Revision history [back]

The QtCreator of the Sailfish OS IDE on Linux is using it's own Qt libraries (bundled) by default. Given this fact, the IDE is using Qt 5.5 (Sailfish OS IDE 17.01 Beta) and the remaining part of the system uses Qt 5.8. Problem here is: the QtCreator of the Sailfish OS IDE isn't able to run native under Wayland, because a Wayland Platform Plugin is missing. In addition it isn't able to use the Qt Platformthemes which are configured system-wide. In my case there are several glitches when using it in Xwayland, therefore it would be really productive to have it running native under Wayland.

My question now: Is there a way to let the Sailfish OS IDE use the system libraries, like normal QtCreator does it? I know there are qt.conf configuration files to override paths to grab the libraries, but I wasn't able to configure it.
