Building a standalone app for kobo
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a way to build a standalone app that I can run on my kobo device. say for example I build a simple sudoku app with c++ qt framework and launch it on my kobo through NickelMenu. Does anyone know such a thing is possible and if there are ressources that can help me with that? I have a personal project I want to work on and I'm not finding well explained ressources. |

Szybet made a nice guide (for Qt): https://github.com/Szybet/nickel-qt-...main/README.md * Edit : That guide links to https://github.com/Aryetis/qt5-kobo-...readme-ov-file for Nickel builds, which itself has build instructions whose link gives a 404. https://github.com/Rain92/kobo-qt-setup-script That has been broken for months at least. So the guide while still useful is now catering mainly to InkBox. ** Edit : OK szybet explained it below - just compile plugin as Qt app as in: https://github.com/Szybet/niAudio/bl...bo/qt-setup.md If that's not your target, and navigating the Qt state makes your eyes glaze over, there are other options like: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...74&postcount=4 There's rmkit, which is in the thread right below this one. And fbink a couple of threads down this page. (Actually a search for "sudoku on kobo" gives a positive result on first hit!) Last edited by elinkser; 03-02-2024 at 12:56 PM. Reason: Qt build broken for nickel + OK use szybet build process |

https://github.com/Kobo-InkBox/inkbox/wiki here are also a lot of things, not only InkBox specific Join our InkBox server (dc or matrix) we can guide you further there. We ported many Qt apps: https://github.com/Kobo-InkBox/user-applications |

A little meme that was made in conclusion of a discord conversation. Any discussion on it will be replied with further memes.

@szybet, your link for building for Nickel has broken build instructions (see my above post.)
Can you update it to your current build process for the Nickel version of Sanki? Otherwise it is really mainly for InkBox. |

I haven't got time to look at it yesterday
First, it's only an option. Sanki build on nickel uses inkbox platform plugin anyway. Secondly, both platform plugins can be build as any Qt app, which is explained at "Compile qt app for kobo" in my guide. |
