SDK/Tablet/MeeGo Tablet SDK 1.2 Preview for Linux/Download the SDK

Run the MeeGo SDK Installer

Download and run the installation script:


$ chmod +x ./meego-sdk-installer-online
$ sudo -E ./meego-sdk-installer-online


Note: it will install the image Praj created on Feb 13 for MWC

The installer will use "sudo" during the installation. If you have proxy setting, make sure the proxy setting can be passed through to the sudoers. You can use "sudo -E" to preserve the environment or you need to add

Defaults env_keep += "http_proxy https_proxy no_proxy"

into /etc/sudoers. Even you run the installer with root, you still need to configure that!

Installer Overview

The installation script does the following:

1. Removes previous installations of the SDK
   Old packages and toolchains can create invalid configurations.
2. Adds a meego-sdk repository configuration file
3. Installs 6 main packages, plus dependencies:
   
   • madde (used to configure the build toolchain)
   • meego-qemu-ia32 (qemu runtime configuration)
   • qemu-gl (gl-accelerated virtual machine with device skins)
   • meego-sdk-i586-toolchain (meego toolchain)
   • meego-sdk-qtcreator (Qt Creator for MeeGo)
   • qt-tools (Useful development tools for Qt development)
4. Downloads the MeeGo QEMU runtime
   The SDK uses an emulator (QEMU) to load a MeeGo runtime image in a window on your workstation. This emulates a target device running the MeeGo OS and allows you to run and debug your application without requiring a device. This download is ~650MB.
5. Downloads the MeeGo toolchain
   The SDK uses a toolchain to build applications on your host that will run on MeeGo. Inside Qt Creator the toolchain is referred to as a "Target". This download is ~250MB.

If you have trouble with the script, you can walk through the manual stepsGetting_started_with_the_MeeGo_SDK_for_Linux

Next Step

Once you have downloaded the SDK components you are ready to <a href="https://otcshare.org/meego-tablet/node/280">configure Qt Creator to develop MeeGo applications</a>.
