[Qt-creator] importing a QtBase build into Creator?

[René J.V. Bertin]

Hi,

I'm trying to open the QtBase source tree in Creator, ideally importing the build configured through the configure(?) command line build procedure. That uses an out-of-tree shadow build dir btw, so the build dir for /path/to/qt-everywhere-xyz/qtbase is in /path/to/build/qtbase .

I'm not getting anywhere; importing qtbase.pro gives me an empty project whatever I try, and importing qtbase/src/src.pro doesn't allow me to import the build (I can select /path/to/build/qtbase/src but when I hit the import button the path goes back to /path/to/qt-everywhere-xyz/qtbase/src .
Even when the import existing build seems to work (for qtbase.pro) the project is still marked as unconfigured which doesn't seem to make sense. I don't want to hit the configure button because I don't trust that this will NOT change the build configuration.

Thanks,
R.
