[silica] Need more help with build instructions

[b100dian]

I am not sure where qmake and make need to be run for developing on sailfish. (that imples also where to install the dependencies).

Is it the host OS or the build VM? (SB2?)

For both my archlinux host and the SF build VM, I get:

Project MESSAGE: SailfishOS daemon build
Project MESSAGE: The project will be installed in /usr
Project ERROR: mlite5 development package not found
make: *** [Makefile:92: sub-daemon-make_first-ordered] Error 

at make.

Also how come

Other dependencies can be installed from the Ubuntu package repositories

How would installing dependencies on the host machine help? Are these instructions to build the x86 binary?

Here's what I got so far, maybe worth a readme update:

The build commands need to be issues on the build VM through sb2.

To get into the build machine (if started by Sailifsh IDE) ssh -l mersdk localhost -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk

There, you use the sb2 command to set one of the arm targets as default.

Next, you issue commands like qmake as sb2 qmake The commands requiring root like sb2 -R make install

You need to add this repo sb2 -R zypper ar http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/piggz:/kf5/sailfishos_3.4.0.24/ piggz and sb2 -R zypper refresh To install missing packages, as pointed out by build errors, use sb2 -R zypper in mkcal-qt5-devel

Docs updated, thanks
