file arguments passed to them?
