I love MADDE...!

I made my first Qt hello world app and tried to install from App Manager with local file browsing. It didn't install.

Then I used the terminal and install went okay. I can start the application from command line from terminal. But my application's icon is not appearing in menu.

Is there something more I need to add in my project to make the icon visible in N900's menu?

Sorry if its very basic question, I'm new to Linux development

I'm having the same problem. It seems that making Debian package that would also install the shortcut, is much more complicated compared to Windows installation packages. I do hope that some kind of automatic procedure for this would be incorporated into Qt Creator/MADDE.

Anyway, here is the link for Creating Debian packages for Maemo 5 Qt applications and showing in the application menu. Unfortunately this document seems to apply mostly for ScratchBox. There is more discussion about this in this thread. If you want to make the shortcut manually, take look at this post by krk969.
