Add QtGui private headers

[kshegunov]

Hello,
Is there a way to tell qmake to add the private headers' locations to my include path besides writing them down manually?

NOTE:
I'm well aware that this is not a public API and can change even in minor versions, and that this would break binary compatibility, I just wish to test some code against some private classes.

Kind regards.

Hi,

It should be enough to add QT += gui-private to your .pro file

@SGaist
It worked like a charm. Many thanks!

You're welcome ! :)

how to do the same when using make build system?

I tried the following:

find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Core Quick QuickPrivate REQUIRED)

but QuickPrivate module is not found

Hi,

See this thread.
It was inspired by the technique used by the KDAB folks for GammaRay.

Hopefully, once this ticket is closed, everything should be easier using CMake
