[Qt-creator] Difference between QtC tarballs from github and qt.io

[Andrzej Telszewski]

Hi,

I noticed there is a difference between tarball from
https://github.com/qtproject/qt-creator/archive/v4.3.0.tar.gz

and
https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/4.3/4.3.0/qt-creator-opensource-src-4.3.0.tar.gz

namely, "src/shared/qbs" is empty in tarball from github, but it is 
present in tarball from qt.io

Is this intentional?

The lack of qbs source in github's tarball bit me yesterday, when I was 
trying to compile QtC against system-wide qbs installation.

It turns out I have to add
DEFINES+=QBS_ENABLE_PROJECT_FILE_UPDATES

to qmake's command line when generating Makefile for QtC.

This is required so that declarations from "qbs/api/project.h":
#ifdef QBS_ENABLE_PROJECT_FILE_UPDATES
     ErrorInfo addGroup(const ProductData &product, const QString 
&groupName);
     ErrorInfo addFiles(const ProductData &product, const GroupData &group,
                        const QStringList &filePaths);
     ErrorInfo removeFiles(const ProductData &product, const GroupData 
&group,
                           const QStringList &filePaths);
     ErrorInfo removeGroup(const ProductData &product, const GroupData 
&group);
#endif // QBS_ENABLE_PROJECT_FILE_UPDATES

are available when compiling QtC.


If I recall correctly, this problem didn't exist when using tarball from 
qt.io and compiling against system-wide qbs.


Am I missing some documentation or is documentation missing something? :-)

Thanks!
