<para>It is generally best to build an application package against the <varname>libsForQt5</varname> library set. In case a package does not build with the latest Qt version, it is possible to pick a set pinned to a particular version, e.g. <varname>libsForQt55</varname> for Qt 5.5, if that is the latest version the package supports.</para>
<para>Qt-based applications require that several paths be set at runtime. This is accomplished by wrapping the provided executables in a package with <literal>wrapQtProgram</literal> or <literal>makeQtWrapper</literal> during the <literal>postFixup</literal> phase. To use the wrapper generators, add <literal>makeQtWrapper</literal> to <literal>nativeBuildInputs</literal>. The wrapper generators support the same options as <literal>wrapProgram</literal> and <literal>makeWrapper</literal> respectively. It is usually only necessary to generate wrappers for programs intended to be invoked by the user.</para>

<para>The KDE Frameworks are a set of libraries for Qt 5 which form the basis of the Plasma desktop environment and the KDE Applications suite. Packaging a Frameworks-based library does not require any steps beyond those described above for general Qt-based libraries. Frameworks-based applications should not use <literal>makeQtWrapper</literal>; instead, use <literal>kdeWrapper</literal> to create the necessary wrappers: <literal>kdeWrapper { unwrapped = <replaceable>expr</replaceable>; targets = <replaceable>exes</replaceable>; }</literal>, where <replaceable>expr</replaceable> is the un-wrapped package expression and <replaceable>exes</replaceable> is a list of strings giving the relative paths to programs in the package which should be wrapped.</para>
