Interested in developing for Sailfish?
 

Okey dokey,

Obviously for those already onboard, this is of no use to you.

However if you are new to programming or are just seeking some guidance or refresher training in Qt/QML you may be insterested to know that people involved with Maemo/MeeGo didn't all move to Jolla...

Sotiris Makrygiannis is co-founder and CEO of Eliademy (.com) which provides an online and open learning environment.

they are also on FB for those that do that sort of thing.

community suggestions were raised, after the initial Sailfish SDK release, asking if they would consider hosting on-line tutorials for Jolla, giving instruction and training for those wishing to get started in programming for Sailfish.

Registration is quick and easy and you may find something there that can help you get started.

You can touch base with them via twitter @eliademy. they are friendly and keen to assist.

Good luck

I've knocked up a very basic pyside/qml "Hello world" app:
https://github.com/mattaustin/sailfi...ide-helloworld

It shows the basics of launching a qml view using pyside.

Updated 1st post with "unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK" tip, items 8 & 9 and section "Requested features".

More requested features for Sailfish SDK beta ?

Re: Sailfish SDK Alpha released
 

What added benefits will an updated SDK using Qt Quick 2 and Qt5 bring? Will it make porting applications easier? Will it make things faster/smoother or will it mostly add benefits for Jolla custom UI?

Re: Sailfish SDK Alpha released
 

QtQuick2.0 has openGL rendering support https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/qt5-intro.html

We dont 100% sure we see Qt5 in sailfish but look promising thanks to hint in PDF released this week...

I tried to build an example app, but I'm getting an error
although the directory exists and in the terminal I can cd to it

/home/opt is a mount point of an external partition

Re: Sailfish SDK Alpha released
 

Exactly that's the problem. The Mer VM cannot see it if it's on another partition.

Re: Sailfish SDK Alpha released
 

Even though if it's the same partition mer vm is installed?

Beside this: what's the login for the mer sdk shell? nemo + nemo and root + nemo don't work.

Re: Sailfish SDK Alpha released
 

root + rootme

Re: Sailfish SDK Alpha released
 

or:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/mer-qt-creator-rsa root@localhost -p 2222
