Agreed :-)

We're using Qt and, before using BB to compile a 'ui' file, we need to have
a plugin
(itself built using BB) in a directory where Qt can find it.

That's what I think too.
A possible approach would be to pass to the ui compiler the path to the
directory
where the plugin is built. The problem is that the plugin depends on a set
of libraries
which must be on the path...

Many thanks for your help.
