QML examples installation is bogus

XMLWordPrintable

      • configure qt5 repo with -make examples -prefix $HOME/dest/qt6-dest-dir
      • ninja && ninja install
      • Most examples (QML or not) run fine
      • Some can't find the "shared" module

      For example:

      $ pwd
/home/builder/dest/qt6-dest-dir/examples/quick/imageelements 
$ ./imageelementsexample 
qrc:/qt/qml/imageelements/imageelements.qml:5:1: module "shared" is not installed 
     import shared as Shared 
     ^
```

      It turns out that in the directory of the example, there is a duplicated hierarchy ( examples/quick/imageelements/examples/quick/imageelements ) containing the needed files:

      $ tree /home/builder/dest/qt6-dest-dir/examples/quick/imageelements
/home/builder/dest/qt6-dest-dir/examples/quick/imageelements
├── examples
│   └── quick
│       └── imageelements
│           └── shared
│               ├── libimageelements_shared.so
│               └── qmldir
└── imageelementsexample

      After moving the shared directory into the same directory as the example, the demo works - thanks to manordheim for debugging it.

      EDIT: I removed all the info specific with cross-compilation, since I verified the bug on a native build too.
