The Wizard for Qt Creator Plugin generates code for github actions that won't compile out of the box.

Main issue here is that the build depends on files and directory structures (scripts/build_plugin.py) which seems not shipped by qtcreator packages (normal or dev).

These are only available in qtcreator sources.

Which is the intended way to build plugins?

I assume standalone, that means:

• Install qtcreator.7z and qtcreator_dev.7z into a directory (e.g. QTC_DIR)

• call cmake source of your plugin with QTC_DIR
• ninja, install, etc.
