Hi, I'm trying to get into plugin development for the Qt Creator on Linux. Here are my questions:
1. Is Qt Creator not a "true" Qt application, because of "Qt Creator requires private headers of Qt, which are unfortunately not installed by the Qt binary packages" [1]? 2. Is it really necessary to build Qt Creator from sources to develop plugins? 3. If yes, why? 4. Don't I just need only the headers for plugin development, for example "extensionsystem/iplugin.h" ? My experience was: I download the online installer for Linux from [2] and install it. Let's call it "Qt Creator A". Then I download the sources of Qt Creator from [3] and compile them with Qt Creator A. Let's call the result "Qt Creator B". Now I create a (default) plugin project in Qt Creator A and set the required source and binaries to that of Qt Creator B. Then I compile and run my plugin without problems. So the procedure for compiling Qt with private headers described in [1] isn't needed.
