I would call it "known issue". Anyway it does not use any post-install stuff, it simply does not consider the python plugins that would be installed (fTools, gdal tools, plugin installer, osm). > On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 8:08 PM, Martin Dobias <wonder.sk at gmail.com> wrote: >> There are few things I am aware of that >> do not work right now when run from build directory (though they work >> when installed): >> - python plugins included in source tree (fTools, installer, gdal >> tools, osm) are not visible.

I agree. But I am not aware of a "nice" way how to do it. Symlinking does not work on windows, moreover the plugin files are spread into two parts (sources in source dir + generated code in build dir). So the only way is to copy everything to the output dir when doing the build - but I did not add that (yet).
