So I've finished a small app, and can't seem to package it properly.

I've been following along using some tutorials:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...plication_menu
http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging_a_Qt_application

I've tried mimicing this file:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...mple-0.0.1.zip

So it packages without error and I get my files, including the .deb. I can see the app in the application manager in the "Unistall" section (even the icon works), but the app doesn't appear in the menu. When I navigate to usr/bin in the terminal, the program isn't there either.

Can someone please help me?!

todolist-1.0/todolist.pro
Code:
QMAKEVERSION = $$[QMAKE_VERSION]
ISQT4 = $$find(QMAKEVERSION, ^[2-9])
isEmpty( ISQT4 ) {
error("Use the qmake include with Qt4.4 or greater, on Debian that is qmake-qt4");
}

TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS  = src
todolist-1.0/src/src.pro
Code:
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES = todolistwidget.cpp main.cpp
HEADERS = todolistwidget.h todoitem.h

I would bet that it installed somewhere weird. Do a dpkg -L <package> and see where it installed to. There are a couple of threads on packaging QT apps in the forums. None of which I can bloody find right now - but I know they are there because I posted in one when I was having issues

Any luck @Bratag?

Why dont you just use Qt SDK for packaging?
it also installs the .desktop file for the menu then.

I don't know. I've just been using scratchbox to program this application.

If you have some links that will describe how I use the Qt SDK, that would be appreciated! *starts looking*

Here are all the files I have been working with!

If anyone can help, please take a look at the files.

I never imaged that packaging the program would be the hardest part of programming my first app for Maemo.

Please help!

Packaging isn't that hard. There are very good HOWTOs that'll take you through it step by step. If I managed to do it, so can you.

As soon as you understand how the staging is done, you can do every step by hand and compare that to what your automated build environment does and see where it differs.

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/De...uilding-HOWTO/ (a bit old but accurate as far as I can see)
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ (all you could ever want to read about in detail, ever)

As for your package, I can't see your binary anywhere. So, perhaps no wonder you can't start it...

I find packaging terrible hard, especially with QtCreator,
as I never know how it auto generates debian/rules settings.

For example,
Xand0r uses a src.pro a src-subdirectory and a todolist.pro
in his src-subdirectory. For whatever reason QtCreator thinks
the binary should be named "src". And the whole packaging
goes wrong, as it never looks into todolist.pro for deployment
settings for the other files (icon, service, desktop).

I took a look at Xand0rs todolist-project and changed some parts.
I am sure there are better ways to do this but this is how
I got the program running:

I put the contents of the todolist.pro to
src.pro and renamed the src.pro to todolist.pro.
Qt now generates a binary, named todolist but
the other files aren't deployed because there were some errors
in the .pro file :

The todolist.pro file:
Code:
QMAKEVERSION = $$[QMAKE_VERSION]
ISQT4 = $$find(QMAKEVERSION, ^[2-9])
isEmpty( ISQT4 ) {
error("Use the qmake include with Qt4.4 or greater, on Debian that is qmake-qt4");
}

TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES = src/todolistwidget.cpp src/main.cpp
HEADERS = src/todolistwidget.h src/todoitem.h

QT += maemo5

unix {
  #VARIABLES
  isEmpty(PREFIX) {
    PREFIX = /usr
  }
  BINDIR = $$PREFIX/bin
  DATADIR =$$PREFIX/share

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

  #MAKE INSTALL

  INSTALLS += target desktop service iconxpm icon48

  target.path =$$BINDIR

  desktop.path = $$DATADIR/applications/hildon
  desktop.files += data/$${TARGET}.desktop

  service.path = $$DATADIR/dbus-1/services
  service.files += data/org.indt.todolist.service

  icon48.path = $$DATADIR/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
  icon48.files += data/48x48/$${TARGET}.png
}
And I renamed your todolist-1.0/data/sample.desktop to
todolist-1.0/data/todolist.desktop

When I compared the scr.pro in the first post with my app's working one I noticed it does not have this line:

TARGET = todolist

If I have understood right, that line tells what name to give to the executable and thus missing one would explain why it does not get installed.

@nicolai Thanks! That file did work. Nice catch on the desktop file too.

@helihyv Hrm, I tried this first, but as nocolai suggests, I think there must be other things that are wrong with my .pro file.

All that's left is to get the icon working! It didn't work in the menu, but works in the application manager.

Thanks guys! I will poke around with the icon issue.
