Hi,

I know there are similar posts about this and I have read them! I can't seem to get it straight in my head what you need to do to "optify" an app.

I have modified my src.pro file
Code:
TARGET = myappname
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += qtmain.cpp \
    ... \ ...\ ...
HEADERS += ...
FORMS += ...

unix {
    isEmpty(PREFIX) {
        PREFIX = /usr/local
    }
    # - Before BINDIR = $$PREFIX/bin
     #After:
	BINDIR = /opt/maemo
    DATADIR = $$PREFIX/share

    DEFINES += DATADIR=\\\"$$DATADIR\\\" PKGDATADIR=\\\"$$PKGDATADIR\\\"

    # MAKE INSTALL
    ...
}
and my .desktop file
Code:
...
(Before)
Exec=/usr/bin/myapp
(After)
Exec=/opt/maemo/myapp

...
Is this all I need to do? What is optimal about this???

I have attached the full package code too.

Thanks,

Shep

Optification in simple terms is to ensure your app is installed in the /home/opt partition and not the rootfs partition.
Also any configurations files or data files installed/generated must be in the opt partition.

Seems like you are ready above !
