Can someone who has accoplished getting Qtopia Desktop running in Linux please point me to a good set of instructions? I keep running into dependency problems..

I went compile the qtopia_free tar files and I get "error 2: failed to locate" and a string of files... Am I installing the wrong packages, because this seems more complicated than it was described to me?

the file is qtopiafree is the developer kit not the desktop

their site can be hard to navigate.
You use redhat so try this file:

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/sourc...6.2-1.i386.rpm

Good luck to you

Thanks alot. I will give that a shot. Woohoo. Windows free in 2003!...

I get this message when I rpm the file

error: Failed Dependencies:
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by qtopia-desktop-1.6.2-1

And apt says that libstdc++ is the latest version.

I am confused...

grym · 07-21-2003, 06:05 PM

what version do you have?

Pcghost · 07-21-2003, 06:07 PM

I have libstdc++-3.2.2-5

grym · 07-21-2003, 06:12 PM

hey try this one it should be for redhat 9

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/sourc...6.2-1.i386.rpm

you could also get this if you want

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/sourc...6.2-1.i386.rpm

Pcghost · 07-21-2003, 06:16 PM

Thanks. I'll try those and see if that does the trick..

Pcghost · 07-21-2003, 06:20 PM

That worked!. Thanks. Now what command is used to start the program. I can't find it on the K menu so I assume it is started from the command line?

grym · 07-21-2003, 06:27 PM

it is started from the command line untill you add a menu entry for it atleast. heh

try looking in /opt/Qtopia/bin/
the executable you are looking for is qtopiadesktop

Pcghost · 07-21-2003, 06:28 PM

Wow! Thanks for all your help grym. That just made my day..

grym · 07-21-2003, 06:32 PM
