Now there is a tar'ed toolchain to install in scratchbox (also build in scratchbox).

Removed the outdated instructions, see http://wiki.maemo.org/Qt5-Maemo5.

Please try to build some examples (e.g. from https://qt.gitorious.org/+qt5-maemo5...aemo5/examples) and/or your favorite Qt5/Qt4 program, run them on the device and report the results in the wiki: Qt5-Maemo5/WhatWorks.

Some notes:

• requires linaro-gcc.4.7 (http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU-thumb_too...cc4.7.2-linaro) and thumb2-support on the device (i.e. power kernel >= 51 or cssu-kernel), the installation of the entire cssu-thumb repo should not be required
• be aware of the Text rendering bug in QtQuick2, so use TextWA instead of Text for simple labels if they are unreadable (only supports text, color and font.* attributes and everything inherited from Item)
• the Maemo5 Widgets and the style are not ported to Qt5 and probably never will, because the platform abstraction nearly requires a rewrite of those
• to test them on the device do the same as in scratchbox, but remove the directories: include, doc, mkspecs, bin (you may want to keep some tools in bin)
• qmake is build as arm binary, so it has to be emulated on the host and may not be very fast (no harm if you only have a single or few .pro files)
