Desktop launching of qt applicaiton on mini2440

[u2bpavankumar]

Hi,

I am developing on Mini2440 board and I have compiled qt for embedded linux (qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.3) and tslib successfully and run my example program by giving

./hello -qws

at terminal and it has run successfully.

Now I want to launch the application from desktop by creating icon. For that I have followed the tutorial http://farm2440.blogspot.com/ by creating desktop file, icon and executable. But I could n't run it.

When I touch my icon on Mini2440 screen nothing happens. If I hold the icon for longer time I can see the properties of the application. But for other applications (which are available by default) by single touch I could run them.

Please let me know how to run qt applications by creating icon and run from desktop in Mini2440.

Thanks in advance

I don't know anything about Mini2240, but I think the example (Exec=stivlib) lacks a path to the binary and depending on where it is located, it might not get found and executed. So, I'd check first that the desktop file contains a full path to the executable.

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried by giving full path to the binary as well in the .desktop file. But still problem could not be solved.

Some one please help me out to sort this problem

Hello,
the launcher in the blog is for Qtopia 2.2.0 and not for Qt4 application.
There is no need to give path in the launcher because all aplications binaries are in /opt/Qtopia/bin by default.

Right now I'm also trying to create Qt4 launcher without success.

I am facing similar problem. If I hold the icon for longer time I can see the properties of the application. But for other applications (which are available by default) by single touch I could run them. Was someone able to fix it? thanks
