Building andoid-qt-mobility on Windows

[Ole-Johan]

Hi.

Is it possible to build android-qt-mobility on Windows? If so, does anyone have a "howto"? :)

Best regards, Ole-Johan

It's nevet built right on Windows and the set up for build process is a bit complicated so I'd recommend virtual box and ubuntu (or some other linux distro).

If you really want to use Windows and are willing to try to fix the issues (I think msys bash is too old is the current problem with mobility) then let me know and I'll put together some instructions.

OK. What I am looking for is to implement the QtLocation fix and use QtLocation on Android 4. So if I get QtMobility set up and compile it, can I link my new libQtLocation.so statically and use the rest of the libs from Ministro? If so then I am really interrested in setting it up and trying. Then I might be able to do some more work on Mobility aswell. 

I would prefer to do so in my Windows environment. I do have a virtual kubuntu box for "emergencies" that I use from time to time, but I am less familiar with linux than Windows. However, if it is simple to do in linux and difficult in windows, I can use linux. But we might get more help on Mobility if it was easy to set up on windows too?

Yeah, I had a hope once that if everything compiled everywhere then people would flock to help. So I made as much compiled as I could on windows and mac. The people didn't flock (well to be honest, a few people help BogDan out and we really appreciate their help, but they all seem to use Linux to be honest!)

Anyway...

You've got a mingw/msys setup with git I take it? Have you cloned ministro?

[Willy Gardiol]

Yes, despite the "heat" on Necessitas and the people trying to use it,
it seems nobody is really willing to give back by helping Necessitas
itself. This is a pity.

Unfortunately i have to put myself in the same group, because i did not
managed to give back anything yet, but i am a single developer and Qt on
Nokia still fills up all my time at the moment. I hope i can contribute
later on when i will actually start using Necessitas for real.

Meanwhile, how many people are actually coding for Necessitas apart
from BogoDan and few others? More should join i guess :) or i am just
hoping :)

We should move this discussion to:

http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/necessitas-devel/2012-March/000798.html

Cheers,

Ray.

Hi,

Sorry, I didn't see these messages, please move the discussion
to necessitas-devel mailing list, because necessitas-devel is a low
traffic,
I can read and track all the posts.

Thanks !

Cheers,
BogDan.
