Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Developers can also enter their applications into The Qt WeTab App Challenge if their application works on MeeGo and not just Maemo.

Good luck. :)

"d) Entries must be written with the Qt Open Source Edition licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2."
Well that sucks, if i understand properly (Do i?). I use Qt via LCL(Lazarus/FPC) and am not eligible...
Instead of trying to pull as many developers as they can and push the overall development of MeeGo, they put those kind of rules.. What difference does it make if its Pascal + Qt or Cpp + Qt, i really don't know..

TRX.

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Hey zehjotkah, just wondering if there was any update on this?

It's been a week since I replied to Bob Duffy's request for more details on our questions but there hasn't been any response back as yet. If it was straight forward Im assuming there'd be a quicker response, but I'm getting the feeling now that no response will be coming. Where you able to find some time to speak with any developers at the conference on our behalf?

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Yes, just forgot to post it here.
There will be a new version of the (Intel) MeeGo SDK pretty soon which will support some sort of plugins.
Also it will let you decide to install (or not) the Intel tools (like VTune) right during the setup.

edit: no word on making it easier for maemo Qt devs to updating their SDK. I think a reinstall might be the solution.

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Okay, I hope pretty soon is within the next few weeks. ;)
Hopefully with some improvements regarding the installation and existings SDKs (maemo)...

Yes, reinstall is nice. But who will maintain and compile my current maemo projects? How to add a maemo target at the MeeGo SDK?

The problem is to get both on the same system working without messing the previous installation. I tried it several times. But it ended each time with a not working target. (once maemo, twice MeeGo) - and because a installation takes several hours on my old Desktop I gave up for the moment. :(
And it seems Google is not my friend. Perhaps because the most seems to use Linux or Windows 7 instead of a old Windows XP... I don't know. :rolleyes:

Will use my rare sparetime now to work on my maemo projects until the MeeGo SDK works with maemo together out of the box. Perhaps it's still to early and to unstable...

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Ah, and don't get me wrong. I was able to get the MeeGo SDK 1.2 running without problems. But not together with the maemo SDK at my Desktop PC.

I installed the MeeGo SDK 1.2 on my Windows 7 Lenovo IdeaPad without any kind of problem. I'm able to copy the file to a Fat32 partition, reboot the IdeaPad, copy the File using the Terminal at MeeGo (Tablet) to the btrfs file system, make it executable and run the application.

So, it works. But it's a pain! :mad:

And because this is a Coding Competition that targets MeeGo and maemo a easy step by step solution as askey by Kojacker would be really nice for all developers. ;)
But it seems currently only Kojacker and I have this problem? :confused:

Mh, by the way:
Why was this thread moved over to "MeeGo / Harmattan" without any kind of announcement? I needed now some time to find it again. It was previously at the Community section and the old Coding Competition is in the Development section still sticky... ... ... ... ... ... I'm over 30! Don't play games with me. :D

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I wasn't informed about that either.
Hey mods! Why it was moved? That's not nice!

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

fyi, the thread was moved back.
Thanks goes to sjgadsby

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

i dont think there are many Maemo devs actively developing for MeeGo on here, would you agree? It might be just me, but everyday that passes without a handset or hardware to target makes my interest continue to fade. Its a pain setting up for both platforms, i dont want to mess around with my machine, and theres nothing to test it on anyway - so why bother,right? I dont see that MeeGo has any interest in us either. For example the reply to our concern is not helpful. When you see how stale application development is for MeeGo you'd think they'd spend more attention on our community of Maemo/N900 developers. So many have moved on to competitors already, time will tell if they can win them back..

By the way, does X-Ray have any competition in the Fun and Strange categity yet? :-)
