[Buildroot] [RFC PATCH] qt5tools: Install QDesignerExportWidget include

[Alan Yaniger]

To build a custom widget exposed to QtDesigner, the widget should 
include the file QtUiPlugin/QDesignerExportWidget. Without this patch,
the include file is not installed in ${STAGING_DIR}/usr/include/qt5. 

The file QDesignerExportWidget in the qt5tools tarball is just an 
include of the file qdesignerexportwidget.h, which itself includes the
file qdesignerexportwidget.h, identified by a relative path 
"../../src/designer/src/uiplugin/qdesignerexportwidget.h". That 
relative path will not work in the staging dir, so just copy 
qdesignerexportwidget.h into staging, and give it the name 
QtUiPlugin/QDesignerExportWidget.

If anyone has a better way to install this file, using the Qt build 
system instead of "cp", I would be happy to revise the patch.

Would have expected no dependency for the non-plugin-code, but even
the example from [1],[2] uses the QDesingerExportWidget include in the
non-plugin-code...

I would prefer some solution like:

diff --git a/analogclock.h b/analogclock.h
index b81a81e..1ac4b0f 100644
--- a/analogclock.h
+++ b/analogclock.h

+#endif

to use QDesignerExportWidget/QDESIGNER_WIDGET_EXPORT only for the plugin compile...

Yes.

No, you located the wrong file from build/qt5tools-5.9.1/include/QtUiPlugin/qdesignerexportwidget.h
the right one would be build/qt5tools-5.9.1/src/designer/src/uiplugin/qdesignerexportwidget.h
which is the one which would be installed from the build/qt5tools-5.9.1/src/designer/src/uiplugin/Makefile

Use the install_targ_headers target in build/qt5tools-5.9.1/src/designer/src/uiplugin/Makefile
but this will install some more (unneeded) headers...

This has nothing to do with the qtplugininfo executable, add an
extra config option in the Config.in file, e.g.:

  config BR2_PACKAGE_QT5TOOLS_DESIGNER_HEADERS
         boot "qtdesigner minimal headers"
         help
           Install the qtdesigner minimal header files for
           the QtUiPlugin/QDesignerExportWidget include (does
           not compile/install the complete designer).

Change to install qt5tools-5.9.1/include/QtUiPlugin/QDesignerExportWidget
and qt5tools-5.9.1/src/designer/src/uiplugin/qdesignerexportwidget.h
into the $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/include/qt5/QtUiPlugin directory...
