These patches are unable to be hosted in the Mobility +git repository at this time. + +In order to successfully build Mobility for MeeGo, you must also obtain +these patches, or you must modify qt-mobility.yaml and qt-mobility.spec +to remove the usage of the patches. + +Please do not add any more patches. + + + +HOW TO MAKE CHANGES +=================== + +Within this directory, there is a yaml file and a spec file. The yaml +file is maintained by hand; the spec file is partially generated from the +yaml file, but partially maintained by hand also, in specially marked +sections. + +The command used to generate the spec file from the yaml file is `specify'. +This is part of a tool named Spectacle. This can be installed from the +MeeGo tools repositories. It does not require a full MeeGo SDK install. +For example, on Ubuntu: + + $ sudo /bin/sh -c 'echo deb http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/tools/repos/ubuntu/10.04/ / > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/meego-tools.list' + $ gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv 0BC7BEC479FC1F8A && gpg --export --armor 0BC7BEC479FC1F8A | sudo apt-key add - + $ sudo apt-get update + $ sudo apt-get install meego-packaging-tools + +Once you have installed meego-packaging-tools, you can run `make spec-git' +in this directory to regenerate the spec file from the yaml file. +The spec file and yaml file should be maintained together, so if you +modify the yaml file, you should do `make spec-git' and put the +modifications to the spec file in the same commit. + +Please see http://wiki.meego.com/Spectacle for more information about +spectacle. + + + +HOW TO BUILD +============ + +Note: these instructions are not canonical or supported in any way. +They are here as a quick start for people who want to contribute to +Qt Mobility and do not know how to compile for MeeGo. + +The most accurate way to build is to use the OpenSuSE build service +on build.meego.com. Unfortunately, at time of writing, anonymous +access to this service is not available. Therefore, using build.meego.com +is not an option for most people. + +However, a fairly accurate build can still be done using the `build' command +and referring to the live MeeGo repos. + + +Abbreviated example of how to install `build' for Ubuntu: + + $ sudo /bin/sh -c 'echo deb http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/tools/repos/ubuntu/10.04/ / > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/meego-tools.list' + $ gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv 0BC7BEC479FC1F8A && gpg --export --armor 0BC7BEC479FC1F8A | sudo apt-key add - + $ sudo apt-get update + $ sudo apt-get install build + $ gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv 79FC1F8A && gpg --export --armor 79FC1F8A | sudo rpm --import - + + +Then, to do the build (for i686): + + $ make build-trunk-i686 + + +Or, to use the Trunk:Testing repository (which may contain newer versions of some packages): + + $ make build-trunk-testing-i686 + + +These builds will take place in a chroot, and hence will require root access. +They will attempt to use `sudo' for this. + +If you hit an error, `rpm: error while loading shared libraries: liblua-5.1.so', +edit /usr/lib/build/configs/default.conf and add liblua to one of the `Preinstall:' lines +(see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.meego.devel/7139 ) |
