Someone tried to publish N9 applications ?

Hi kkrzweniak,
thank you for thie hew trick ;)
Please take a look to this post: "Single instance applications on N950":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/8132
where you can find all the information about this problem. There is the full code of my .desktop file and the changes I have made too. The trick mentioned in this post was partially already known, so I tried it but unfortunately with any result...
Thank you again. Enrico
P.S. The app as you show in your tests, runs correctly also for me in the terminal.
-
... to be sure, the following is the actual .desktop file (copied just now from the project)
@
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=QtComplexHarmattan1_1_0
Exec=invoker --single-instance --type=d /opt/QtComplexHarmattan1_1_0/bin/QtComplexHarmattan1_1_0

Does it start for you if you try to use invoker in the terminal?
-
no, I tested only the /opt/application ...
I have not yet found where are the .desktop files. I am investigating now.
-
the destkop files should be in:
@/usr/share/applications@ -
@kkrzewniak If you get the error Booster: Loading symbol 'main' failed: '/opt/CoolApp/bin/CoolApp undefined symbol: main'
it's because when booster is enabled, none of the functions are exported by default. You have to export your main function like this:
@
Q_DECL_EXPORT int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{ ... }
@It's all explained better here:

Grate thanks this fixed it, the app now works as expected (single instance) :)

Hi matrixx,
thankyo very much for the doc link in effect it is very useful. Remain the problem of the packaging in a single-instance mode. Do you have tried with Qt SDK 4.8 ? It is strange that your suggestions won't work but I know that in some other projects works.
-
@kkrzewniak I'm glad it solved your problem :)
@Alicemirror I haven't tried with 4.8 yet, I'm using the latest 1.1 SDK released with Qt 4.7 (4.7.4 on Harmattan) and it works fine after the tricks I mentioned. I also know people you hadn't have to do anything to get a working project. It seems to work very irrationally for different people. I also wonder if development platform is one affecting factor, mine is Win 7 64bit.

Hi matrixx,
thank you again for your help. Irrational is the right word. I have tried with Mac but I can try also with Windows 7 32 bit.
A question: how can I upgrade my 4.7.3 (all updated online after the offline installation )to the 4.7.4?
Then about the 4.8 it should be excluded because this version is not accepted by Ovi store..
