how to compile and run the app from source ?
Closed this issue · 13 comments
No really an issue. It is years ago I did do some development for mobile hardware (was on the best phone ever in history, on a Nokia N9).
I may would like to give it a try on Sailfish. Actually I would like to start with one of your apps. On a Linux desktop I regullarly do software development for https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD But actually I have no idea how to start on a mobile plattform like sailfish. Do you have any informations how to get started to compile and run your apps from source ?
-
The SDK is very easy to use on Linux and Windows https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Application_Development
Just download and install it. Make sure VirtualBox is working on your dev-machine before. -
Most of my apps don't need to be compiled. The code is qml and some python code. But anyways it's most convenient to install the SDK and use it for deployment (copy the files to phone or emulator).
-
Then you maybe should start to learn about qml and if you want to use c++ about the data exchange between c++/qml.
Interested as well. Got VirtualBox and SDK Sailfish.IDE running. Pulled source code of ZuTun.txt via git.
(Got some error messages when pressing play in SDK; my prob)
Should the emulator of 3.1.0.11 or 3.1.0.12 display a button for ZuTun.txt in VirtualBox?
(I dare not send a pull request without having run the app at least once in my try-and-error setup ;-).)
EDIT I would very much appreciate some help. Maybe this is a Newbie question...
The last set of lines of the error messages I get when running ...3.0.12 Release Deploy RPM. Partly in German:

Ah, yes. Back then I didn't know how to install files, which are not found automatically by the SDK.
Checkout the devel branch.
But wait with PRs till next version, because there are a lot of changes in the branch smoothlist, which hopefully work soon.
Great, looking forward to the next version ;-).
Anyhow, I would like to join/contribute. Again, Newbie question/screenshot. All I need is a little nudge (I hope).

wow cool and thanks for the links ...

Sure, you should. Select the deployment method "Deploy As RPM Package" for i486 and hit "Run" (= green triangle (arrow)).
Sry 2 disturb again. Got setup exactly like in your screenshot above. Identical picture in the 3.1.0.12 emulator. No errors so far - but unfortunately no ZuTun.txt icon, either.
Do I have to copy some files manually?
Hm, strange. What if you create a new Project. File -> New Project -> Application -> Sailfish OS... (QML only) and then confirm everything and deploy it the same way.
Took me some time to get back here... Finally arrived ;-).
SF OS Emulator starts in 3.1.0.12. Looks like my image above. Just Components and Settings. No surprise a blank project lacks of zutun.txt. But hey, what else can I do?
Good news: Got zutun.txt running via Qt Creator by luck yesterday night.
- Commented out zutun.txt/rpm/harbour-zutun.spec lines 63+65+80+81.
- In addition, added a shared folder in the VM.
Bad news: unable to reproduce now.
Could you please check if project / VM image contains all required files? Thx.
Update:
Different machine. SF OS IDE aka Qt Creator installed from scratch. virtualbox-qt added on my LinuxMint Desktop.
Devel branch pulled from here. Opened as project in 3....12 as debug/rpm.
Voilà: zutun.txt running.
Now looking forward to the update.
Will work on permanent zutun.txt.in VM next. Go, go, go :-)!
EDIT 2019-10-28 21:45: Started IDE again on my "older" machine. Got zutun.txt running there as well. /EDIT
... in addition: lines mentioned above commented out #.
(SF OS native browser does not allow editing comments, so I post a new one.)
