[Buildroot] Qt5Declarative examples

[Will Wagner]

Hello,

Just started taking a look at Qt5Declarative and noticed that examples 
aren't being built/installed.

Having looked at the .mk files it is easy to conditionally build the 
examples depending on qt5base config option about examples, but I'm 
unsure how best to do the install target step.

In Qt5Base it just does:
cp -dpfr $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/qt/examples/* 
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/qt/examples
to install examples from staging.

This would also work for Qt5Declarative but it seems like a poor 
solution to just copy and paste the same code.

Can anyone think of a better way of doing this? Perhaps define something 
in qt5.mk and use that in both qt5base and qt5declarative?

If I can come up with anything neat I'll submit a patch.

Regards
Will

You can have a look at qt5enginio and qt5websockets packages. They are
installing their examples if BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_EXAMPLES.

There are 3 directories you need to copy for qt5declarative. Following lines will be enough
to copy all of them:

cp -dpfr $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/qt/examples/qml* $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/qt/examples/
cp -dpfr $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/qt/examples/quick $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/qt/examples/
