Mac: building plugandpaint. QT_BUILD_TREE issue

[babazaroni]

Hello,

I'm trying to get Creator to build from the .pro file in 4.7/tools/plugandpaint.

It's pretty clear that QT_BUILD_TREE is not being set. I can edit the .pro file, but I really want to solve the root problem and find out what the best practices way of getting QT_BUILD_TREE set.

The lib statement in the .pro file:

LIBS           = -L$${QT_BUILD_TREE}/examples/tools/plugandpaint/plugins -lpnp_basictools

And the resulting error message.
ld: warning: directory '/examples/tools/plugandpaint/plugins' following -L not found
ld: library not found for -lpnp_basictools_debug

I don't believe setting QT_BUILD_TREE correctly would resolve this as libpnp_basicictools_debug is not in any path with 'examples' in it.

I've downloaded the binary version and qtdemo now runs properly.
