Check out <qtcreator_src>/scripts/createDevPackage.py Takes a source tree and a build tree and collects all things that are need besides the result of ‘make install’. I.e. if you set IDE_SOURCE_TREE/QTC_SOURCE to the result of createDevPackage.py and IDE_BUILD_TREE/QTC_BUILD to the result of ‘make install’, you should be able to build a plugin against that, without the need to keep the whole build directory (or source directory). Should also work on all platforms (Lin/Win/mac).
