Missing Bluetooth examples- repost

@AnneRanch
Silly me - I can "watch for responses"
AFTER my post is posted !

OK, looks as "qtconncetivity" is partial answers to my post.
( I have not seen anywhere is has to be installed...)

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtconnectivity.git/tree/examples/bluetooth/btscanner?h=5.13

So HOW do I copy actual code from the above link to Qt Creator and make a project from the source?

To "discuss" my post - do I have to keep adding to my first reply ?

Yes, I did find out how to keep track of my posts, thanks.

Hi,

Use git and clone the repository.

OK, looks as I am on right track, but I have received this error:

Cloning into 'btscanner?h=5-13'...
fatal: repository 'https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtconnectivity.git/tree/examples/bluetooth/btscanner?h=5.13/' not found

I can trace / fix the error , can you give me some assistance how?
Or just confirm that I am on the right track / path?

I am still trying to follow some kind of logic when posting , having a heck of a time.

? Is there a way to edit my last post?

Questions:
How do I verify my OS is "getting" stuff from correct repository ? Is my last "error" indicating I am in wrong repository ? Wrong link format ?
I just copied the link from my browser.

@AnneRanch the git clone URLs are written on the bottom of the repos web page.

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git should work.

To edit your last post, use the "three vertical dots" menu > Edit.

OK, here are the results:

Where is my cloned "bluetooth" project?
A new user following instructions should receive intended results or more detailed error description. So far the GUI "instructions" and response seems useless , only generating these posts

Here is a copy of "instructions" , leading nowhere....
(See the original post title )

Running the Example

To run the example from Qt Creator, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.

Example project @ code.qt.io

See also Qt Bluetooth.

Yes, I can "add"

Qt += bluetooth

to project

but I am after the actual example of bluetooth scanner project

"Cloning into 'qtconnectivity'..."

sudo git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git

Why do you need to clone a repo as root user?

sudo git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtconnectivity.git

In addition to @Christian-Ehrlicher please remember that after cloning the repo (getting the sources...) you need to build and install the module so you can later build and run the example you want.

I am not sure I want to engage in "root" user "security" discussion.
Been there, done that.

But appreciate refreshing my memory to MOVE the cloned data OUT of root.
I did move the source but still cannot "buidl" it - getting "permission denied".
I can fix that.

So "you need to build and install the module " is next?
I hope after I successfully build and run the intended project I can come up with simplified and real process to "import" Qt projects from ANY repository.

Just out of curiosity - could I get an example of "Qt module" ?
It seems my second post ( about Qt hierarchy ) in this forum was not that silly after all - for example if I want to use TCP - do I need to "add TCP module " too?

Cheers

@AnneRanch I'm wondering why you fight with git anyway.

You can install everything with few clicks from the online installer. It seems you lost your way, so may you please tell us what you did so far to get Qt running?

To whom it may matter:

Is there a way to CHANGE standard examples path to point to my newly cloned gtconnectivity examples?

I have NO issues running Qt creator.
When I have need for an assistance I'll will ask for it.

Please quit second guessing my posts and try to read them before locking them.

If possible I would like to just have an answer to the above question ONLY.

Addendum
I have found this reference

https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Examples_in_Qt_Creator

This handy document identifies the function of "standard examples path" in question - implemented in pull down combo box .
I do not do XML, perhaps somebody knowledgeable in XML can help me to find where is the examples path coded in XML.
I would appreciate that very much.
