Bug 951821 – Qt Design Studio

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description Arniiiii 2025-03-22 12:38:01 UTC]

is it possible to get Qt Design Studio on gentoo? It seems it has a free version.

I tried googling everywhere the Qt Design Studio with "gentoo" keyword in it and there's nothing.

AFAIU it's a modern Qt's software for editing QML better

It seems it is included in whatever we have in ::gentoo

from https://wiki.qt.io/QtDesignStudio :
```
Where to get it

Qt Design Studio is available in a 100% free community edition and a commercial version, both of which contain components and features to improve productivity.

You can get Qt Design Studio from either of the following sources

    a. Head to our Qt Design Studio landing page, and click the “Try Qt for Free” button. This will take you to download page. Click "Download Qt Online Installer" then you can start your 10-day trial. You can always contact us if you want to extend the trial. This will give you the full commercial license. Visit here for a free community edition.
    b. Download the offline installer from the Qt Account page (restricted access)
    c. Build the Qt Design Studio from sources.
```

```
Visit here for a free community edition.
```

The link goes to nothing: https://www.qt.io/download-open-source



So, I guess:

1. The community version exists
2. It can be built

QDS is based on qt-creator, and the sources are in the same repo using the qds branches[1].

That aside, I have no interest in packaging another branch of qt creator personally. Qt Creator is already bit of a pain to maintain.
