[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/1] contribs: qt: prevent Qt from creating libtool files

[Alexandre Janniaux]

These files are generated but never used by Qt. They prevent libtool in
VLC from using pkg-config files, which would lead to misconfiguration issues,
especially in cross-compilation build.

The create_libtool config option is currently only set for unix builds, but
setting -create_libtool in the .prf file will prevent every other qt contribs to
generate libtool files too.
