Re: QT for OS2008

Great news, well done.

Does the lack of hardware keyboard rule out the N800 from this project?

Re: QT for OS2008

As a long-time Zaurus user, I really like the huge application base, but I find
two programs indespensible: the PIM suite kdepimpi (also known as KO/PI) and
the password manager
zsafe.

The news that Qt has been compiled for the Nokia is terrific. I know that there's an open source version of Qtopia as well, but I don't know the status of getting it onto the Nokia platform.

I have already built Qt 4.3.3 within Scratchbox, and have begun to start looking
a recompiling kdepimpi and zsafe. This process makes me very aware that I am not
a very good software developer...while I it is just possible that I will be able
to get the programs to recompile, I strongly doubt that I'll ever get to truely
porting them to use the Hildon environment.

I'd be extremely grateful for any help or suggestions that you can offer about porting Qt/Qtopia apps to the Nokia.

Thanks!

Re: QT for OS2008

@Rebski:
I think that it's possible.. but i haven't got a working code yet (and i haven't got a maemo device yet!:( ).

@z2n: Qtopia it's not good for Nokia(IMOH), because nokia device uses X11 instead Qtopia uses the framebuffer. So potentially we can use any Qt4 app in your Nokia device!

PS However Kdepimpi seems a KDE3 apps.. why do you using Qt4 to compile it?

Mmmmmhhhh

So the only patch you apparently did looks very very similar to the patch I've submitted here:

I wonder if this is a coincidence that you got the exact same value for maxPathName.. and would be interested to know how you found it..

Or did you just copy paste and put your name on top and "forgot" to at least mention/contact the author?

....

:rolleyes:

I'm seriously thinking of keeping my projects private because of people like you.

A developer made available KOrganizer for the Sharp Zaurus, he called it KDE-PIM and made a beautiful job of it. His url is www.pi-sync.net but that appears to have a problem at the moment.

So I suspect the intention is to take the Zaurus app and make it run on the IT. I could be wrong of course.

Hmmm...the original developer's site does seem to be down. However, the source code (and binaries for Windows & Linux x86) can be found on the kdepimpi sourceforge site.

You're completely correct. I don't think I've got the ability to really port kdepimpi to the Hildon interface, which is why I'm interested in getting Qt running on the N810. The kdepimpi suite can be built for a Qt/X11 environment, or for a Qt/Qtopia environment. I strongly suspect that it'll be easier to build the former for the Nokia, but I'm very interested in getting any guidance from people with more experience with this kind of port.

Re: QT for OS2008

Thanks for the link to Source forge. Information on the developer, username Zautrix, is actually in this screenshot
http://sourceforge.net/project/scree...roup_id=104103

His output for this app was amazing to behold, I hope he is still around as he would be a tremendous asset to the ITT/MID technology.
