I am sure, it will serve a great purpose for a maemo newbie developer.<br><br>Few suggestions :-<br>1. Adding a GTK based example with dependencies specified in configure.ac (<em>PKG_CHECK_MODULES for gtk flags)</em>, debian/control (Depends,Build-depends) would be useful<br>2. What changes are required for deb packaging a QT program.<br><br>P.S : I have suggested this as you also mentioned about desktop files.<br><br>Regards,<br>Chitti<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div class="plainMail">Message: 17<br>Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:50:45 -0700<br>From: Dave Neary <<a ymailto="mailto:dneary@maemo.org" href="/mc/compose?to=dneary@maemo.org">dneary@maemo.org</a>><br>Subject: Re: Help needed: packaging/distributing
