Yes, and ideally it would be nice if this toolchain would be easy to use with QtCreator.
Some weeks ago, I had a look at writing a Yocto plugin for QtCreator (using Danny/Qt4), and the biggest problem was how you "activate" the toolchain, sourcing the env setup is good when you work in a shell, but it would be better if the toolchain comes with a machine friendly manifest file, this would allow as well to use several yocto toolchains (eg, for different architectures/machines) from within QtCreator.

[Alex] Just an FYI, the current Eclipse Plugin has multiple profile support.


My 2 cents.
