Description:
It's a bit disconcerting that when starting qtcreator, there are no examples on the welcome page.

When one installs via a generic Qt SDK installer from downloads.qt-project.org, the examples from the various modules are grouped under a single examples directory. I'm not sure if that's appropriate on Arch, because the modules are in separate packages; so either there should be a single qt5-examples package or several separate ones (qt5-declarative-examples, qt5-base-examples, etc.) qt5-doc is one package though, so examples could be too, IMO. They could go in /usr/share/qt/examples, or /usr/share/doc/qt/examples perhaps.
This task depends upon

Probably since we have a qt5-doc package we should also have a qt5-examples package. We're currently investigating on how this can best be done.

Svenstaro, I know this isn't high priority, just checking on the status.

Eh this is on my list but it's a bit tedious and I'll have to decide how exactly to do this.

I will get this in shortly after qt 5.6 lands this March.

qt5-examples is now in the kde-unstable repo, please test (it should work with Qt 5.5 since nothing is compiled)

Hi,

I also have the bug.
Why wait for qt 5.6?

@babali, does it work if you use qt5-examples from kde-unstable?
Comment by Alexandre Bique (babali) - Thursday, 10 March 2016, 17:48 GMT
Yes!
