MeeGo 1.1 Application SDK Project Plan

This document describes the MeeGo 1.1 SDK and how we get there.

Mission

MeeGo 1.1 Application SDK is going to be the first official Application SDK release in MeeGo. The Application SDK is mainly targetted for Application developers who are interested in creating new applications for MeeGo platform. They might not be so interested in Open Source but are hoping to sell their applications on OVI Store or equivalent.

The application SDK should run on multiple different host environments (Linux, Win, Mac). In general all the parts of the Application SDK should run similarly on all the hosts! Still it is possible that we will have features that will only work on some of the hosts or with only some of the targets. This aspect should be considered in the SDK architecture.

Key Drivers

• MeeGo Application SDK which allows developers to use any host and develop to any target with a similar manner
  • Have a possibility for allowing features that only work on specific hosts or for specific targets
• SDK development process agreed and active
  • How are decisions made etc.

Components / Tasks

Qt Creator

Qt Creator is the chosen IDE for MeeGo Application SDK.

• Responsible: Maurice Kalinowski
• Package Maintainer: Fathi Boudra
• Status:
  • Not part of the OBS builds yet
  • Adding MADDE targets seems somewhat complicated

Compiling plugins

The compiling plugins are used for compiling and packaging the software with different tools (MADDE / OBS). The end result should be installable application RPM.

MADDE plugin

This plugin uses MADDE for compiling and packaging the software.

OBS plugin

This plugin uses OBS for compiling and packaging the software.

Run plugins =

The run plugins are used for installing, running and debugging the software. In general the plugin could use e.g. MADDE to provide this feature.

Qemu plugin

This plugin provides the possibility to use Qemu for "Run plugin" features. This plugin uses MADDE.

Device run plugin

This plugin provides the possibility to use real devices for "Run plugin" features. This plugin uses MADDE.

Xephyr

This plugin provides the possibility to use Xephyr (and chroot) for "Run plugin" features.

MADDE

MADDE is multiplatform toolset for compiling, running, debugging and testing. It provides same API for underlying tools on all the host platforms. MADDE can be used from commandline or from IDE. Primary IDE is Qt Creator but others, like eclipse, can be supported too (although not in this project).

• Responsible: Jari Ihatsu
• Package Maintainer: Fathi Boudra
• Status:
  • We have a build of MADDE that includes MeeGo ARM target
  • Not part of the OBS builds yet

Compiling

Compiling is done with combination of a cross-compiler and a sysroot which includes target headers and libraries. Compilers come with MADDE.

Hosts and Targets

Status of the supported hosts and targets:

	MeeGo chroot	Ubuntu 32bit	Ubuntu 64bit	Fedora 32bit	Fedora 64bit	Windows 7	Mac OS X
ARMv5 - (cs2007q3)	?
ARMv7 - (cs2007q3)	?
Intel (gcc-...)	ok

Sysroots

Sysroot is a collection of target headers and libraries which are used by the compilers to compile the software.

Sysroot responsibles and statuses:

sysroot	Responsible	Status
ARMv5	Fathi Boudra	Work in progress
ARMv7	Fathi Boudra	Work in progress
Intel	?	?

Cross-Compilers

Cross-compiler status per host and responsibles:

	ARM-cs2007q3	ARM-MeeGo 4.?	Intel-MeeGo 4.?
MeeGo chroot	(not planned)	(not planned)	(ok)	?
Ubuntu 32bit	(ok)		Martti Lumme (work in progress)
Ubuntu 64bit	(ok)
Fedora 32bit	(ok)
Fedora 64bit	(ok)
Windows 7	(ok)
Mac OS X	(ok)

Running

With MADDE the application developer can create RPM package on any host environment, transfer and run the software on the device or in the emulation.

RPM support

RPM packager is created with ...
