Hi, in your plugin's pro file, you need to set a variable IDE_BUILD_TREE to the location of the creator build directory before including src/ qtcreatorplugin.pri. Your plugin library will then end up at the correct place in Qt Creator\s build directory.
E.g. assuming ~/dev/qt-creator ~/dev/qt-creator-build ~/dev/myplugin/myplugin.pro in myplugin.pro you should set IDE_BUILD_TREE=$$PWD/../qt-creator-build include(../qt-creator/src/qtcreatorplugin.pri) To make that more flexible you should consider reading the directories from environment variables, though, e.g. IDE_BUILD_TREE=$$(QTC_BUILD) include($$(QTC_SOURCE)/src/qtcreatorplugin.pri) and then set the environment variables QTC_BUILD and QTC_SOURCE correspondingly before running qmake. ++ Eike On Aug 24, 2009, at 7:52 AM, ext Prashanth Udupa wrote: > Hi All, > > I am learning to write plugins for Qt Creator.
