Custom Widgets loading in Designer, but unable to find headers in Creator

[wysota]

Despite the fact that I have the INSTALLS line, the *.a and *.dll files don't actually get copied to that folder. Up to now I've been manually copying them myself, although I would like to know why this occurs (but this is only a small problem atm...).

Are you running "make install" after the compilation (you might need superuser privileges)?

Now, when I load QT Designer, all my custom widgets show up and work fine. Unfortunately, this isn't the case in any project I create in QT Creator. It has problems finding the header files at compile time. Of course, this makes sense to me, since it doesn't seem like the headers are being copied to any folder.

And where did you copy the headers to?

And nothing. I can't seem to find anything which adequately explains what folder my headers should be placed in, or how to do it automatically via the makefile. And, again, I'm unable to get the .a and .dll files copied without doing so manually.

You can place the headers anywhere you want. Just make sure you add this directory to INCLUDEPATH variable in all projects that need to use those files.
