how to import a QML Component resource in a QML file - qt

Question

I have the following directory structure:
ui/
|- resources.qrc
|- qml/
|- main_window_presenter.qml
|- MyPresenter.qml
resources.qrc contents:
<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>qml/MyPresenter.qml</file>
<file>qml/main_window_presenter.qml</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
MyPresenter.qml contents:
import QtQuick 2.11
FocusScope {
id: root
property Item view
property QtObject model
Component.onCompleted: {
root.view.anchors.fill = root
root.view.focus = true
}
}
main_window_presenter.qml contents:
import "."
MyPresenter {
id: root
}
main.cpp contents:
#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.load(":/qml/main_window_presenter.qml");
return app.exec();
}
When I run the application I get
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
file::/qml/main_window_presenter.qml:1 import "." has no qmldir and no namespace
If I delete import "." at main_window_presenter.qml I get
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
file::/qml/main_window_presenter.qml:3 MyPresenter is not a type
I think I shouldn't need an import statement because they are in the same directory. I am using meson build system with this relevant part in meson.build(exe_moc_headers are defined before):
qt5_module = import('qt5')
exe_processed = qt5_module.preprocess(moc_headers : exe_moc_headers, qresources : 'ui/resources.qrc')

As #eyllanesc suggested QQuickView works instead of QQmlApplicationEngine:
#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQuickView>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
QQuickView* view{new QQuickView};
view->setSource(QUrl("qrc:///qml/main_window_presenter.qml"));
view->show();
return app.exec();
}
I might have figured it myself if the error message wasn't indicating that type is not found by saying "MyPresenter is not a type". This led me to believe that its a referencing issue.
