My application is an aircraft navigation system (open source, see https://sourceforge.net/projects/pilotnavigator/), currently running on Ubuntu.
I have one QGLWidget and physically next to that a GUI QtWidget.
Mainwindow is also a QtWidget.
I stumbled on this C++ issue when I posted a question on how to use the QtSerialPort (for gps and pressure sensors) module within Sailfish. I do want to port the GUI to QML somewhere in time (I have done some testing: huge amount of work), but I first want to test the application on Sailfish as it is now. I do use the pro file of the current project, but I have to add the QtSerialPort to the (Mer?) SDK before I can build the project. On Ubuntu I just build the .pro file of QtSerialPort with the current qmake, and the libs, headers, etc. end up nicely within the SDK, ready to be used for new projects.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.

Nothing prevents you from using C++ only, but having said that its usually only fullscreen opengles2 games that goes with that approach.

Usually you just make QtQuick application, where you do UI part with QML and backend part in C++ aka. hybrid app. I would encourage to go this way, of course depending what kind of application you are doing (you didn't mention if you application if fullscreen opengles2 game).

If you have existing C++ project, then its just enough for you to open the existing .pro file with creator, you don't have to use the wizard to make a new project. Drawback is that look and feel wont be consistent with other applications if you don't use the QML Sailfish components for the UI.

Hi,
My project is C++.
It looks like Sailfish is only Qt Quick (new project only allows this option).
Is C++ a no-go for sailfish?
If not, how do I proceed.
Thanks.
