QSound::play("sounds/bells.wav");
Let us assume that I would have this sound file in the sounds directory, which is in the project root directory in the PC. How can I include this entire directory?

Alternatively, how can I use Maemo "system" sounds?

If you want to embed a external file, you might take a look at the Qt Resource System[1].

Don't know about MADDE, but you can include any file/dir you wish in your Debian package.

Excellent! Good to see more devs coming onboard!

i put install-madde-xmas.exe in D:\, and install it again, all of things in D:\MADDE. and it's works fine.

Had exactly the same problem - in my case I was trying to install from H:\Share\Downloads\Programming & Development\Maemo\MADDE\win32 to D:\MADDE - somehow moving the installer to the same drive I'm installing to went just fine.

I thought it was a glitch at my place or that it didn't like absurdly deep trees, so I didn't report it.

Now if only someone could explain me how to make a Debian package that would also do a shortcut for my app, then in few days I could brag that I started making apps for Maemo 5 already last decade!

Ummm, Sasler, don't mean to be a year-counting nazzi, nor a troll, but you have a full year more of the current decade when it comes to counting years of the new era a.k.a. `Anno Domini`...

Back to the subject, I think that the easiest way would be for your app to add a .desktop shortcut @ /usr/share/applications/hildon ... Don't know if that's a proper way, tho, still waiting for my device to start playing w/ it...

mad make

mad dpkg-buildpackage

It creates the source/binary package, but it gives the following error when trying to create the debian package:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `liblsimple.so.1.0.0', needed by `install'. Stop.

Also, there is no qt_lib_simple template in the environment I downloaded.

Thanks for pointing a bug. This issue is fixed for next release.

Thanks for this suggestion. Unfortunately, after playing around with this quite a bit and wondering why it doesn't work, I found the following in QSound Class Reference :

Note that QSound does not support resources. This might be fixed in a future Qt version.

So, are there any other ways I could do this?

Thank you zwer and funpig for finding a bug in our Windows installer.

Now when installing MADDE to another disk in Windows the installation fails in cases when the installation folder is created during installation and the path contains more than one folders (as the default path C:\MADDE\0.5).
For example when installing from C:\ disk to E:\MADDE\0.5 and there is no E:\MADDE folder beforehand, installation fails, but when installing to E:\MADDE installation is successful.

We have corrected this bug and the correction will be available in next release!

What I learned with Phonon (I think 4.6 will call it just MultiMedia), is that you can just point to anything in the file system. No resources needed. I guess QSound works the same. You just need to figure out the path to the sound file.

I think that was the only part that was a bit complicated in making two mp3s play at the same time. (tried phonon by making a simple cross fader application)

Here's a snippet to open a file chooser dialog and give the chosen file to a Phonon::MediaObject :

Code:

void MainWindow::openFile()
{
    fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, "Open File", "/home/tekojo/", "mp3 (*.mp3)");
    mediaObject->setCurrentSource(Phonon::MediaSource(fileName));
    ui->textEdit->setText(fileName);
}

Then just use mediaObject->play().

Hope I got your problem right.
