2.2.4. qvfb (Qtopia Virtual Frame Buffer)
The “qvfb” is a “Qtopia Virtual Frame Buffer” tool that allows you to simulate your application software on x11.
(Also see Section 1). As already described in Section 1, you may test and debug your application to a certain
extent without loading your application to the target device (SL-series Zaurus) by using the “qvfb”. The following is
a screen shot executing the “example” application that came with the Qtopia SDK.
Note that the “qvfb” uses the binary compiled for x86. Also you should note that the device specific part (such as
storage device name dev/hdc1) cannot be executed AS-IS on the SL-series Zaurus, and thus you need to make
necessary changes by #fdef … #endif.
2.2.5. progen
The “progen” is a tool that generates *.pro file necessary for “tmake” to create a Makefile. The “progen” is located
in $QTDIR/tmake/progen (or /opt/Qtopia/tmake/progen).
The *pro file lists *.cpp and *.h files that you wish to make. However, when the project(s) or file(s) are newly
added, it is easy to make mistake if you add them manually. The “progen” will help and assist you doing this task,
as it scans the necessary files in the directory and add them to the *.pro file. It may also be worth while to create a
script that does “progen” and “tmake” in a series, so that you do not have to do them individually.
