# Summary

KF5 modules have .pri files with absolute and unconfigurable paths in them:
E.g.
```
cat ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/mkspecs/modules/qt_KAuth.pri
[...]
QT.KAuth.includes = /usr/include/KF5/KAuth
QT.KAuth.private_includes =
QT.KAuth.libs = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
[...]
```

The corresponding cmake files respect _IMPORT_PREFIX. The Qt modules do also respect $$QT_MODULE_INCLUDE_BASE in their .pri files

# Problem

With the sdk snaps being used as build snaps, they are not mounted at /, but at /snap/${SNAP_NAME} and thus those absolute paths are invalid when using qmake.

# Expectation

KF5 modules include a prefix variable like their Qt companions. As a consequence, they respect Prefix set in qt.conf
