How to load installed examples into tabs in Qt Design Studio?

[dewcked]

I Installed Qt and set environment for Qt Design Studio. Everything Except Qt is auto-detected in Qt Design Studio. There was no problem building project.

(edit) And I installed examples with command aqt install-example windows desktop 6.3.0 --outputdir C:\Qt, docs with aqt install-doc windows 6.3.0 --outputdir C:\Qt.

One problem is, there was no Qt examples at Welcome > Examples tab. I could see nothing from there. After some investigation, I found this article explaining about dependency issue. (Official documentation)

we need qt5-tools for the manifest files to be created. See Qt Documentation.

the -docs packages would need to depend on qt5-tools. Since we build them with the base packages, qt5-tools depends on qt5-base and qt5-base would depend on qt5-tools.

examples-manifest.xml:

These files are generated by qdoc. For example, in Qt each module has a .qdocconf which pulls in .qdoc files for the examples, which contain the documentation for the example and the meta-information for the examples-manifest file for that module.

the .qdocconf contains a examplesinstallpath variable, which is used as a prefix for all example paths
the example's .qdoc contains a tag with the path to the example
These two are concatenated to the relative path that ends up in the projectPath tag in the manifest file.

For example, in Qt src/widgets/doc/qtwidgets.qdocconf there is "examplesinstallpath = widgets", and in examples/widgets/doc/src/wiggly.qdoc there is "widgets/wiggly", which results in "widgets/widgets/wiggly/wiggly.pro" as the projectPath (which is later resolved relative to QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES).

This could be the reason why no manifest files are created at all... or very likely will be. Will be testing more tomorrow, but my best guess is: we'll need another package structure for this features to get installed properly.

arch depends: qt5-doc depends on qt5-tools and qt5-examples on qt5-doc, which would imply the manifests are created in qt5-doc, which qt5-examples use. That's probably why there is a huge qt5-doc package with all the docs, since that could get hard to split up.

Can I automatically generate this manifest file easily or should I write a code for generating it myself?

So.. it is basically the same problem. Thank you.
