[PATCH] WIP: use kirigami plugin instead of embedding in qrc

[Dirk Hohndel]

I continue to be unable to build the plugin for iOS. Fundamentally it boils down to the fact that I can’t figure out how to get anything that links against Qt to build with cmake when building for iOS. Tomaz actually gave up on that for Subsurface-mobile a while ago and decided to add a whole separate qmake file for the iOS build. I’m thinking this may be what we need here as well because I once again spent two hours on getting this fundamentally empty plugin to compile for iOS with absolutely nothing to show for and I find that rather frustrating.

To make matters worse, Tomaz no longer has access to a Mac so he can’t help, either. Which means that right now a Kirigami version that requires the plugin is a non-starter for Subsurface-mobile on iOS. I simply don’t understand how this is supposed to work and nothing that I find online seems to address this combination in a way that I can follow. Not sure what the solution here should be. A qmake file for the kirigami plugin maybe?
