Tomasz,

That's very helpful effort, thanks very much.

I'd like to add a note on branch, similar to the one in the article
about building Qt:

"""
Then check out the target branch (see Branch Guidelines):

git checkout ....
"""

but are there any branch guidelines for Qt Creator?
IOW, it may be worth adding a note on which branch to use
depending on one's purpose.

For example, André warned on the list [1] this way:

"[As a side note: 'master' is usually unattended between about
a week before beta releases and the release candidate, it's
really not recommended to use, even for 'bleeding edge' cases
during that time"

[1] http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/qt-creator/2013-October/002844.html

Also, can we replace the plain qmake with more specific

<QtInstall>/bin/qmake -r <QtCreatorSources>

to indicate one should use the right build of Qt,
in case multiple Qt releases/builds are present in user's environment?
I'm thinking of similar wording for the commands as here:

http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qtcreator-extending/getting-and-building.html
