Kate Alhola's Blog - Porting MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan Qt Quick Components

So when I run my QML project on the N900, I get:

Remote process started.
"zppy" "0.4.1" starting at "16:26:08.981" "2011-09-07"

QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::loadFinished() to Zppy::analyzeTiming()
QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::loadFailed() to Zppy::loadFailed()Segmentation fault
Killing remote process(es)...

It looks like the ProgressBar.qml tries to include module "Qt.labs.components", which isn't there? (My code includes "Qt.labs.components.native 1.0", which is where ProgressBar.qml is found.

Any ideas?

Hmm no icons for qt-components in N900CE

Hmm I had problem related to qt-components the qt components examples didn't work on N900CE and the console prints alot of "QML BorderImage: Failed to get image from provider: image://theme/[somename]" messages?

Is this related to the missing icons? Cause package 'qt-components-base-icons' doesnt exist at:

Kate, there are Qt 4.7.2 packages already in ppa:forumnokia/fn-ppa for Lucid. However fresh Qt Quick Components are only for Naty.

Commonality, not porting

That will be subject of my next blog, how to port applications to environments with different UX, incl MeeGo-UX, Symbian and Desktop Qt Quick components.

10.04 Lucid has Qt 4.6.3 and Ubuntu version of Components require least Qt Quick 1.0 , in practice Qt 4.7.2 . Qt Quick 1.1 is recommended and I needed to do some back porting to get them work with Qt Quick 1.0

I really like to try Harmattan Qt Quick Components. Will there be also build for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS?

Great news I have already started to make an app for N9 using scratchbox and Xepyr now I finally can port it to N900 CE and test on that device until N9 is released :-D

Commonality, not porting

The trick we want to see, though, are the best techniques for having the same code base work on:

* MeeGo 1.2 (tablet on ExoPC and handset on N900 CE)
* Harmattan
* Symbian^3
* Maemo 5

"Porting" applications between these different environments isn't the same as having a largely common codebase which can work on different OSes.
