Does QStandardPaths provide a parameter to retrieve the runtime binary install location ? For example if kdeinit5.exe is located in <install-root>/bin it should return <install-root> or if is installed in <install-root> and there is no 'bin' dir in path it should return <install-root> ? With QLibraryInfo::location() I can set the prefix in the related qt.conf to what I want as shown by the following example. Install layout without 'bin' sub dir (kdeinit5.exe is located in the <install-root> dir) - no qt.conf required - or qt.conf contains [Paths] Prefix = . Binaries = . Install layout with 'bin' sub dir (qt.conf and kdeinit5.exe are located in '<install-root>/bin' dir) [Paths] Prefix = .. Binaries = bin BTW: From the QStandardPaths documentation it looks that <APPDIR> is the nearest guess with a required patch to use <APPDIR>/.. if the executable is located in a bin subdir and to use <APPDIR> otherwise. Unfortunally I do not see any StandardLocation which would provide this. REPOSITORY R303 KInit REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D7706 To: habacker Cc: dfaure, #frameworks
