It seems that before I have mixed and passed to QBS build, what should 
have been passed to QTC build and vice versa.

I have now built QBS with:

qmake-qt5 qbs.pro \
   QBS_LIBRARY_DIRNAME=lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX \
   QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
   QBS_INSTALL_PREFIX=/ \
   CONFIG+=qbs_enable_project_file_updates
make
make docs
make install INSTALL_ROOT=$PKG/usr

and QTC with:

qmake-qt5 qtcreator.pro \
   IDE_LIBRARY_BASENAME="lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX" \
   QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \
   LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=/usr \
   QBS_INSTALL_DIR=/usr
make
make install INSTALL_ROOT=$PKG/usr
make docs
make install_docs INSTALL_ROOT=$PKG/usr

and now it is correct, that is Qt Creator uses the pre-installed version 
of QBS:)


Now I have a small issue. When I start Qt Creator, I receive the message:
WARNING: Plugin path '/usr/lib//qbs/plugins' does not exist.

I guess that I still mess something with QBS_LIBRARY_DIRNAME and/or 
IDE_LIBRARY_BASENAME there is something missing? Please advise. I'm on 
x86_64.


Almost there, thank you very much :)

I'd rather prefer storage of known size.
And I'm not sure, if those will take me further or back ;)

Lesson learned: never ask programmers for pointers, because you might 
actually get one ;)
