Qt examples are not visible in QtCreator (Mageia 6)

[xtapetae]

I suspect this is a bug but I am not sure.

There seems to be nothing wrong with QtCreator.
The examples are installed and Qt knows about this:

Code: Select all

 $qmake -query  QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples


According to: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Examples_in_Qt_Creator there should be an entry for the available examples in QtCreator.ini (path: ~/.config/QtProject/),
With my installation this is not the case. I installed the examples, reinstalled QtCreator and everything but the examples did not turn up.
The docs say that for installed QT-Versions:

Qt Creator looks up 'examples-manifest.xml' and 'demos-manifest.xml' files from subdirectories of the Qt doc directory (the one qmake -query QT_INSTALL_DOCS returns).


The path given in my case is: /usr/share/doc/qt5. However, in the subdirectories there is just one examples-manifest.xml in the dir: /usr/share/doc/qt5/qtwebsockets/. That already looks a bit weird to me. in any case the xml-file shows some websocket-related examples but they do not show up either. There is no other examples-manifest.xml file on my system.
When looking at the file /usr/share/doc/qt5/qtwebsockets/examples-manifest.xml I cannot make sense of the paths. One example:


Code: Select all

<example name="Echo Client Example" docUrl="qthelp://org.qt-project.qtwebsockets.562/qtwebsockets/qtwebsockets-echoclient-example.html" projectPath="websockets/echoclient/echoclient.pro" imageUrl="qthelp://org.qt-project.qtdoc.562/qtdoc/images/qt-codesample.png">

<fileToOpen>websockets/echoclient/echoclient.h</fileToOpen>
<fileToOpen mainFile="true">websockets/echoclient/echoclient.cpp</fileToOpen>
</example>



As the file docUrl="qthelp://org.qt-project.qtwebsockets.562/qtwebsockets/qtwebsockets-echoclient-example.html shows up in
/usr/share/doc/qt5/qtwebsockets/qtwebsockets-echoclient-example.html I conclude that the prefix qthelp:// is incorrect in the xml-file. Or the path is not correct. But this does not help for the missing other examples.

At that point I'm stuck. I'd appreciate help...

We had a similar issue in the past, the cause was broken or missing OpenGL acceleration - if it wasn't set up properly or if you tested in in a VM then it simply would not show any examples.

But your issue on mga6 seems to have already been reported, feel free to follow that bugreport and comment that you are also affected:
