Description David shiran 2023-12-26 15:29:16 UTC 
As the title says, after install qt 6 examples via zypper,  reopen qtcreator, it will not show any qt6 example!
But if you install qt5 examples, it shows.

Is it a bug or can one fix it himself by some way?
Comment 1 Christophe Marin 2023-12-27 09:34:57 UTC 
In Qt6, the examples are compiled targets, there's no way in the build system to install the example sources.

I suggest reporting it to https://bugreports.qt.io
Comment 2 David shiran 2023-12-30 19:35:21 UTC 
I think it's in a problem introduced by packaging, the difference between qt5/qt6 examples package is:

```bash
$ rpm -ql qt6-base-examples
/usr/lib64/qt6/examples/corelib
/usr/lib64/qt6/examples/corelib/ipc
/usr/lib64/qt6/examples/corelib/ipc/localfortuneclient
/usr/lib64/qt6/examples/corelib/ipc/localfortuneclient/localfortuneclient
/usr/lib64/qt6/examples/corelib/ipc/localfortuneserver
/usr/lib64/qt6/examples/corelib/ipc/localfortuneserver/localfortuneserver
...
```

```bash
$ rpm -ql libqt5-qtbase-examples
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples/README
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples/corelib
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples/corelib/corelib.pro
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples/corelib/ipc
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples/corelib/ipc/README
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples/corelib/ipc/ipc.pro
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples/corelib/ipc/localfortuneclient
/usr/lib64/qt5/examples/corelib/ipc/localfortuneclient/client.cpp
...
```

Do you see the difference? qt5's examples package ships the sources files, but qt6's ships BINARY files!

See the previous comment: It's a change in Qt 6 introduced by upstream.

The upstream suggested copying the example source though.

you can run `zypper si <package name>`, the sources will be in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES.

Closing, there's no action needed for this bug report
