Good morning everybody :

Hereby a new bug I guess I had with previous version of Octave.

First, some details :

- OS : MacOS Monterey (v. 12.7.5) ;
- processors : Intel (4 choirs) ;
- compilers : GNU cc v. 16.2.0 (last version - May 2026) ;
- QT : Qt5, not installed in an usual folder (namely, not in /usr/local, nor
as a framework, and nor in $PATH).

With the configure variable --with-qt set as 5,  and PATH set as
PATH=$PATH:Qt5_installation_root/bin, so :

Qt5Help library is not found (please kindly acknowledge the files I uploaded
below).

This afternoon, I'm going trying to fix it in forcing the search in  setting
LDFLAGS="-LQt5_installation_root/lib". Fairly good chance to succeed.

Kind regards,

laurentdk007
