Subject: [Development] tvOS port
Hi
during the xmas break, I took "advantage" of the dreadful weather to
investigate porting Qt5 (dev branch) to Apple's tvOS.
Due to tvOS being mostly built upon iOS, the initial work was quite straight
forward, adding a new mkspec, a new configure option, a CONFIG variable (tvos),
enabling and disabling things where appropriate. [1]
Past the initial prototyping, most of the work has been focused on reducing the
duplication in the build configuration, following initial feedback on gerrit.
Have learned more about prf files than I ever wanted to know :)
Most relevant modules have been updated to build for tvOS, but with very
limited testing.
Beyond testing, key challenge remaining is the user interaction. Due to the
lack of direct touch, or even a mouse cursor, handling focus, mouse areas, etc,
will require more careful work.
As always, feedback and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Mike
