Installation and Deployment

"I have reported it.":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTSDK-667

Amazingly simple. Thank you.

SOLVED. After Qt was rebuild with exceptions and properly tuned - program works but requires small 12 KB mingwm10.dll to support exceptions. Not a problem.

Thanks for the replies all. I wasn't aware of the shared versus static complication. So appreciate your bringing it up. I don't have any idea of the legal issues, so will leave it to the respective guys to figure it out. At the moment, I would at least like to have both static and shared linking options figured out and have a feel of the minimum sizes I can get in each case. Those numbers might also drive what licensing options we might consider. Since there is just one QT app running on our device, there is really no "need" for the shared option, except if that need is enforced upon by the licensing restrictions.

If you don't want "bleeding edge" features, branch from tag. That's what we do here : we have a public repository, and our main branch. @ git checkout v4.6.2 -b 4.6.2-Patched @ Hack, cherry-pick some changes for backport, tag, push to some public repository... When we want to port our changes to a new version: @ git pull git checkout v4.7.1 -b 4.7.1-Patched git merge 4.6.2-Patched @ Here you go, brand new version with your patches :-)

Again (mentioned this before, I believe), take a look at QFileSystemModel. It does this for you already. If you don't use it yourself, then you might study its source code to find out where it gets the images from. Or, look into QFileIconProvider. If you are using QSystemStorageInfo as your data source, then you also know which drives are a CDRom drives. Set the correct flags for those drives, and presto.

I understand that, but the sample is provided by ArcGIS, not by Qt. It is very hard to see what's going wrong based on just the linking error you give us. The ArcGIS people know what you put in the example and how it is constructed; we don't.

The Mercurial/Creator specific part has been moved to "this thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/4932/

Thank you so much, that perfectly solved my problem.

[quote author="eyeck" date="1301757423"]That worked perfectly... I had a feeling I was overlooking something simple like that. [/quote] No problem. That's why this forum is here. Any problem big or small will get looked at as long as the poster is polite, willing to try things and posts sensibly worded questions ;-) [quote author="eyeck" date="1301757423"] I'm sorry, I'm very new to Qt, I've been using Java Swing for years very closed-mindedly to other options. So if I were to write my own Qt Application, how would I go about generating a pro file with the necessary information? The tutorial I had been following told me -project would do the trick, apparently that isn't correct. Needless to say I am searching for a more in-depth resource to learn Qt. [/quote] Welcome to Qt ;-) [quote author="eyeck" date="1301757423"] Thank you very much for your time and responses, you've been an enormous help. I apologize for it simply being a matter of my own inexperience edit: never mind, I think I'm beginning to understand. qmake -project creates a basic pro file, which I then customize before I run qmake/make? Correct?[/quote] Yes that is correct. Qt-creator will also create you a basic .pro file when you use it to create a new project.

Yea, I would agree that it is more a Windows Server issue than Qt, I just posted the same question to Microsoft's Windows Server forum. To answer your questions, it is part of a domain, one that I control. There are no special domain policies. One extra peice of info, the machine is in a VMWare virtual machine. Sam

Thanks guys, no more question ask, everything is clear now :) thank you for your patience. cheers

[quote author="cincirin" date="1301495891"]Yes, you are right. I wanted to say resolve symbols instead of loading. About "real" windos dll I attempt to mention that a COM or ActiveX "dll" export only DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer functions.[/quote] That is correct, and those are C-exports :-) Like in kernel32.dll etc.

Eric is the a Python IDE. It uses QT for the development of GUI's which are then translated to python code with PYQT. I am working on Ubuntu 10.10 I know that this may be an Eric issue, however I have not been able to find any Eric forums to post this issue on and I know that many users who use Eric will use QT Designer and may frequent these forums. Hope someone is able to point me in the right direction.

It depends on what kind of applications you want to create. If you do desktop only, then what you have is sufficient.

You have a distribution problem, which was already often discussed here on DevNet. And it is also described in the docs. look in "this":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/4538/ or "this":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/4440/ thread.

Hi, The easiest way to install a Qt base application with all required Qt dependencies to a Symbian device as N8 is to wrap the application with Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Nokia_Smart_Installer_for_Symbian Once you do it all dependencies will be download and installed automatically and you will solve the issue! Cheers, Leon

Ok, thank you very much.

You even don't need the qt-win-opensource-4.7.2-mingw package. The source code package is enough. Then you need your prefered compiler (which might already be on your machine, perhaps MSVS 2008, 2001, 2005, mingw, whatever). Then you can build Qt with the compiler of your choice (takes some minutes, or hours) and everything is fine. It contains everything you need, QtDesigner for rapid GUI developement, QtAssitant for OnlineHelp, Headers, source, ...
