Im looking at running some core apps on desktop i can get most of

nut im looking at running the tasks-app from canonical on the desktop
ive pulled the code down but getting errors running with qmlscene
is there a way of bulling a pre built copy or even getting the
click and installing the click on my ubuntu desktop install?
also
im currently running ubuntu 14.04 and just about got the sdk
running but it wont install a arm emulator
i want to start writing some apps and i think it may be not
working becuase im running a older system seems to be problems
with the sdk
im going to upgrade to 16.04 lts when it releases and hopeful that
will fix all issues to be current
is it worth looking at upgrading to 15.10 or the alpha of 16.04
release while it gets released
i dont mind rough around the edges on bleeding as long as i can
get some touch apps and the sdk running
only need a web browser and email and a console most of the time
anyway!
thank you for any feedback
Hi Wayne,
here's how I setup the machine that we used for one of the usertesting
sessions:
- install 16.04 (it's quite stable, especially nowadays, and if you
don't mind the "rough around the edges" then I'd go for it :) )
- install unity8-desktop-session-mir package
- install ubuntu-sdk-ide (make sure you're using the SDK PPA to get
the latest stuff, see
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/blog/2015/11/19/here-comes-brand-new-ubuntu-sdk-ide-tools/
)
- create an amd64 chroot from QtCreator's
Tools->Options->Ubuntu->"Create click target"
- open the project file of the application you want to build
- in case the project file is cmake-based, run cmake using -DCLICK_MODE=on
- please note: each app may have its own special adjustments you have
to make to be able to build it on desktop
- once you've built the app, you can use Build->Ubuntu->"Create click
package" to create the corresponding click package
- install the click package using "sudo click install
--user=<yourusername> --allow-unauthenticated"
- log out from Unity7
- log in to Unity8
- enjoy! :D
This is pretty much a dump of what I currently have in my head, so
that could be missing some steps, but feel free to ask any question
you may have :)
Even better, if you pop in to IRC (#ubuntu-app-devel channel) we can
go through it together, and post the final "tutorial" here once
everything is working on your side :)
Hope that helps!
Andrea
Wayne
