Opening the VLC Source in QtCreator

[rohanrajpal]

Hi

I was trying to open the VLC source in QtCreator. First of all, I needed a .pro file to open a project.
For this, I ran qmake -project in the root folder. This made a pro file using which I opened the project.

However, I can't edit the qml files in design mode, errors like item could not be created or invalid property name come.
Also I get a lot of file not found, unknown types even for simple things like QMenu used in source files.

Most probably the project file has not been made properly.

One thing I had to do before compiling on the command line was to set the PKG_CONFIG path
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/qt511/lib/pkgconfig/
So I added that to the build variables and customised the build settings to match the method I use in the command line.
I can build and run the project. But still cant edit qml in design mode.
VLC Source I'm using:
Github link
Link to the project file:
My pro file
VLC Build Method:

I solved a lot of imports by including

QT += quick
QT += widgets

And I guess this is the reason I can't edit files in design mode
