\title Deploying Applications to Maemo or MeeGo Harmattan Devices
You can specify settings for deploying applications to Maemo 5 and MeeGo
Harmattan devices in the project .pro file. You can view the settings in the
\gui {Run Settings}.
\image qtcreator-maemo-deployment.png "Deploy to device"
The files to be installed are listed in the \gui {Deploy to Device} step,
the \gui {Files to install for subproject} field. The \gui {Local File Path}
field displays the location of the file on the development PC. The
\gui {Remote Directory} field displays the folder where the file is
installed on the device. Text in red color indicates that the information is
missing. Edit the qmake
\l{http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.8/qmake-variable-reference.html#installs}
{INSTALLS variable} in the project .pro file to add the missing files.
You can use desktop files to display icons on the home screen of the
device. To add desktop files to the project file, select \gui {Add Desktop
File}. To specify the icon file to display, select \gui {Add Launcher
Icon}. To remove desktop files and icons, delete the definitions from
the project file.
If you develop your own libraries, \QC needs to be able to find them when
you compile projects depending on them. When you install MADDE, an instance
of the device file system, called sysroot, is installed to the development
PC. Libraries are copied to sysroot during the \gui {Install Debian package
to sysroot} step.
\section1 Creating Debian Installation Packages
When you run the application on the \gui{Maemo5} or \gui Harmattan target,
\QC generates a Debian installation package in the build directory by
default. You can deliver the installation package to users for installation
on devices that are of the same type and run the same firmware as the
connected device.
\image qtcreator-maemo-deb-package.png "Create installation package"
The name of the installation package is displayed in the \gui {Package name}
field in the \gui {Create Package} step. You can change the version number
in the \gui {Package version} field.
You can specify information that users see on a delivery channel, such as
Nokia Store or Maemo.org. You can specify a short description of the
application, package name, and application icon.
The Debian control file contains an application icon in encoded form. To add
the application icon to the file, select it in the \gui {Icon to be
displayed in Package Manager} field. For more information about icon files
and adding them manually, see
\l{ http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging#Displaying_an_icon_in_the_Application_Manager_next_to_your_package}
{Displaying an icon in the Application Manager next to your package}.
\note \QC automates this process for you.
\QC provides templates for a set of files that must be included in Debian
packages. When you create a \gui Maemo5 or \gui Harmattan target for a
project, \QC asks whether packaging files are to be added to the project and
to version control. If you plan to edit the packaging files, add them to
version control.
To edit the files, select a file in \gui {Adapt Debian file} and click
\gui Edit. The file opens in the text editor.
