<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">This is my preferred solution, and is hopefully only a temporary one. However, I know David Faure doesn't like it, and (I assume) would rather have a generic LIBEXEC variable.
My view is that libexec should be used for stuff that's really internal to a piece of software (like a framework), and so a libexec env var shouldn't be necessary (except maybe for relocatability?), but the current situation with drkonqi should hopefully be a temporary one (until 5.1 or something), and so a specific var for unusual situations is reasonable.
However, given that an objection has already been raised by the maintainer, I'm not willing to give it a ship-it without his agreement.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I maintain my objection: while this particular issue might be temporary, the fact that libexec path gets hardcoded into the compiled library makes things impossible to relocate. PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH solve this for normal executables and libraries, an equivalent is just missing for libexec.
My suggestion then is more precisely: QFile::decodeName(qgetenv("LIBEXEC_PATH")).split(':') and pass that list to QStandardPaths::findExecutable(), which can take a list of paths to check into, as the second argument. Nice and easy. And later we can do the same in all frameworks that look for something in libexec (with a fallback to the builtin path).

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Since KCrash is a framework that relies on DrKonqi binary being provided by a 3rd party software (kde-runtime), it should not make assumptions regarding location of the utility.
This patch makes KCrash to look for drkonqi binary first in $PATH, then falling back to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR. With this patch it's possible for distributions to ship KDE Frameworks in normal prefix (/usr), but have current snapshots of kde-runtime in /opt/kde5 for instance.</pre>
