Another relevant question is whether there is a Qt convention for this kind
of thing.
>From the bug report:
When requiring the Qt4 package in a CMakeLists.txt, among the
available variables the one called QT_IMPORTS_DIR should point to
where QML plugins are to be installed (its value would typically be
"/usr/lib/qt4/imports").
This is not true. The QT_INSTALL_IMPORTS reported by qmake does not have the
meaning "where QML plugins are to be installed". It has the meaning "where
QML assets from Qt itself are installed".
That said, the reported problem in the bug report, that qmake reports the
path, but cmake does not make it available, seems like something to look
into.
Thanks,
Steve.
