[Interest] Qt qml plugins don't have .pri under mkspecs/modules while other plugins have (static build of Qt)

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I wonder why there are no .pri for the qml related plugins under 
mkspecs/modules.  For examples, every lib created under plugins has the 
respective .pri:

qwindows
qmldbg_debugger
qmldbg_inspector
qmldbg_profiler
qmldbg_server
qmldbg_local
qmldbg_tcp

And so on...

And you can simply write on your .pro:

QTPLUGIN += qmldbg_debugger qmldbg_inspector qmldbg_profiler 
qmldbg_server qmldbg_local qmldbg_tcp

It will link with the respective lib.

However, it doesn't possible to follow the same strategy with qml plugins.

To link with qml plugins I need to explicit refer the library name and path:

CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick.2 
qtquick2plugind.lib
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick\Window.2 
windowplugind.lib
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick\Controls 
qtquickcontrolsplugind.lib
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick\Layouts 
qquicklayoutsplugind.lib
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick\Extras 
qtquickextrasplugind.lib
} else {
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick.2 
qtquick2plugin.lib
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick\Window.2 
windowplugin.lib
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick\Controls 
qtquickcontrolsplugin.lib
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick\Layouts 
qquicklayoutsplugin.lib
     LIBS += -LC:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_opengl_x86_static\qml\QtQuick\Extras 
qtquickextrasplugin.lib
}

My environment is a static build of Qt. Is this normal or is a bug?

Regards,

Nuno
