16 Lug 08 Qt4 Diablo Repository

Sono disponibili da oggi i repository qt4 per Diablo , la nuova piattaforma operativa maemo compatibile con nokia n810 e n800. La comunicazione e il link del repos sia quello per gli utenti che sviluppatori è quella ufficiale del QT4.garage.maemo.org

For Users:

Any user can install and test the new hildonized Qt4 using the applications present in the repository.
You can add the Qt4 repositories/catalougues just clicking Click here to look the applications installable from this repository.

For Developers:

Qt4 Diablo Repository contains all the dependencies to build Qt4 in your maemo SDK environment.
You can use it adding the lines below in the your /etc/apt/sources.list file. deb http://qt4.garage.maemo.org/ diablo user
deb-src http://qt4.garage.maemo.org/ diablo user

There isn’t any Qt4 source package in the diablo repository, because if you want to build Qt4, you can check out the “fresh” SVN source code with the command
svn checkout https://garage.maemo.org/svn/qt4/trunk/qt4-x11-4.4.0

You can run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b to build the debian packages, or you can build and install directly Qt4 in the Unix way:
./configure -hildon -prefix "/usr"
make
make install

Tips ‘n tricks: If you have modified only some files of a specified target (eg: src/gui/widgets) and you want to speed up the build process you can run make and make install in the target directory (eg: src/gui) that you are modified.

Commits note: to commit in the qt4 repository you need to be a maemo Qt4 developer. Any external developer can contribute to this project sending his patches to us via forum or mail.
