I experimented with a build in prefix in March 2018. I changed MER Qt<br>
build configuration to make it trivial to install an arbitrary number<br>
of versions simultaneously. I'll make PRs on <a href="http://git.merproject.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">git.merproject.org</a> once<br>
Qt-5.9 support will be merged to master.<br>
There are two issues — wayland and virtual keyboard. I posted<br>
instruction in Sailfish OS Fan Club group in Telegram, here it is:<br>

I also mostly built Qt-5.11, but it is not an LTS and IMO not as big<br>
step forward as 5.9, so I didn't evolve it.<br>

Not sure whether it has been considered by others and I wonder whether we can make a separate Qt 5.12 packages for /opt/qt512?<br>

As far as I remember, Wayland was rather old and, maybe, it will preclude Qt 5.12 compilation. @mal, though, had a newer version around and it may serve a purpose for such project. Is there anything else that should be considered?<br>
