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

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