I felt I was spamming this forum a bit with tech questions, I have started a new thread to follow my "app->package->icon-> install" journey.

i hope at the end of this journey we can have a step by step guide for the community on how to add the icon and deploy an app with icon with Madde.

The thread is here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...257#post478257

Please look in and advise, I'm getting closer (app installed with blue square icon now).

Thanks for all the help everyone,

Shep

Hot tip:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...d_Distributing

mentions that if you want to have icon in application managed you
need to create 48x48 pixel png image and then add it as base64-encoded to the debian/control file.

With MADDE, until helper tool is created, the base64-data can be achieved with the following way:

Code:

perl -MMIME::Base64 -ne 'print decode_base64($_)' < icon48x48file.png

Or one could use the following site as I did:

Hello hello
Is there any ETA on a version of MADDE that works with Qt 4.6.0?...I just bumped in to the 'This file was generated using the moc from 4.6.0. It cannot be used with the include files from this version of Qt'.

Will try fooling MADDE to believe the MOC is ok and see what happens :-)

Yes, I would like to know that too. And the integration with Qt Creator. What about that?

All those working with MADDE: You are doing a great job. Thank you very much!

Just could you please do it faster?

Yes, my guess is that enabling (relatively easy) development on windows-platform will bring a lot of software to the N900.

And by the way, Qt 4.6.1 just came out

Hi all,

I finally finished packaging my 1st app with an icon and deployed it to the N900.

I have added a page to the wiki to describe how to do this here.

I'd appreciate your feedback.

hey, this looks good. We were planning to offer more documentation on MADDE, like a step by step guide as you have started during this week. Would you be ok, if I would integrate that into the page you have started?

And thanks a lot for your effort. It's nice!

Cheers Daniel

Good work!

Quick first comment:

Code:

mad pscreate -t qt_simple projectname

helps with 'projectname' directory creation. Using this
also removes the need for 'mad qmake' before
'mad dpkg-buildpackage' (as it adds running qmake to debian/rules).

Of course, I'm standing on the shoulders of giants here...I just clobbered together bits and pieces I gleaned from the forums...I'm more than happy to have it integrated into anything else.
