Description
Regarding documentation for Adding Qt Quick Designer Components to Qt Installations at:
https://doc.qt.io/qtdesignstudio/quick-converting-ui-projects.html#adding-qt-quick-designer-components-to-qt-installations
For building the Designer components with CMake, the documentation instructs to use the following command:
...
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path_to_qt_install_directory> <path_to_qtquickdesigner-components>
...
<path_to_qt_install_directory> here might not be explicitly clear for some users as that could be understood as the root installation directory of Qt, for example:
~/Qt
While it actually means the installation folder of that particular version into which the module will be installed. For example:
~/Qt/6.3.1/gcc_64
While this might be clear for experienced users, that is not a very intuitively expressed. Therefore the suggestion is to change the <path_to_qt_install_directory> for example into <path_to_qt_version_install_directory>
Optimally this could be also expressed via an example or two which would be even more explicitly expressed. For example in a similar manner like it is done with Qt for MCUs documentation at:
https://doc.qt.io/QtForMCUs-2.2/qtul-building-from-sources.html#building-qt-quick-ultralite-from-sources
