qt creator 6.7 doesn't find qscintilla automatically

[ntos]

Hi,

I installed qt creator 6.7 using the online installer, but it doesn't automatically find the includes and libs for qscintilla2. I had to add them in the .pro files. However, if I install qt creator 6.4 from Ubuntu's repository all I need to do is add: CONFIG += qscintilla2 and that's it. Why are they different?
Thank you.
P.S I like the ubuntu respository version but it doesn't have the docs for the functions so you select a function or class and hit F1, nothing will show. Too bad.

Hi,

Qt Creator is currently at version 13 (14 on the way) so you are likely talking about Qt itself.
In the first case, you are likely using the one from your distribution and I would guess that it is also the case for qscintilla hence the integration. qscintilla is an external package so you need a bit more work to integrate it.

Thank you. Just found out that you must compile scintilla from source to use with Qt that is installed using the online installer.
