Qt Mobility API's on Desktop builds

[mpita]

Just recompile the QtMobility specifying the Desktop framework as target.

Example:

open a qt shell
go inside the qt mobility source directory
launch configure.bat -prefix C:\path\to\your\qt\sdk\Desktop\... [here you can tell that you want only connectivity module, read configure.bat -help]
mingw32-make
mingw32-make install

That's what I successfully did on Linux, Mac and Win


I still don't know why QtMobility is installed only for Mobile...

Ciao!

Works! I compiled Qt Mobility from source by following this guide on my Debian installation.

I did:
sh ./configure -prefix /FULL/PATH/TO/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/474/gcc
make
make install

I had to install a few development libraries (OpenGL, ALSA, etc...) for make to finish successfully but eventually everything worked.
Added this to my .pro file:

CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY += connectivity

and ran into some undefined reference trouble and Qt not finding the libraries, but I just messed around for a while then had to run qmake and rebuild the project and everything worked.

Thanks Marco!

EDIT:
I forgot to mention an important step, you need to copy these 2 files:
mobility.prf
mobilityconfig.prf
otherwise QtCreator won't find the header files.

I copied my prf files from:
PATH/TO/SDK/QtSDK/Madde/sysroots/harmattan-meego-arm-sysroot-1134-slim/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/features

to:
PATH/TO/SDK/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/474/gcc/mkspecs/features/

Then ran qmake, rebuilt the project and it worked!
