But you can compile it yourself:
- Download the source code of QRemoteControl.
- Install the QtSDK.
- Open the pro-file with Qt-Creator and launch the build (or run qmake make from the command line)

However its not garanteed that it will no have any build errors. As I already said the only thing that is OS-dependent, is the keyboard emulation.


Got my N9 today, already fixed some bugs and created a new more native looking theme:

Is it maybe possible to make a Debug build or to use a network sniffer to make sure the packets are reaching the server?

As expected it didn't compile in the first try. There are 16 Errors all related to 'globalFakeKey' not being declared in this scope, the scope being the qglobalfakekey.cpp file. Any suggestions? I'll play around for a while but the last time i program was looooong time ago and well i will have to study the code to try to understand what's going on. Could it be that the definitions ".h" are not being read on time?

Well if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Yes it can. It "fakes" real keyboard input, so it works like a physical keyboard with multimedia keys, it is also possible to define any key combination you like.

I was looking at your headers and in both cases you include either windows.h or some other headers which i imagine are platform dependent. There is none for the mac header, any clue what the name of it may be?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Built successfully in first attempt! I managed to build and run the server on the mac! The phone sees the pc and connects without a problem, the only hiccup is that the only functionality so far is the cursor movement. No click or keystroke was perceived by the laptop, what could be the problem? By the way i noticed that in the pic you posted earlier the app has a black theme, somehow different from the one i have, am i missing something? In any case the functionality, not the form, is what i am most interested in.


As always i am most grateful for you help.
