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 Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
