Hi, thank you for testing!

I asked my colleague Rajiv about your points and here is his answer. Note that you can find the QtonPi devs and contributors at the [QtonPi] mailing list, where questions get answered pretty fast. Thanks!

on my Precice x64, hello compiles but fails to run because tar is not installed on the pi.

Known issue. See,

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTONPI-11

We'll fix it in QtonPi 0.3

I was expecting a full develop-on-device image with X and QtCreator and one click to run hello world, but I understand this is not the case.
My only proposal taking into consideration the nature of the image as a target only is that it should be a less-step procedure for installation.

Yes, that's the end goal. Hopefully once we open up the build tools and some of the packages, it'll be much easier to accept contributions and we can get there before Qt5 launch.

For example tar should be installed by default on the pi, and networking should be already enabled. I will play a bit with it and report back.

We don't need tar to be on the device to run the "hello world" program, as we scp the files over. There are two ways of getting tar on the image.

1. Do a "sudo yum install tar" on the device (or)
2. Build yourself a custom sysroot/device image as documented here,

(Btw, the wiki migration has messed up a few things. I'll also take
a look at it)
