MADDE + Qt 4.7
Maemo 5 PR 1.2 is out with Qt 4.6.2 installed, so developers now can create applications with Qt 4.6 using either the official scratchbox based SDK or MADDE (remember, “MADDE is currently a technology preview.”)
BUT… there are people who prefer “Livin’ on the Edge“. If you are one of those and already want/need to develop with Qt 4.7 (not released yet!) for Maemo 5, using MADDE to build your applications / packages, here is an update to the procedure first published by the troll Harald Fernengel (AKA harryF). Although the title says “on MacOS X”, the steps also work on Linux.
Step-by-step:
- Install MADDE. Download it here.
- If you are not using a Debian based distro, you need to install the “Tools for Debian Packages” package of your distribution (e.g. “deb” on openSUSE, sys-apps/debianutils on Gentoo).
- Download the script
fetch-qt4.7.0~git20100520-0maemo1.shfetch-qt4.7.0~git20100614-0maemo1.sh . This script downloads the libqt4-experimental packages from repository.maemo.org and installs then in your MADDE – Before you run the script, remember to adjust the MADDE_PATH variable according to the path you installed MADDE. - Download
qt4-maemo5-qt4.7.0~git20100520-0maemo1.tar.gzqt4-maemo5-qt4.7.0~git20100614-0maemo1.tar.gz. It contains the Qt tools compiled for the correspondent version, configured for cross compiling. Extract to /opt/qt4-maemo5. - Check if mad is in your PATH.
To build an application using your fresh environment, run /opt/qt4-maemo5/bin/qmake && make .
If you succeeded in the setup process, this should result in a armel binary ready to run on N900. To generate a deb package, you can use the tools offered by MADDE to build a skeleton of debian package and so on.
To run your application on N900, install libqt4-experimental-* packages. If QtQuick (QML) is part of your plans, qmlviewer is in the package qt4-experimental-declarative-qmlviewer .

I’m a bit confused, how is there a preview technology “Maemo Application Development and Debugging Environment” when Maemo is retiring. Will it become Meego Application Development and Debugging Environment? Or is Maemo continuing? Or???

Coming soon to MeeGo and its developer documentation. Good that MeeGo
”
also starts with M so we don’t need to rename anything.

@anselmolsm, thanks. AKA RTFWiki
I mean RTFML
There is an update for libqt4-experimental packages. I’ll update the script ASAP (and try to make it smarter too)
Anselmo!

Você esteve no FSLBH em Betim, mas acredito que nem pudemos nos conhecer. Preciso que entre em contato comigo, por gentileza. Agradeço!
