Hi devel or future devel,

this is just a small howto to get started.

My SDK contains got a Qt2.3.7 and Opie1.0.3 cross compiled
and compiled for x86.
You need to get that toolchain http://www.openzaurus.org/official/toolchain/cross-2.95.3.tar.bz2
and untar that to /usr/local/arm

You also need Qt3 utils which should contain qvfb!.

The GUI supplied is KDevelop. Start it through the start_kdevelop script to make sure
everything is set up correctly!!!

From within KDevelop you can start QVFB and from the embedded konsole
you can source host_env to setup OPIE on your terminal right
and then fire up qpe or even your application.

Note that this version of Opie will also load pictures,sounds,applets,startmenu
from locations normally not supported. It'll try to use the QDir::currentDir()
as additional QPEApplication::qpeDir().

It can package your application as well. From QMAKE Configure you can set
the MakeSpec for compiling for the targetted device. And Project->Project Options.
You can modify packaging.

If you import an already existing project. You'll need to follow this layout

 base/
   i18n/
   pics/
   sounds/
   etc/
   your.pro


When you add sounds and pictures be sure to create pics/ and sounds/ subdir
otherwise packaging will be broken and you won't be happy

Also for importing create a subdir and copy the opie.pro file into that dir
and then echo "include( some_subdir/opie.pro ) " >> your.pro. This make file contains
some magic for linking the right library and includepath. Make sure to copy /opt/OpieSdk/opie.pro
to the some_subdir/ of your project.

And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
And you'll think you're happy now

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh

And if you guard yourself
You will think you're happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll make him happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
Then you'll think you're happy now

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh

And if you fool yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you will seem happy
You'll wallow in the shit
Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh
