I have tried Qt creator on windows and linux. At this time I write the applications using Qt Creator, commit my changes to a SVN repository and then within scratchbox environment I get the changes from the repository, compile the code and try them on Xephyr/Scratchbox/x86. Assuming that it works, I then switch the targets on scratchbox to ARM, compile again and scp to the device so I can test on it. It is anything but simple or efficient.
I would like to know from the developers how their development environment looks like to create qt applications and specifically: The new Qt SDK should make things easier to develop applications for the n900 but: 1. I couldn't find much of a use for the simulator. The simulator can't simulate the specific features of the n900. Is there a way to actually compile the code with the Q_WS_MAEMO_5 and test it on the simulator? Am I wrong to assume that the simulator is actually a completely different "device" that only simulates executing Qt code regardless of how the code will behave on real devices? 2. The debug/run on device would be great but again it depends on the release of PR 1.2. or am I missing something? All this being said by best case scenario would be to be able to use Qt Creator on linux to develop but compile directly using the scratchbox/X86 target, be able to launch from Qt creator the application on Xephyr and if possible have a simple way to also compile on scratchbox/ARM from Qt creator. I assume most of this can be done by tweaking the "building steps" with some scripts but before I attempt this I would like to know if anybody has implemented this solution or has a better idea.
