Hello guys.
I recently started to move from the Symbian wagon to the Maemo wagon, but I'm still in a very preliminary stage.
Being Qt the framework that Nokia is going to endorse across their platform, for me it represent the obvious choice to go forward.
Now, I set up my Fremantle SDK, installed Qt packages from "Extras" and "Extras-devel" etc... and arrived to compile apps written in Qt on Maemo and run within the Scratchbox environment. I have to say: piece of cake
(thanks to Linux, not me :P).
Problem is: Qt doesn't seems to be properly working.
I followed a bit of discussions about Qt, the fact that the Hildon Widgets are not written (yet) etc, but I'm facing problems that are very "weird".
For example:
1) I don't really manage to go online: one of my test app is a self-cooked browser and it doesn't seems to get a network connection.
2) The UI is unresponsive and looks like whatever I click nothing happens (or, worse, crashes)
3) I saw that without running Hildon within the Xypher, somehow the app works... but the absence of a DBUS session makes it crash straight after.
So, I'm wondering:
is the Qt4 lib available on the repositories stable?
is it advisable to compile Qt from the Git repository and try again with a fresh build of it?
If yes, which branch?
From the GIT repository of Qt Maemo looks like a guy, Antonio Aloisio, is doing a lot of work and it would be great to have his idea here as well (Antonio, se ci sei batti un colpo - PS Ma sei di Napoli?).
Hope anyone can give me some hints.
In the meantime: thanks in advance.
Ivan
