Hi,


I'm trying to build a plugin for qtcreator [1], and also if I can,
package it. The question is that package requires:

QtCreatorConfig.cmake
qtcreator-config.cmake

I don't know if other distros provide a qtcreator devel package but I
would like to ask you if it could be possible that you provide in the
qtcreator package some devel stuff (qtcreator-dev??) to build plugins.

Best regards,


Leopold

Hi all!!

I have investigated a bit, but I need your experience. Using the salsa
repo of qtcreator, I have added in control a new package:

----------------------------------------------
diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control
index 5b810ce..980a927 100644
--- a/debian/control
+++ b/debian/control

In the rules file, I have activated the devel component:

And in the debian directory, I have added debian/qtcreator-devel.install
with:

----------------------------------------------
usr/include/qtcreator usr/src
usr/lib/cmake usr/src/qtcreator
----------------------------------------------

I have tried to follow the directory structure from the arch package
[1]. Probably I will have made some mistakes.

Although the package is built (also backported for bullseye), I have
some trouble when I try to build a plugin, specially with the paths.

So, please, could you check it?

Best regards,

Leopold
