    Default Where to install plugins created with Qt 6.5 in Debian ?

    I installed Qt 6.5 in Debian and created a custom widget (plugin) with Qt Creator. Where should I copy the compiled .so file so that Qt Designer can see it among the widgets ?

    It is considered rude to post the same question to multiple forums.

    Please use CODE tags when posting source code so it is more readable. Click "Go Advanced" and then the "#" icon to insert the tags. Paste your code between them.

    I put my .so plugin in the folder but in Qt Designer going from the menu: Tools > Form Editor... > About Qt Designer Plugins the copied plugin is not displayed, even by refreshing.

    Have you searched from "/" to see if there are any other Qt directories? Or alternatively, have you executed "which designer" to find the executable's location?

    Thumbs down Re: Where to install plugins created with Qt 6.5 in Debian ?

    I'm giving up, I've tried them all, I've also tried again on Windows 10 and nothing has been resolved. I'm bored with Qt, they don't know how to set up a precise environment, with the right versions for its tools.

    QtCreator uses its own Qt and QtDesigner package. Place your files in the <Qt parent directory>/QtCreator/lib/Qt/plugins/designer directory.

    In my Debian 11 distribution qtcreator (Qt 5.15.2) is installed in several places:
    /usr/bin/qtcreator

    qmake:
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake

    designer:
    /usr/lib/qt5/bin/

    So where should I put the plugin in question ?

    I basically work under Windows but show the structure of the /usr/bin/qtcreator directory.
    P.S.
    In Qt Creator choose from menu : Help -> System Information.
    In section Library Info You can see where is located Qt used by Qt Creator.

    Thanks for the advice, I'll try to see from the menu. I did as you told me. I am attaching the document in question
    cartelle_Qt.txt
    so where ? I found: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/designer/
    I put my plugin in the correct folder that I listed here, and here's what I see:
    Istantanea_mio_plugin.jpg
    Qt Code:
    1. Failed to extract plugin metadata...
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    What did I do wrong in creating the plugin ?
