Copying

GNU General Public License +Version 2, June 1991 +

+ +

+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA +
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies + of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. + +

Preamble

+ +

+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your +freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by +the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to +your programs, too. + +

+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it +if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it +in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. + +

+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + +

+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their +rights. + +

+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + +

+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + +

+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + +

+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + +

GNU General Public License
+Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution and Modification +

+ +

+0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed +under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, +refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" +means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: +that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, +either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another +language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + +

+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + +

+1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License +along with the Program. + +

+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and +you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + +

+2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + +

+a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices +stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + +

+b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in +whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any +part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third +parties under the terms of this License. + +

+c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively +when run, you must cause it, when started running for such +interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an +announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a +notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide +a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under +these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this +License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but +does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on +the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + +

+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + +

+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Program. + +

+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + +

+3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + +

+a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable +source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections +1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + +

+b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three +years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your +cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete +machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be +distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium +customarily used for software interchange; or, + +

+c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer +to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is +allowed only for non-commercial distribution and only if you +received the program in object code or executable form with such +an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + +

+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +

+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + +

+4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + +

+5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Program or works based on it. + +

+6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + +

+7. If, as a consequence of a court judgement or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +

+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +

+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +

+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + +

+8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + +

+9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +

+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + +

+10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. + +

+NO WARRANTY + +

+11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS +TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, +REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + +

+12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR +REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, +INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING +OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED +TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY +YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER +PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. diff --git a/docs/customization.html b/docs/customization.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ce586a8 --- a/dev/null +++ b/docs/customization.html @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +Customization

Qtopia - The Qt palmtop environment

+ +

+Qtopia is a windowing system for handheld devices. It offers +developers the powerful Qt API, and provides users with fast and +intuitive interaction. + +

Developing for Qtopia

+ +

+The Qt API includes rich GUI functionality, and is suitable for +both large and small applications. + +

+Since Qtopia offers the complete Qt API, you can do much of +your development on any of the other platforms for which Qt is +available - Windows, Unix/X11, or Mac OS X. However, for optimal +tailoring of your application to the smaller screen and other +demands of a handheld environment, you should use the Qtopia +SDK. + +

+The Qtopia SDK allows you to develop Qtopia +applications under the Linux desktop environment using the Qt Virtual +Framebuffer, which completely emulates the handheld Qtopia +environment. It also includes cross-compiler software so that you can +compile your application to run on the target handheld device. +If you do not already have the Qtopia SDK (this document is normally +part of the SDK), contact info@trolltech.com, or see the +Trolltech web site. + +

To build applications for the SHARP SL5000 or similar StrongARM-based devices, +you will also need a StrongARM cross compiler. Entrants in the programming +contest for this device will have received both the SDK and a cross-compiler. + +

+The SDK includes an example program. We recommend that you compile and +run this example to learn how things work, before tackling your own +projects. + +

+    export QTDIR=/opt/Qtopia
+    export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+    export TMAKEPATH=/opt/Qtopia/tmake/lib/qws/linux-generic-g++
+    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+

+ +

Take a copy of the example: + +

+   cd somewhere
+   cp -r $QPEDIR/example .
+   cd example
+

+ +

Generate a Makefile: + +
```
+   tmake -o Makefile example.pro
+
```
+ +
Build the example: + +
```
+   make
+
```
+ +

Install it: + +

+   su # root privileges required to install
+   cp example.desktop $QPEDIR/apps/Applications
+   cp Example.png $QPEDIR/pics
+   cp example $QPEDIR/bin
+   exit # no need to be root anymore
+

+ +

To run it, first run the Qt Virtual Framebuffer: + +
```
+   qvfb &
+
```
+ +
Then run the Qtopia environment: + +
```
+   qpe
+
```
+ +
+ Your application should be available in the Applications tab visible +inside the Qt Virtual Framebuffer window. +
+ +
If you want to distribute your applications to others, build an RPM package, e.g.: +
```
+   mkipks -rpm -arch i386 example.control
+
```
+

+ +

+To make your own application, use the example program as a model. Make sure that +when you add files to your project, you also add them +to your project file (e.g. example.pro) and rerun the +tmake command to update the Makefile. + +

+To build you application for the SHARP SL5000 rather than just running +on the desktop, the process is similar: + +

+ Check the environment is correctly set for the SHARP SL5000: + +

+    export QPEDIR=/opt/Qtopia/sharp
+    export QTDIR=/opt/Qtopia/sharp
+    export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:/usr/local/arm/bin:$PATH
+    export TMAKEPATH=/opt/Qtopia/tmake/lib/qws/linux-sharp-g++
+

+ +

Build and install exactly the same as you did for the desktop + (note that the generated Makefile is different): +
```
+   make clean
+   tmake -o Makefile example.pro
+   ... etc.
+
```
+ +
To install it on a device, build an ipk package file (you should be root + to do this, since then it will strip the executable for you): +
```
+   mkipks example.control
+
```
+ +
+ The resulting example-1.0.0.ipk can be installed on the +SL5000 by using Qtopia Desktop. +
+ +

+ +

Building Your Own Applications

+ +Once you have built the example, you can proceed with writing +your own applicatons. If you are not familiar with Qt, you should +consult the Qt documentation by pointing your web browser at +/opt/Qtopia/doc/html/index.html +when you have installed the SDK, or use the online +Trolltech Documentation Site. +The Qt +Whitepaper provides a good overview of, and introduction to, the +Qt API. + +

+When you add more files to your application, just edit the project +file (e.g. example.pro) and rerun the tmake +command. + +

+The .ui files are Qt Designer user interface files. +You can create and edit these using Qt Designer: +

+   designer example.ui
+
