Qtopia

[Michael Schuerig]

I apologize that this question doesn't fit squarely with this group's
topic, but haven't found a better place to ask.

I'd like to dabble in programming for the Qtopia platform, however, as
far as I can tell, there are no packages for the current 4.x edition
development tools, although there is an older qt3-dev-tools-embedded
package.

Can anyone give me a hint how to install the necessary dev tools without
damaging my existing Qt installation?

Michael

No, there is no Qtopia in Debian (at least yet, I may give it  a try, as it
would be useful to the QDE project).

You should (if I remember well enough) use the --prefix to install qt for
embedded systems in another place, anyway I think the default is /usr/local,
in which you are on the safe side.

Are you wanting just Qt/embedded or the full Qtopia stack?

There is somewhere in pkg-kde svn a packaging startup that can easily be
extended. But just for Qt/Embdedded.

Qutopia holds a tremendous possibility for eliminating much of the
unnecessary complexity of the whole program stack.

Well.. I don't think the world is ready yet to kill X11.

As far as I've figured it out, it works like this

- Download a snapshot from ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/snapshots/.
I've got qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080810.tar.gz.
- Unpack it somewhere.
- Create an empty installationa directory, in my
case /usr/local/opt/qtopia, and cd there.
- Run <prefix>/qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080810/configure.
- Run make
- Run make install

At least it ought to work like that. I'm stumped because configure/qmake
insists to use the default gcc/g++, 4.3.1 in my case, which does not
compile some of the code. Some of the problems are minor, I finally
stumbled for good over a dynamic_cast. gcc/g++ 4.2 will presumably
work, however, I haven't found the switch, env variable or whatever
else it takes, to tell configure/qmake to use /usr/bin/g++-4.2.

Do you happen to know where it is? It can save me some time (I am currently
digging the svn without success)
