Nemo/Qt5PortingCoreApps

How can I help?

This Qt5 porting effort is part of the bigger effort consisting of moving Nemomobile from Qt4/X11 to Qt5/Wayland.

• First of all, to be able to contribute you need to setup a Nemo Wayland VM development environment. To do that, read [1]

• Once you have Nemo Wayland VM and SB2 target working, use GitHub website to fork the app you want to port and clone your fork on your pc

• Edit code, packaging files, whatever you want

• Run this command INSIDE THE MER SDK to build the .rpm package:

mb build -t SB2_TARGET_NAME rpm/spec_file_of_your_app.spec

This will create an .rpm package with your (modified) app.

• scp the app over to the VM

• Connect to the VM via ssh and run

zypper install path_of_the_rpm_file/file.rpm

to install the package you just created.

• Start the app by tapping on its icon in the VM (you may have problems trying to run it directly from SSH) and check that the app is working as expected

• If you're annoyed by the lack of theme graphics (no toolbars etc), perform this hack (full solution underway):

zypper in meegotouch-theme-darko
zypper ar http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/sledge:/branches:/nemo:/devel/nemo_devel_mw_latest_i486/ qt-comp
zypper dup --from qt-comp

• Once you have finished your Qt5 port, create a Pull Request on github, and wait for a reviewer to review your code :)

• This is all, thank you very much for contributing! :)
