[Qt-creator] Qt Creator & QmlDesigner Fedora packaging issues & problems

[Stefan Becker]

Hi,

I'm trying Qt Creator on Fedora 14 and found that the QmlDesigner was 
missing in their qt-creator-2.1.0-4.rc1.fc14 package. We're discussing 
the problems in the following bug reports:

    <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657498>
    <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657752>



qt-creator/QmlDesigner compilation requires a lot of internal Qt files, 
not only from include/, but also under src/. This makes it really 
difficult to package it separately. Is this issue known and will be 
addressed in future releases?

Or is the recommendation to compile qt & qt-creator in the same package 
build and generate qt-creator as sub-package from the build?



I have now spiked my private qt-creator Fedora SRPM with those private 
header files and have been able to generate a qt-creator RPM with 
QmlDesigner enabled. The designer starts but in the "Library" view the 
"Items" tab shows up empty. So even following the tutorial on the help 
pages fails, because you can't add a simple Rectangle :-(

This is probably another packaging problem. What files/directories does 
QmlDesigner read to fill the Library/Items tab? I looked into the C++ 
code of the "ItemLibrary*" classes but couldn't figure out where the 
model fetches the library items from.


Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

	Stefan
