I didn't really find it documented (beyond what is explained above). I did just verify that exporting QML2_IMPORTS_PATH lets us point Qt to those imports at runtime. I suggest we install the Plasma imports under the lib directory then, i.e. $PREFIX/lib/qml, in order to keep the rest of the filesystem clean. I'll change the patch accordingly. (Unless you shout.) Do we have any canonical place where I set a sensible the QML2_IMPORT_PATH env var, so we don't have to tell everybody to add this to their setup? -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
