Hello there Gumstix Mailing list, I am about to start focusing all my energy into getting Qtopia Core 4.4 to build nicely in OpenEmbedded - particually for Gumstix users. To that end, I'd like people's input! First, some clarification. Trolltech has 2 main products, Qt & Qtopia. Qt, we all know (and love, hopefully) and is used by KDE. Qtopia is more like KDE than it is like Qt - It's a set of applications & application libraries. My focus is Qt. Now, Qt comes in 5 flavors: Qt/X11, Qt/OSX, Qt/Windows, Qt/WinCE & Qtopia Core. Confused? Qtopia Core implements it's own windowing system ontop of the Linux Framebuffer, a bit like DirectFB. If you write an application using the Qt libraries, you can simply re-compile that application & run it on any of the 5 platforms Qt supports - including Qtopia Core. So all the features & libraries you find in Qt are also avaliable in Qtopia Core (In fact, most of the code is shared inside Qt between the different platforms). Now, Qt (and therefore Qtopia Core) has a lot modules. Given the Gumstix has a limited amount of flash, what I want to know are people's priorities with respect to the various modules of Qt. What ever people want to use is what I intend to get working in OpenEmbedded. To give you a rough idea of sizes, here are (some) of the 4.4 modules compiled for OpenMoko's Neo1973: -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 377350 2008-02-05 17:28 libphonon.so.4.1.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 3141462 2008-02-05 17:17 libQtCore.so.4.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 10681170 2008-02-05 17:26 libQtGui.so.4.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 1339743 2008-02-05 17:18 libQtNetwork.so.4.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 1474961 2008-02-05 17:28 libQtScript.so.4.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 297615 2008-02-05 17:26 libQtSql.so.4.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 427046 2008-02-05 17:27 libQtSvg.so.4.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 93833 2008-02-05 17:28 libQtTest.so.4.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 13017979 2008-02-05 17:41 libQtWebKit.so.4.4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tcooksey users 407781 2008-02-05 17:17 libQtXml.so.4.4.0 So, as an example, given QtWebKit is a whopping 13MB, are people still interested in having it on the Gumstix? Answers on a post card! - Or just reply to this thread. Cheers, Tom |
