QNX and android Plugin in QtCreator 2.5.81

[pushpendrak]

I tried to build the QtCreator 2.5.81 (2.6), but failed to build using 4.8.1(mingw/2008/2010) on windows, then i tried with vc2012, it was successful but when i tried to run QtCreator popup message shown me:
[code]'..../lib/qtcreator/plugins/RIM/Qnx.dll' is not a valid Qt plugin
[/code]

for which i compiled, it is not working.
somebody have any idea.

Hi, can you run depends.exe on that plugin please to see if all of the dependent libraries are found at runtime.

Also please set the environment variable QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 and then launch creator from the command line to get some feedback on what is going wrong with the plugin loading.

I did that also. in report it says IESHIMS.dll (IEFRAME.dll dependency) file not found, but this error is shown for all plugins and dlls loaded properly.

One more interesting thing is that all plugins are having (plugin name).lib file except android and QNX plugins.
QmlProfiler is also not loading showing some error.......

Finally solved by searching and comparing files, i found that all plugins have Metadata from json file but android and qnx plugins doesn't have yhis line.
so i added the line in Qnxplugin.h
[code]
Q_PLUGIN_METADATA(IID "org.qt-project.Qt.QtCreatorPlugin" FILE "Qnx.json")
[/code]
and modified the qnx.json as shown below

[code]{
"Vendor" : "Research In Motion",

"Category" : "Device Support",

"Description" : "Adds support for QNX to Qt Creator",

"Url" : "http://www.rim.com"
}[/code]

where
[code]"Category" : "Device Support",[/code]
was the end line in qnx.json file.

similarly for the Android plugin and both are now recognized as plugins in QtCreator 2.5.81.

So you built creator against Qt 5 then? The new plugin format is a Qt5 feature. You said in the original post that you used Qt 4.8.1. Can you clarify please? I'll file a bug here about the missing json stuff for when building with Qt5.

[pushpendrak]

yeah initially tried with Qt5 only (failed for not invalid plugin), but after failure i tried with 4.8.1 this time not able to compile fully may be the different version.

But yes i have compiled with:
Windows 7, 32 bit
Visual Express 2010 (and installed VS2010 SP1)
VC2010 compiler patch (VC-Compiler-KB2519277) after installing VS2010 sp1
Windows SDK 7.1 (and using SDK 7.1 command Prompt)
Qt 5 Beta1 (MSVC2010)
