Re: [QtMoko] NeronGPS no worky (was Re: [QtMoko] GPS navigation apps for QtMoko)
Hi, FYI, I tested it on the original QtExtended 4.4.3 from Nokia, then on QtMoko v14, QtMoko v15 and the recent QtMoko v16. I had no issues with these platforms.

Is QtMoko v14 sufficiently recent? It's native to the Qt framework that QtMoko uses and doesn't need an X server. It has a slightly different interface from Navit and tango, but it's pretty easy to get used to. It also does not even run on my FreeRunner: every time I try running it from the QtEI Applications list, I get a dialog saying: Application terminated NeronGPS was terminated due to application error.

Building Debian package will probably not take too much effort except that the Qtopia GPS API would have to be handled somehow. Sources can be found here [1]. The problem with QtMoko and Debian packages is that most of Debian packages are built for Qt/X11 while we use Qt/framebuffer and that means different set of dependecies and probably also different binaries. That's why we have our package feed which has also the advantage that it works on QtMoko distros based on open embedded/arch rootfs.
