Create N900 app in Qt under Windows 7

[rickrvo]

What's in line 30 of the offending file?

oops sorry! I pasted the wrong error... I fixed that one. It was a miss-typing error in .pro

this is the correct error:

cc1plus.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-mwindows"

Where did this come from? I mean the -mwindows option. It's not put there by Qt.

[rickrvo]

Where did this come from? I mean the -mwindows option. It's not put there by Qt.

I don't know... I know that If I compile it without the check in shadow build and specifying the folder E:\Projecto\uni_net-1.4.1-Mobile\uni_net-project\VNCHooks\maemo it returns that error.

If I check shadow build on that folder the error is:

[wysota]

You must be using a wrong toolchain. -mwindows may be put in the Makefile when the compilation takes place for Cygwin or for Windows and not for armel. You can see that in your second try a file within "win32" folder is referenced which also shouldn't be happening. Make sure all paths are set correctly. In doubt perform the compilation from the command line.

[rickrvo]

I found the -mwindows where it is comming from...

this is my .pro file:

QT -= core \

../uni_net-student-mobile-maemo/maemo

should I take out the .../win32 path?

Just to clear you out nsserver is another plugin..

[wysota]

You should take out everything. The whole file doesn't make any sense. Including assignments to DLLDESTDIR. You can see the compilation of the VNCHooks subproject takes place and there are obvious references to Windows stuff there.

[rickrvo]

but the project was running on Qt simulator... I don't get it. where can I get examples of .pro files for the n900? (I never programmed for the n900) this is my first time and already I have to port the windows app to the mobile... :\

but the project was running on Qt simulator... I don't get it.

The simulator uses your desktop platform and not the mobile platfom.

where can I get examples of .pro files for the n900? (I never programmed for the n900) this is my first time and already I have to port the windows app to the mobile... :\

N900 doesn't use Windows GDI so I'd start by getting rid of that.

[rickrvo]

I disposed of that plugin as it wasn't very important for the version for the n900.

Now I'm having another problem which is the same on every other plugin that I'm trying to compile

which is:

...
Package Name : libjpeg
Version : 0.0.1
License : gpl
Using dpatch : no
Type of Package : Single
Hit <enter> to confirm:
Done. Please edit the files in the debian/ subdirectory now. libjpeg
uses a configure script, so you probably don't have to edit the Makefiles.
Package Creation: Running command 'dh_installdirs'.
Packaging Error: Could not copy 'E:\Projecto\uni_net-1.4.1-Mobile\uni_net-project\libjpeg\libjpeg' to 'E:\Projecto\uni_net-1.4.1-Mobile\uni_net-project\libjpeg\debian\libjpeg\\usr\local\bin\libj peg'.
Error while building project libjpeg (target: Maemo)
When executing build step ''

This is the output on the libjpeg plugin... on the attendees plugin the output is:

...

Error while building project attendees (target: Maemo)
When executing build step ''

I don't know why it keeps trying to copy 'E:\Projecto\uni_net-1.4.1-Mobile\uni_net-project\libjpeg\libjpeg and E:\Projecto\uni_net-1.4.1-Mobile\uni_net-project\plugins\attendees\attendees when the folder is only 1 libjpeg and not libjpeg\libjpeg... also targeting E:\Projecto\uni_net-1.4.1-Mobile\uni_net-project\plugins\attendees\debian\attendees\\usr\lo cal\bin\attendees with 2 \\ instead of 1.

it's happening on every plugin... the .pro of these 2 are:

both are without shadow builds.

I told you that your DLLDESTDIR values don't make sense. Do you even know what this variable is for?

[rickrvo]

I know that it is to create dll and linux uses .so files... but that's not the problem that is originating the error. I erased those lines and the "could not copy" error persists.

[wysota]

If you have to use some framework it is a good idea to understand what it does before you start using it. What is failing is a build step for creating a package for maemo which will fail on Windows regardless of what settings you have in your .pro file. First because you are using Windows so you can't run Debian packaging scripts and second because the .pro file has nothing to do with creating the package. It is done by Creator. Disable the packaging step in Creator and you'll probably be fine.

And DLLDESTDIR is not used to create dll files. It points to a directory where the library should be created if the goal of the project is to create a library. If you point it to several directories, where should the library be created? In each of them?
