MeeGo SDK 1.2 Preview (with Tablet)

This tutorial describes how to use the MeeGo SDK 1.2 Preview. It contains support for the recently released tablet images.

Overview

This version of the SDK is provides a preview of the following features:

• Qt Creator 2.1.0; built with Qt 4.7.2
• Improved Qt Quick support
• Support for tablet images, toolchain and QEMU image.
• Additional Tablet APIs and supporting libraries
• Graphical installer for Linux
• MeeGo UX Components (very early version)
• UI Guidelines for tablet development

The following related SDK documentation is useful for getting familiar with the application development lifecycle:

• MeeGo Developer Story
• MeeGo API, Platform API
• Qt Development: Creating Hello World

Additional applicable, up-to-date, generic MeeGo development information can be found at:

Prerequisites

Hardware

• Any reasonably modern IA hardware. For systems where the graphics or CPU virtualization are limited a faster system will be needed to use the virtual machine.
• Systems known to work: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, Q8200, i5 or i7 processor-based systems.

Software:

• Windows XP w/SP3 and Windows 7 (32-bit systems can run virtual machine. 64-bit systems can use SDK but will need a device to run/debug)br
• Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 (not KUbuntu; Fedora 13, 14 (32-bit and 64-bit systems supported)
• See also: MeeGo SDK Host OS Support page.

Filesystem:
The MeeGo SDK should be installed on a hardlink-capable filesystem (Unix file systems or NTFS. FAT filesystems are not hardlink-capable and not supported.)

Notes / Known Issues

• In Windows, the virtual machine (QEMU) relies on kqemu to provide CPU virtualization support. On some machines this does not work. If you have trouble, please see troubleshooting.
• KUbuntu is not supported at this time. Uninstalling the SDK in KUbuntu removes critical system files. See bug #14925.
• When uninstalling, everything you've installed as part of the SDK, including MADDE targets and runtimes, will be removed.

Download and Install the MeeGo SDK
