Qt development envoriment (build instruction). #22

Hi gtalusan,

Great work on the kobo, I'm currently trying to setup at Qt creator to write an app. I followed the instructions in "Documents" and "readme.build". But when calling: ~/kobo/KoboLabs/build/build-all.sh

it compiles (a lot), i get this error:

patching file autogen.sh ~/kobo/tmp/libmng-1.0.10 ~/kobo/tmp copying configure.in copying automake template running aclocal configure.in:22: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library error: Could not find libtoolize in the path! You'll need to install a copy of libtool before continuing with the generation of the build system.

Build failed at libmng.sh, aborting

Any ideas how to solve!? (I can see the file "libmng-1.0.10 and also "libtool-2.2.8" in the tmp folder, so the file is there)

I know this is an old issue, but for anyone with the same problem: it seems libtool is not installed on your system. Libtool can be obtained here, or, if you're on Debian or Ubuntu, installed with sudo apt-get install libtool

Sorry to be off topic, but are you saying it's possible to write apps for Kobo eInk readers with the Free Software bits that published here?

And get it running on the device?

hackedd commented 10 years ago

@silverhook Yes, it seems like it should be possible to set up a crosscompiling environment using the packages in this repository.

@hackedd That sounds like a great opportunity for Kobo to reach out to the community to help with maintenance and new apps!

I’d love to have an app on my Kobo Aura to sync articles with my ownCloud server or share marginalia.

…but I digress. Let’s end this off-topic debate now and concentrate on the issue.
