[Qt-interest] QtDemo: "Could not load description. Ensure that the documentation for Qt is built."

Hi,

I build QT 4.7.1 with VS2010 toolchain on Windows 7 successfully (with 
quiet a lot of warnings but without errors). After that I made an call 
to nmake clean and startet the demo app to see if everything works. The 
qtdemo app gives me the message: "Could not load description. Ensure 
that the documentation for Qt is built."
So I tried to build the documentation with nmake docs, which also gives 
me a lot of warnings about missing pngs, and some linking fails, but 
finished with the message successfully build docs. Now I had two new 
dirs docs and docs-build, but the qtdemo app still states that it 
couldn't load the documentation, do I have to rebuild the demo app, or 
do something else after building the documentation from source? And I 
don't know if its important but the whole build was a shadow build with 
the source in C:\Qt\src-4.7.1 and build in C:\Qt\4.7.1 the configure 
parameters I used where -ltcg and -opensource, nothing more.
It's nothing that important as long as the documentation works in 
qtcreator, but I would like to know what I did wrong.

With best regards
     Alex
