Hi Jon:

We are indeed working to improve Qemu.

Are you willing to try testing your app using Virtual Box (http://www.virtualbox.org) instead?
It won't be integrated with QtCreator like Qemu but it will be a good alternative to Qemu.

Let me know and I provide guidance.

thanks

Hi Jon:

The instructions for putting MeeGo on VirtualBox is here:

http://wiki.meego.com/SDK/Tablet/VirtualBox

However, don't follow the link on this URL to download MeeGo image. For proper image, please use this one instead:

http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/stable/1.2.0.90/1.2.0.90.3.20110607.2/images/meego-tablet-ia32-qemu/

The wiki has instructions and you need to do some conversion of this image. The conversion should take 5 to 10 minutes.

Let me know if you run into issues.
Thanks

Hi Jon:

For the two issues:

1) Is the gray screen from within VirtualBox?

2) Can you tell me the errors you are getting when trying to connect from QtCreator?
And the tablet hardware that you are using? I am also assuming that both your dev host and tablet is behind the same subnet?

thanks

Hi Jon:

If your screen is gray, #2 is probably a little premature to do. Let's figure out #1 first. Is your screen perpetually gray?

For your guest OS installation, in this case MeeGo, can you go under Settings -> System and make sure:

a) under Processor tab, check Enable PAE/NX

b) Under Acceleration tab, check Enable VT-X and enable Nested paging

For #2, there are multiple ways to configure the network. I usually choose "Host Only Adapter" which would grab an IP from the same subnet as your host OS via your host network adapter. Then you can login to guest (meego) and find out what IP you get.

Great. Let me know the networking part.

Besides remote deployment like what you are trying, which has some setup to do, you can grab the RPM generated by QtCreator and just copy into an USB drive and mount it from your VirtualBox MeeGo guest OS. The RPM can then be installed that way.

If you want info on this, let me know.
