In Qt Creator, examples are missed

Question

Installed Qt Creator 2.8 in ArchLinux Installed qt5-* (* as every related package) using pacman examples were not available in the repositories so I used the one in the AUR, qt5-examples examples are installed under /usr/share/doc/qt/examples qmake-qt5 -query says: ``` QT_SYSROOT: QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/usr QT_INSTALL_ARCHDATA:/usr/lib/qt QT_INSTALL_DATA:/usr/share/qt QT_INSTALL_DOCS:/usr/share/doc/qt QT_INSTALL_HEADERS:/usr/include/qt QT_INSTALL_LIBS:/usr/lib QT_INSTALL_LIBEXECS:/usr/lib/qt/libexec QT_INSTALL_BINS:/usr/lib/qt/bin QT_INSTALL_TESTS:/usr/tests QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS:/usr/lib/qt/plugins QT_INSTALL_IMPORTS:/usr/lib/qt/imports QT_INSTALL_QML:/usr/lib/qt/qml QT_INSTALL_TRANSLATIONS:/usr/share/qt/translations QT_INSTALL_CONFIGURATION:/etc/xdg QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES:/usr/share/doc/qt/examples QT_INSTALL_DEMOS:/usr/share/doc/qt/examples QT_HOST_PREFIX:/usr QT_HOST_DATA:/usr/lib/qt QT_HOST_BINS:/usr/lib/qt/bin QT_HOST_LIBS:/usr/lib QMAKE_SPEC:linux-g++ QMAKE_XSPEC:linux-g++ QMAKE_VERSION:…

Accepted Answer

I know OP asked for archlinux but I faced the same issue with Ubuntu 20.04. To solve it I had to install the following two packages:

```
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-examples qtbase5-doc-html
```

This will show the basic `widget` examples.

Additional examples (e.g. qt quick) can be added by installing them explicitly:

```
sudo apt install qtquickcontrols2-5-examples
```

To actually get them displayed in `qtcreator` I had to install:

```
sudo apt install qt5-doc qt5-doc-html
```

Here is the output of `echo $(apt-mark showmanual | grep -P '(libqt|qt)')`

```
cmake-qt-gui qt5-default qt5-doc qt5-doc-html qtbase5-dev qtbase5-doc-html qtbase5-examples qtcreator qtquickcontrols2-5-examples
```

Edit:

Also make sure to install the qml modules you need, for example:

```
sudo apt install qml-module-qtquick-controls2
```
