Thanks for the tip.

I was, and still am, confused by how the plugin gets build and installed.
When I build the plugin from within Qt Creator, it gets installed
automatically, I never have to use make install.

Running make install from the build dir works, but results in an
error. It wants to create a directory called "/lib/qtcreator".


Thanks for the reply. I have an answer to my question. Just run make
install in the build dir regardless of building the plugin in Qt
Creator.

I wouldn't know a better place. But, if you consider to provide your plugin 
cross-platform, you should notice that resources are at a different place on 
Mac builds.
You should definitely use $$IDE_DATA_PATH/myplugin/scripts
and in you plugin sources Core::ICore::instance()->resourcePath() + 
QLatin1String("/myplugin/scripts")

INSTALLS creates an additional make target "make install". If you don't call 
"make install" the files will not be copied. If you want to actually copy files 
during the "make" step, you'll unfortunately need to do some fancy stuff, 
similar to share/qtcreator/static.pro
/me wonders if we couldn't provide most of the stuff for this task as functions 
in qtcreator.pri ?

Some important details:
The plugin is created base on the Qt Creator plugin project in Qt
Creator itself.
It is being build inside Qt Creator.

[Qt-creator] Install support files together with plugin

2010-10-16 Thread Tim Beaulen 
Hello,

I'm creating a plugin that needs to install a couple of script files.
In doing so I encountered a problem.

First a question. Is it allowed to install these support files in
share/qtcreator/myplugin/ ?
Or is there some etiquette that says not to do that?

In trying to install these files, I modified the .pro file of the
plugin like so:
Note: "..." replaces several other lines.

1. ...
2.
3. OTHER_FILES = ... \
4.tests/testscript.qs
5.
6. ...
7.
8. testscriptfiles.files += tests/testscript.qs
9. testscriptfiles.path = $$IDE_BUILD_TREE/share/qtcreator/myplugin/scripts
10. INSTALLS += testscriptfiles
11.
12. ...

However, the script doesn't get installed. How can I do this?
