This week I finally managed to get a test Qt application packaged as an apk file. The application uses the native Proj lib to do some projections conversions. Basically it does the same as what qgis will do just with much more dependencies. The key problem was that necessitas wipes Read more…
I just set up a win xp virtual box (remember to enable 3D acceleration) and to test out globe on windows. here what I did: Get OSGeo4W installer and run it Choose advanced install Select qgis-dev, osgearth-bin, osg-bin from the desktop packages Select osgeart-dev, osg-dev from libs Run Open Qgis, Read more…
This week I managed to cross compile qgis and started working on packaging it. See the previous post for more details.
Finally I managed to cross compile qgis using a NDK r5c standalone toolchain. Currently the scripts to produce the binaries require the necessitas qt source to be present on the host since QtUiTools need to be compiled as well. This should be only until QtUitools is included in necessitas (maybe Read more…
This week I fought against libiconv and spatialite that did not want to properly crosscompile. Due to time pressure I decided to temporarly work on it and moved on compiling qgis. I get to the linking part of the process where I get many errors. I m now looking into Read more…
This week I was at a mountaineering course so I could only work in the evening/nights. despite of the lack of time I made some nice progresses, I got qgis to configure properly (for some reasons it still needs to run twice) and to start compile. while compiling I run Read more…
This week I started cross compiling qgis and encountered some problems that I could’t solve yet but I’m working on it. UPDATE: I just managed to have QGIS to properly configure, by using -DQT_QTUITOOLS_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/qt4/QtUiTools since it appears that necessitas has no QtUiTools yet. I’ll look into it. UPPDATE2:or maybe not… Read more…
Last night Pirmin committed our Globe plugin to the QGIS trunk. this means that getting the needed dependencies (see below), building QGIS with -DWITH_GLOBE=ON and activating the plugin its all it takes to get a super globe running on QGIS. Dependencies: sudo apt-get install osgearth osgearth-dev openscenegraph (should be enough) Read more…
This week I re-factored the install script to make it cleverer, compiled expat library, fixed the last problem that was blocking GDAL from installing and compiled QWT library using necessitas. As well I started and started looking on compiling qgis and how to add external libs to a necessitas package. Read more…
This week i finally got PROJ, GEOS and GDAL to compile and install. I updated all the instller scripts to use the NDK stand alone toolchain, using Android.mk files turned out to be more a hassle than useful. Furthermore using the standalone NDK toolchain the compire process can be totally Read more…
