Some confusion here trying to use Fedora's Qt 5 packages, and it seems they
cannot be use quickly.

  $ rpm -qa qt5\*|sort
  qt5-qtbase-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64
  qt5-qtbase-devel-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64
  qt5-qtbase-gui-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64
  qt5-qtbase-ibase-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64
  qt5-qtbase-mysql-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64
  qt5-qtbase-odbc-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64
  qt5-qtbase-postgresql-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64
  qt5-qtbase-tds-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64

No "moc" in PATH, no "uic" either. Just moc-qt5 and uic-qt5.

  $ pkg-config --variable=moc Qt5
  /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/moc
  $ pkg-config --variable=uic Qt5

  $
  $ rpm -qf  /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/moc
  qt5-qtbase-devel-5.3.2-3.fc21.x86_64

No documentation in that package:

  $ rpm -qd qt5-qtbase-devel
  $

It seems to be specific to Fedora. Looking up the qt5-qtbase spec file,
even the Qt5.pc file is generated there. The "moc" variable is added there
to help finding MOC, but why not also UIC? All binaries get renamed to
avoid a conflict, but I couldn't find a helper script to make them
available in path again. I think of a shell file in a fixed location one
could source. And why isn't any of this documented in the package
description?

It looks like one could simply prepend

  /usr/lib64/qt5/bin

to $PATH to make available the executables, which are renamed to avoid
conflicts with other Qt versions.

  $ rpm -qi qt5-qtbase-devel|tail -2
  Description :
  Development files for qt5-qtbase.
