Just do a "make install" for your qbs build and set the QBS_INSTALL_DIR environment variable to the respective install root before compiling Qt Creator.

This is a self-compiled Creator. After installing with jom install INSTALL_ROOT=./qtdevenv-5.3 it had the qbs modules in .../qtdevenv-5.3/share/qtcreator/qbs/share/qbs and the plugins in .../qtdevenv-5.3/lib/qtcreator/qbs. From there I copied the files to the places where shell-qbs expects it. So Creator uses .../qtdevenv-5.3/share/qtcreator/qbs/share/qbs .../qtdevenv-5.3/lib/qtcreator/qbs and shell-qbs uses .../qtdevenv-5.3/share/qbs .../qtdevenv-5.3/lib/qbs And to be clear: If I build with Creator twice - the second build is optimized, i.e. only modified files are build in this case. Same with shell-qbs: building twice - first build is maybe full, second creates only the modified files. Only if I build first with shell-qbs and than with Creator (or vice versa) there is no optimisation and ALL files are build. -- Kurt. ___ QBS mailing list QBS@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qbs

(although the modules and plugins are the same) Well, the fact that you had to copy module files around strongly suggests that. After all, Creator worked without that step,so it must pick these files up from somewhere else. Is this a self-compiled Creator or did you download it in binary form?

When I build with Qt Creator the time changes and when I build with qbs from shell the time on this file changes also. Maybe the reason is, that both configurations are using different module- and plugin directories?
