QOrbiter Targets

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:

1. 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)
2. 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 Wheezy - Qt lib version = 5.2.0

Packages/Directories

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

Non-OnScreen Orbiters

Mobile Tablets/Phones

Android

Android is the main target for smaller skins.

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

Desktops/Laptops

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 Wheezy - Qt lib version = 5.2.0

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

Relevant directories

Package: lmce-qorbiter-skins-desktop ??
Files..: qOrbiter_src/qml/desktop/* ??

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)
