None example in macport/share/qt4 folder

[Ryan Schmidt]

I'm not sure how well I'm able to help you. I'm not terribly familiar with Qt; I just have it installed because some of the other ports I use require it.

Try opening these HTML pages in a browser; they seem to describe all the available included examples and demos:

file:///opt/local/share/doc/qt4/html/all-examples.html

file:///opt/local/share/doc/qt4/html/demos.html

I do see those two xml files, but I'm not familiar with these "manifest" files or what uses them. I do see some URLs in them, like:

        <demo name="40000 Chips" docUrl="qthelp://com.trolltech.qt.482/qdoc/demos-chip.html" projectPath="chip/chip.pro" imageUrl="qthelp://com.trolltech.qt.482/qdoc/images/chip-demo.png">

I don't know what application is meant to process these "qthelp" URLs.

I've never used Qt Creator and I haven't used qmake directly (just indirectly, by installing some other ports). So I'm not clear on how or if they're supposed to know about each other or how they're supposed to behave.

I think your best bet may be to consult the normal Qt documentation, since it sounds like your questions may be more about Qt and less about MacPorts. If you can't find documentation on a particular Qt topic, ask in a Qt support venue.

If something documented by the Qt people doesn't seem to work that way in the MacPorts version, then that would be a time to report the issue to us so that we can fix our Qt installation to match the Qt documentation.
