Qt Creator does not show any examples
-
There are several articles about missing examples but none solve my problem, so here goes:
I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a desktop PC and installed QtCreator using the Ubuntu Software Centre. That installed:
Qt Creator 3.0.1
Based on Qt 5.2.1 (GCC 4.8.2, 64 bit)
Built on Apr 9 2014 at 09:12:59I also installed Qt Designer, Qt Settings, Qt Assistant and Qt Linguist.
Seeing that there were no examples visible on the Welcome screen I went back to the Software Centre and installed qtbase5-doc, qtbase5-doc-html, qtbase5-examples, qtbase5-examples-dbg, qtbase5-dbg, qtbase5-tools-dbg, qtbase5-dev, qtbase5-tools and qtbase5-private-dev.
Still the same!
I have a Ubuntu 14.04 laptop with the same packages installed and that shows the examples correctly! I can't see any differences between the two.
I have checked '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/examples' and the examples are all there and the permissions throughout are world-readable.
I have seen reference to 'examples-manifest.xml'. My system has 11 files with that name:
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qdoc/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtdbus/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtsql/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtxml/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtgui/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtopengl/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtconcurrent/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtwidgets/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtcore/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qttestlib/examples-manifest.xml
/usr/share/qt5/doc/qtnetwork/examples-manifest.xmland they are the same on both the laptop and desktop (sizes are same too).
Can anyone help with this please?

Hi Phil -
Did you ever get the Examples to show up in Creator? I just installed 5.5 on windows (first day with Qt but experienced with several other IDEs) and there are no Examples showing up when I click on Welcome > Examples. Also the dropdown at the top of the main panel is empty.
I installed qt-opensource-windows-x86-winrt-5.5.0. I chose a different directory than the suggested default and can see the files for the Examples. I wonder what I need to change or add to get Creator to see the Examples it came with.Thanks for anything.
