trying to run qt desktop widget on n900
 
Hello,

i need your help. i'm complete new to qt and linux development.
i made a small application for my n900 im using qt-creator 1.3.0 on
windows 7 and i recompile it using madde 0.5.

my aim is to run this application as a desktop widget.

if i run my application with the .desktop file i put in
/usr/share/applications/hildon
it works.
but if i put the same .desktop file in
/usr/share/applications/hildon-home
nothing happens if i try to run it from the n900 add widget menu.

i get exactly the same behavior with the "qt-example-hildondesktopwidget"
(i put the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications/hildon
to /usr/share/applications/hildon-home)

i hope you can help me.
thanks

have the same issue with my QT app, batlevel.
Seems like the .desktop file needs either a .so library file or a shell script to run. One way would be to create a GTK app and call your QT code.
But I cant be sure about this, still trying to find out.
Just wanted to let you know that if failed for me as well.

hi krk,
thank you for your reply. i'm glad that i'm not alone with this problem.

i hope we'll get a solution soon. i stay tuned

you will find this useful
http://wiki.maemo.org/Qt

but then many people on this forum have written nice step by step tutorials in addition to those helpful documents.
a search would reveal them, i dont have the links with me.
