Hi, Where can I find the whole Qt libraries and header files port for kindles?
I'd like writing some apps for kindle with Qt. I don't like GTK...

If I read Brianmaine's post correctly, you want Debian, OldOldStable (squeeze) for softfloat, arm, little endian.

A good starting place:
https://packages.debian.org/search?s...es&keywords=qt

Now that should be a close match to the Kindle Touch library versions, and there is a screenshot of it running on a PW (pw1) in the thread.

If you don't want to support the older touch screen devices, you could perhaps go to a newer distribution (suite=wheezy in above).
You'll need to check the version of the libraries Amazon is shipping with the newer devices.

An example:
https://packages.debian.org/search?s...es&keywords=qt

And of course, a server closer to yourself than packages.debian.org would be a better choice.

Thanks for you quick response, I'll try that.

I got everything from wheezy - heres a link to how I do lots of stuff:

wheezy for ARM in a chroot allows you to get anything you want...
by installing the qemu-static package, you can chroot into the foreign system.
then
apt-get build-dep <package>...
apt-src install <package>
make changes, and compile.

PS - what do you intend to write for kindles? I can't wait to see new stuff!

also, on re-reading, I have NO idea what I did... Sorry!

Much thanks for you help and for the amazing debian chroot...
now I got 'hello, world' app working on my KT2 with below code..


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QPushButton button("Hello, world!");
button.setWindowTitle("L:A_N:application_ID:helloq t_PC:N_O:R");
button.show();
return app.exec();
}

One thing is the app runing default with landscape, how to make it show as portrait..

I want writting something like RSS reader or sync with online daily updating novels..

I think it's landscape from the :R at the end of the window title - on here somewhere is a list/explanation of how some of the window title elements work:
they are in colon pairs separated by an underline...

I was able to get an rss reader for python working but a full qt app would be great! Good luck!
