This is Qt version %VERSION%.

Qt is a comprehensive cross-platform C++ application framework. With
this release you can make advanced graphical applications and
utilize TCP/IP connections. All modules except Qt3Support are available
on Maemo 5.

INSTALLING Qt

Follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.

REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION

The Qt reference documentation is available locally in Qt's doc/html
directory or at http://doc.trolltech.com/

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

For this release, the official Maemo 5.0 SDK has been tested.
Device testing was done on a N900 with PR 1.2

HOW TO REPORT A BUG

We have set up a special mailing list for feedback on the Maemo port.
Feedback or questions all go to this list.
To join, send a mail with the subject set as "subscribe" to:

    [email protected]

To report bugs, use the public bug tracking tool at

    http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/

Make sure to include "Maemo 5" in the "Component" list of your bug report.

Always include the following information in your bug report:
the version of Qt you are using, and what configure options it was
compiled with.

If the problem you are reporting is only visible at run-time, try to
create a small test program that shows the problem when run. Often,
such a program can be created with some minor changes to one of the
many unit tests in Qt's tests/auto directory.

KNOWN ISSUES

N900 devices with PR 1.1 come with some issues that will be resolved
in the next firmware upgrade (1.2). Qt running on PR 1.1 phones
has the following known issues:

   * Text in hildon banners and notifications wrong
   * The WA_Maemo5AutoOrientation enum does not work as documented


                   INSTALLING Qt for Maemo Version %VERSION%

Note: These instructions only apply if you choose to build your own version
of Qt. For most users, we suggest to install the pre-made Qt binaries that
are in Maemo's "extras-devel" repository. See
    http://wiki.maemo.org/Qt4_Hildon
for details.

1.  Install needed IDE and SDKs

    Make sure you have the following installed:
    
    - Scratchbox
    - Maemo 5 SDK

    Both are available from Forum Nokia:

    http://www.forum.nokia.com/Tools_Docs_and_Code/Tools/Platforms/Maemo/

    Follow the Maemo 5 SDK installation instructions.

    For OpenGL ES 2 support for scratchbox ARM (not for scratchbox x86 targets!),
    the packages opengles-sgx-img-common-dev and libgles2-sgx-img-dev are required.
    If they are not already installed, run the following command:

        fakeroot apt-get install opengles-sgx-img-common-dev libgles2-sgx-img-dev

    Note: If these packages cannot be found, you probably forgot to do step 7 of the
          Scratchbox installation instructions:

          " 7. Proceed further to accept the EULA in order to obtain
               the Nokia proprietary binary packages. These Nokia binaries
               are essential for the complete functionality of the Maemo SDK."

           See http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Final_SDK_Installation

2.  Install Qt

    Uncompress the package into any directory, e.g. $HOME/qt

3.  Configure Qt

    To configure Qt for Maemo 5 for ARM, do:

        cd $HOME/qt
        configure -maemo5 -opengl es2 --prefix=/opt/yourorganization

    For x86, OpenGL ES 2 is not available, so the opengl parameter can be omitted:

        configure -maemo5 --prefix=/opt/yourorganization

    For other options, type "configure -help" to get a list of all available
    options.

5.  Build Qt

    To build Qt, type:

        make

    To install Qt to its destination folder, type:

        make install

    Congratulations, Qt is now ready to use.

    We hope you will enjoy using Qt.
