I've created my little application using Qt Creator 2.0. Now I want to release it to Maemo Extras. .deb package is succesfully created. However Maemo Extras assistant requires .changes file.

Question: where I can get this .changes file? Using Nokia Qt SDK on Windows XP.

Unfortunately this you cannot do within the IDE, but you can use MADDE terminal for it. I have written a blog-post about how to do it for a desktop-widget. I think starting from scratch might be easier, than modifying the template which is created by qt creator. Further there is a good packaging guide in the wiki.

If you use the blog-post there are some modifications to be done.

1) the desktop file is just for desktop widgets, but here is an application example. The desktop file is needed that your application shows up in the task launcher. Otherwise you can just start it from command-line.
2) build dependencies is:

Code:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5),libqt4-dev
3) no additional application dependencies needed, so it is just:

Code:
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
4) use mad dpkg-buildpackage -sa -S instead of mad dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

If you have any problems, let me know.

Daniel

By coincidence I have that page open on another tab and I'm just about to try this, by the way, on windows too. I will let you know from my new machine if you have blown up this one with your crazy extra steps

@kojacker: kinda hard to send you PMs when your inbox is full

Don't have a windows install at hand... How about QtSDK\Maemo\4.6.2\madbin\mad.cmd ? Anything like that ?

heh yeah I got the email alert, I just deleted a couple of old pms

No mad. anything, just mad and mad-admin in non-executable form.

Edit: whoops, there is a mad.cmd in the madbin folder!

Here's the contents
@setlocal
@PATH C:\\NokiaQtSDK\\Maemo\\4.6.2\bin;%PATH%
@env.exe /bin/sh --login /bin/mad %*
I replaced the mad/mad.exe in the custom command with mad.cmd but I'm still having no joy with this. It's not generating any .tar.gz file, and the changes file made is not being accepted by the Maemo Extras assistant

Maemo Extras Assistant

File upload error. You didn't upload a valid .changes file.
Here's the compiler output from the new custom step, I've changed to red font where it's highlighted in red in the compiler output.

I can deploy and run the deb as expected. Can anyone figure out what the problem is from the above and help me to get this working for Maemo Exras?

Hmm... the red stuff (and the deb itself) is actually not unexpected, the output is sorta what it should be. Can you send me the changes and dsc files that you got ?
