Qtopia ide

[yagabey]

Hello friends,
I want to develop qtopia 4.4 applications for cirrus logic's edb9315 board with arm9 processor.

Although I made a large search, I still couldn't manage a good description where to start... Most of the docs on the internet are obsolete(they're for older versions)...

Is there any good tutorial which describes how to use Kdevelop 3.5 anf qtopia 4.4 together and setup the ide. Moreover how can i cross compile my applications and how to use the qvfb...

I want an ide like in qt visual studio integration..manipulate ui, write your code, click run..everything is ok ! May embedded development be such easy?

Waiting for your answers...waiting..waiting.. come on...

I am afraid that your search for a Qtopia IDE will not be very successful. You must find an IDE that can be configured easily for building, running, and debugging Qtopia apps.

At work, I am developing a mobile VoIP phone with SlickEdit Core. SlickEdit is also available as Eclipse plugin and Visual Studio add-in. It took me half an hour to set up the Qtopia build, to run Qtopia, and to have full code navigation working. You tell SlickEdit's build system when to call qtopiamake, make, and make install. You can also define the environment variables and working directories for these steps.

Cross-compilation is set up in a device-specific qmake.conf file. For the Greenphone, it is devices/greenphone/mkspecs/qws/linux-greenphone-g++/qmake.conf. For none-phone editions, it might be at a different place.

You can hook the call to qvfb into SlickEdit similar to the build commands. But in the end, you still have to do the integration into SlickEdit manually. The same is true for Eclipse, but we found that code navigation and code assist doesn't work properly there.

To my knowledge, there is no IDE that supports Qtopia right out of the box. You have to do the integration yourself

Cheers,

Thanks bvs for your answer,

I haven't used SlickEdit before...thus it looks a bit unfriendly to me..Don't you think , qtopia may work good with kdevelop? I am not expert; but i am a bit more familiar to kdevelop or eclipse. I tried to configure env params and other things for kdevelop but i couldn't manage it.
Can you suggest me any references about setting up the ide. I need to make that manually integration.

See you.

There is a forum for Kdevelop too ( http://www.kdevelop.org/phorum5/index.php )
and an online chat http://www.kdevelop.org/chat/

Ok friends,

The above conversations was really helpful; but i couldn't get exactly what i want...so i am narrowing down my question:

What environmental variables should i set for qtopia4 in KDevelop ? For qtembedded 2.3x vesion, i know that, i should set QTDIR, QPEDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, TMAKEPATH etc... For qtopia4, QTDIR will be same, TMAKEPATH will be replaced with
QMAKEPATH ...what about others?

Thanks...
