Build Instructions

How to build Showshoe

We require Qt 5. http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git . Don't forget after a git pull to run git submodule update as well as in qtdeclarative to run also git submodule update (to get V8 updates).

Get the source : git@github.com:snowshoe/snowshoe.git
Export needed variables:
- PATH pointing to the Qt5 bin directory
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the WebKit2 lib directory
Run qmake
Run make or nmake (on Windows)
Enjoy!

Don't forget to add the bin path of your WebKit build to your PATH so QtWebProcess executable can be found.
Make sure QML_IMPORT_PATH points to the builddir/imports to load the QtWebKit plugin.
Make sure also that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correctly set.

Follow the instructions to install QtWebKit on N9.
Get the source files of Snowshoe.
Install the Harmattan SDK and restart your user session.
Run "/scratchbox/login" just to make sure HARMATTAN_ARMEL is selected. Otherwise select it using "sb-menu" inside scratchbox. If you get "ERROR: ‘/scratchbox/sbin/chroot-uid’ is not suid ROOT" then type "sudo chmod u+s /scratchbox/sbin/chroot-uid".
Run the Snowshoe script "tools/setup-snowshoe-deps.sh" to install the dependencies on your scratchbox. You should run this script from Snowshoe base directory (not inside tools).
Adjust the ip inside the build-deploy.sh script inside 'tools' to the IP of your device. The default is 192.168.2.15, the IP for the usb connection.
Run the build-deploy.sh script from the project root dir. It'll copy the project to scratchbox, build and scp it to the connected device. If you get a build error "cannot find -lfontconfig" then log into scratchbox and type "apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev"
On the device, add the Qt5 binary dir to PATH with "export PATH=/opt/qt5/bin:$PATH" and then run it with "./snowshoe --mobile" If you hit the error "module "com.nokia.meego" is not installed" when running snowshoe, then go to your N9 device and type "apt-get install qt-components2"
