This page explains how to prepare a netbook so it can be used as a |deployment target for MeeGo development.
If you don't have access to a netbook which can run MeeGo, you can use QEMU or Xephyr as a deployment target instead:
First you need to install MeeGo on the netbook. Instructions are available here.
You will need a working network connection on the netbook, to make it accessible to the development host machine.
Next, you need to add some extra packages and configuration so you can deploy to the netbook from Qt Creator. The following steps require a command line on the netbook; this is available from the Applications zone, under System Tools > Terminal.
On the command line:
sudo zypper install openssh-server
To start the SSH server manually (you'll need to do this just after you've installed it, otherwise it won't be available until you reboot):
sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
To add it to the init sequence so it starts at boot time:
sudo chkconfig --add sshd
sudo zypper install gdb-gdbserver
xhost +SI:localuser:root
