[maemo-developers] Qt SDK + Qt + scratchbox?

[From: Felipe Crochik]

I have tried Qt creator on windows and linux. At this time I write the
applications using Qt Creator, commit my changes to a SVN repository and
then within scratchbox environment I get the changes from the repository,
compile the code and try them on Xephyr/Scratchbox/x86. Assuming that it
works, I then switch the targets on scratchbox to ARM, compile again and scp
to the device so I can test on it. It is anything but simple or efficient.

 

I would like to know from the developers how their development environment
looks like to create qt applications and specifically:

 

The new Qt SDK should make things easier to develop applications for the
n900 but:

1. I couldn't find much of a use for the simulator. The simulator can't
simulate the specific features of the n900. Is there a way to actually
compile the code with the Q_WS_MAEMO_5 and test it on the simulator? Am I
wrong to assume that the simulator is actually a completely different
"device" that only simulates executing Qt code regardless of how the code
will behave on real devices?

 

2. The debug/run on device would be great but again it depends on the
release of PR 1.2. or am I missing something?

 

All this being said by best case scenario would be to be able to use Qt
Creator on linux to develop but compile directly using the scratchbox/X86
target, be able to launch from Qt creator the application on Xephyr and if
possible have a simple way to also compile on scratchbox/ARM from Qt
creator. I assume most of this can be done by tweaking the "building steps"
with some scripts but before I attempt this I would like to know if anybody
has implemented this solution or has a better idea.
