Hi all.
I've been looking at Qtopia 2.1 and have been thinking about giving compilation a shot for my YP3700. I downloaded:
qtopia-free-source-2.1.1.tar.gz
qt-embedded-2.3.10-free.tar.gz
tmake-1.13.tar.gz
And am using Ubuntu, ok now I'm stuck. I can't really modify the system I'm using, but I can create a VM for development. Where should I start, is there a howto which isn't seven trillion pages long in Aramaic? I've searched and read some stuff but my eyes get heavy and I nod off or it goes right over my head. I'm not much of a programmer, made it as far as C/C++ and then stopped many years ago ;-) GUI stuff and I'm lost. LOL!
I don't know how to tell what's relevant and what isn't, what's worth reading and what isn't.
Can someone with a kind heart and good spirit point me to a good place to start, what I need, what to read? I'm keen to learn.
Cheers ;-)

Qtopia 2.1 does not use tmake, and ships with qmake, and builds it when you configure.

You can skip the part about building qt3, unless you need translation/languages.

LOL! See? not a clue ;-)

Oh, now THAT's nice!
Easy when you know how ;-) Thanks ipotter, you king of Qtopia!
I'll have a good play then move onto stage 2 - cross compiling for my YP3700.

lpotter, does Qtopia 2.1 now includes patches form sash? he told me there were a few problems that he ran upon when building it for 5500...
