This article will explain how to utilize the Qt development framework with linuxmce. Currently, there are a few different types of devices that utilize the Qt framework within linuxmce
- Hue Controller - For controlling Phillips Hue color changing LED lights using QtNetwork to interface with the JSON api of the device.
- linuxmceTag - A simple command line media scanner which scans video files, and then does its best to lookup information via online api's to fill in metadata
- QOrbiter - Graphical user interface for linuxmce, allowing one to have classic orbiter functionality.
General Requirements
These are the general requirements for working with Qt and linuxmce to develop devices
- Qt Development SDK - http://www.qt.io/download/
- Choose the open source version. This will allow you to download the source as needed, libraries, and the IDE, Qt Creator.
- If you are targeting Qt4, you would best apt-get install qt4-dev-tools. This will pull in Qt4 libraries and the Qt Creator for qt4. Please note if creating a new project, you will be politely
asked to use Qt5. Qt4 based projects are scheduled to be moved to Qt5.
- A functioning linuxmce installation, VM or otherwise.
- You will also need the source code, which you can check out at http://git.linuxmce.org.
- Follow this existing article: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Developing_a_DCE_Device
Once you have setup your linuxmce box according to the article above
