3D Dreaming for KDE

I just created some tar.gz packages containing a compiled Qt4.6 for Maemo 5.

Package for N900
Package for the final Maemo 5 Scratchbox SDK

The packages are compiled optified already, so untarring happens to /home/opt/maemo/usr/*

Installation Instructions
N900:
(this will also remove the ActiveSync stuff when you have the Maemo Summit N900 software and you cannot reinstall this currently, so if you need ActiveSync: do not continue)
1. Transfer the *n900.tar.gz to you device
2. Enable the extras repo
3. Install rootsh
4. start xterm
5. ‘sudo gainroot’
6. ‘apt-get remove libqt4*’
6. ‘cd /’
7. ‘tar xzf .’
8. ‘vi /etc/profile’
9. Edit file to have ‘export PATH=”/opt/maemo/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin/$PATH”‘ & ‘export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”/opt/maemo/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH”‘
10. Switch off and switch on device.
11. In xterm you can now start something like ‘designer’ (I left some stuff in there :-$)

Scratchbox:
1. copy the file to a location reachable from within your FREMANTLE_ARMEL target.
2. ‘cd /’
3. ‘fakeroot tar xzf .’
4. ‘vi ~/.bashrc’
5. Edit file to have ‘export PATH=”/opt/maemo/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin/$PATH”‘ & ‘export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”/opt/maemo/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH”‘
6. Log-out and re-log-in into your scratchbox (or ‘source ~/.bashrc’)

(I have no idea how to create Debian packages and am currently mostly on Windows, I compiled all of this on my external HDD, so forgive me the stupid packaging method)

The packages on N900 still contain ‘qmake’ but this doesn’t work since it is compiled for x86.

And then an image of something actually compiled for the device:

Pong for Uni wall running on N900 with Qt4.6

This app will run on my University’s LED-wall (3×13 meters big) controlled by my N900 during the week, I’ll make a video!

This is what it looks like now:
