My Linux has system-wide Qt 5.9.5. For testing purpose I’m trying to build Bitcoin Core against other Qt version which is installed from the official Qt’s site (e.g., Qt 5.10.1):

0export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/hebasto/Qt/5.10.1/gcc_64/lib/pkgconfig
1./configure --with-gui=qt5
2make

It produces weird linker’s error related to Qt itself:

0  CXXLD    qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt
1qt/test/qt_test_test_bitcoin_qt-addressbooktests.o: In function `(anonymous namespace)::EditAddressAndSubmit(EditAddressDialog*, QString const&, QString const&, QString) [clone .constprop.863]':
2/home/hebasto/Qt/5.10.1/gcc_64/include/QtTest/qtest.h:70: undefined reference to `QTest::toPrettyUnicode(QStringView)'
3/home/hebasto/Qt/5.10.1/gcc_64/include/QtTest/qtest.h:70: undefined reference to `QTest::toPrettyUnicode(QStringView)'
4...
5Makefile:4034: recipe for target 'qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt' failed
6...

What am I doing wrong?

Not sure, but it looks like the signature of that function changed between 5.9 and 5.10: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.9/qtest.html#toPrettyUnicode https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.10/qtest.html#toPrettyUnicode

Maybe there’s something that you can piece together given the info here?: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/depends https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/packages/qt.mk
