It's perfectly possible to have packages built for PR1.1 in the SDK. Just install the qt4-maemo5-* packages from extras-devel and use

Code:

/opt/qt4-maemo5/bin/qmake

to configure. After PR1.2 is out just switch to /usr/bin/qmake and you'll use the default libs.

Is there anything else one should do really?

qmake?

Sorry no idea what you are on about

If it is something everyone can use, i'd really recommend someone explaining it and putting it on the wiki

Most likely the extras-devel version of PyQt, that one is for PR1.2

Thanks a lot for this post.

I have some question about this :

There is no side effect to do this ?

App who need Qt 4.5.3 still working ?

Before to do ' apt-get upgrade' , I need to disable the SDK repo ?

None that I know of.

As far as I know, yes.
(There is something about a binary compatibility promise on Qt's site, but I'm not sure if it applies here.)

Yes. As I wrote, it will brick your device if you upgrade more stuff from it. (It did brick Andy1210's device.)

Hope this helps!

Hi all,
I remember reading about pr1.2 shipping with different Extras repository binding (distribution = fremantle-1.2) a while back:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/list...velopers/59177
*it was also announced in maemo weekly news.

Did any of that happen eventually or did they find a better solution?

If it did, after installing qt 4.6 packages as the libqt4-* packages on the rootfs (if i'm not mistaken that's what this thread is about), should i also change something in the application manager repositories?

I want to start testing the Nokia Qt SDK on my N900, but i also use that device as my primary cellphone / gadget.

thanks.

I also heard of the fremantle-1.2 stuff, but I'm not sure why is it necessary. Everything that required the former Qt version still works for me.

Perhaps I am just lucky, but I couldn't find anything that is not working because of it, yet.

If you do, please post it in this thread for everyone to see.

QProgressDialog does not get off the screen when calling close(). With PR 1.2 or libqt4-maemo5 you need to call accept() or reject(). That's the only difference I've found.

This is getting even more ridiculous. So this is why they have to mess up the repositories?

This may as well be a bug.
At least, it breaks source compatibility. Did you contact the Qt team about it?

Not yet, I just changed my code and thought I may have been wrong when using close(). Although it works on all other platforms ... (Someone should verify that)
