Code:

dpkg-genchanges: warning: unknown information field 'Build-Depends' in input data in package's section of control info file

Build-Depends needs to be on in the first part of the file (the "source" bit, rather than the "package" bit).

This is what I did now:

Code:

Source: countdowntimer

Section: user/other

Priority: extra

Maintainer: Sascha Makela <sascha.makela@gmail.com>

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), libqt4-phonon

Standards-Version: 3.7.3

Homepage: <insert the upstream URL, if relevant>



Package: countdowntimer

Architecture: any

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}

Description: A simple countdown timer

 <insert long description, indented with spaces>

Here is the latest package, but it still gives an error:

Here is the latest package, but it still gives an error:

dpkg doesnt install automatically all dependencies.
apt-get install does that.

not sure if there is any option to dpks , will have to check that, so when you upload to extras-devel that will be taken care , dont worry.

for now just do

apt-get install libqt4-phonon on you N900 to install the dependency.

Re: Qt Project: Countdown timer

Yes, as krk969 says, dpkg -i will not pull down additional dependencies. The Build-Depends is a red-herring.

If your package was in a repository, the Application Manager, or apt-get would install libqt4-phonon automatically. However, you need to install it yourself ahead of time:

Code:

apt-get install libqt4-phonon

Again, this isn't something someone using your package from Extras would need to do. Finally, if you're a PR1.1 tester, running 2.2009.51-1, beware of #7742.

Re: Qt Project: Countdown timer

Hi,

I did the apt-get install libqa4.phonon and installation was successful after that. But it doesn't show the logo/icon in applications/More... folder or Application manager - only the default blue-square one.

But otherwise it looks working ok.

If it works for you can I deliver some information which could help you to solve this... my countdowntimer version is 0.3-1.

Re: Qt Project: Countdown timer

Hi,

Some more testing:
* When 00:00 you press 'Start' the timer starts
* Then if you for example wait 10s and press stop
* the label in button is 'Continue' at this point

So don't know what people generally think but when pressing 'Continue' I would assume that it goes onwards from this 00:10. But it starts to go down... 00:-09, 00:-08...

So this is a little bit wierd behaviour. Althought I think the idea is good and maybe someone would need that kind of functionality. But maybe the 'Continue' label should be changed or there could be 2 button 'Continue' and something like 'go to 0' or so... So this is usability issue in my mind.

And the minus sign goes a little bit funny place... maybe -00:09, -00:08... or then just leave the minus out. You don't have the minus when pressing for reset - 1 min - Start.

(Altought I'm not sure if you are going to develop this further than just to get the idea to build a sw to N900 or if you want people to test this - but this just came to my mind)

Cheers,
Jux

Hmm... no help :)

At least other installed applications added the icon (Firefox, eCoach, Hermes, ...). Or do you mean that this is QT specific issue?

Re: Qt Project: Countdown timer

Thanks a lot lads of all your invaluable help an patience. :) I'm progressing rather well with this app and I'm learning many things that are useful for further Maemo development. :)

Anyway, my current issue is Optification. This is what I've done:

src.pro

Code:

QT += phonon

TARGET = countdowntimer

TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += qtmain.cpp \

    settings.cpp \

    form.cpp 

HEADERS += settings.h \

    form.h 

FORMS += settings.ui \

    form.ui 

PREFIX = ../debian/countdowntimer/usr



unix {

BINDIR = $$PREFIX/opt/maemo

DATADIR =$$PREFIX/share



DEFINES += DATADIR=\"$$DATADIR\" PKGDATADIR=\"$$PKGDATADIR\"



#MAKE INSTALL



INSTALLS += target desktop icon64



  target.path =$$BINDIR



  desktop.path = $$DATADIR/applications/hildon

  desktop.files += countdowntimer.desktop



  icon64.path = $$DATADIR/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps

  icon64.files += ../data/64x64/countdowntimer.png



}

countdowntimer.desktop:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Version=0.3

Type=Application

Name=Countdown Timer

Exec=/usr/opt/maemo/countdowntimer

Icon=countdowntimer

X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true

X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

This seems to install countdowntimer in the "correct" (I'm not at all sure if this is the place where it should be) location. But the shortcut won't work and when I try to run it from the terminal, I get the following error even when I'm in the same directory and I can see it there:

Code:

/bin/sh: countdowntimer: not found

I have noticed that in some apps I only get the proper icon after I install/update something else. It's weird, I know... :confused:
