Revision as of 01:18, 11 January 2015

This page is meant as a roadmap to existing and expected qOrbiter targets, including specific requirements of each.

Forward Roadmap of current and future qOrbiter targets:

OnScreen Orbiters (other apps available and non-integrated media)
1. Window Managed
  1. X11 (Linux - i386)
    1. on your core edit /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/scripts/DeviceTemplate change the line "DT=" to "DT=2277"
    2. run /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh
    3. make sure to re-do this with the original values to create normal MDs again.
2. Non-Window Managed (Wayland/Weston window managed in the future)
  1. EGLFS (rpi,armhf)
Non-OnScreen Orbiters (integrated media)
1. Desktops/Laptops (Linux/Windows/Mac)
2. Mobile Tablets/Phones (Android/iOS)

OnScreen Orbiters

Window Managed

Linux

Linux is the main platform qOrbiter is developed on.

LinuxMCE 1204 - Qt lib version = 5.2.0
LinuxMCE 1404 - Qt lib version = 5.2.1
LinuxMCE RPi - Qt lib version = 5.2.0

Packages/Directories

Package: lmce-qorbiter-skins-desktop
Files: qOrbiter_src/qml/desktop ?? (phenigma)

Non-OnScreen Orbiters

1. Desktops/Laptops (Linux/Windows/Mac)
2. Mobile Tablets/Phones (Android/iOS)

Android

Android is the main target for smaller skins.

~~Qt lib version = 4.8.2 (necessitas)~~
Qt lib version = 5.3.2 NDK

Relevant directories

qOrbiter_src/qml/android
qOrbiter_src/android

Windows x86

Windows x86 successfully builds with the MSVC compiler.

Unfortunately, there is a segfault that happens shortly after skin-loading takes place. The root cause of the segfault has not yet been determined.

Qt lib version = 4.8.x (latest 4.x should be usable)

Relevant directories

qOrbiter_src/qml/desktop

iOS

iOS support added as the Qt 5.3 release.

Relevant Directories

qOrbiter_src/qml/ios

MacOSX

Qt lib version = 4.8.x builds to real OSX .app bundle with icon. Does actually work (checked may 2013)
Qt lib version = 5 does not compile atm

-Windows RT could be a target, but there are no devs for it atm.
-In order to work on WinRT, QOrbiter will need to be made into a Windows Store app.  There are a few dependency hurdles that will need to be cleared in order for that to happen.
-*QT libs needs to be ported to WinRT.
-**Status of that project can be found here: [http://qt-project.org/wiki/WinRT]
-*DCE and other supporting LinuxMCE libs need to be ported to WinRT.
-**Not all win32 apis are available from the Windows Store app sandbox.  Threading and sockets come to mind.  Significant re-write and/or shims may be necessary.
