Hmm, can't give any explicit instuctions, but generally installing files to user's home directory is big no no. Settings and user data is saved to user's home directory but the files must be generated runtime. If some files absolutely have to be in user's home directory in order to program to work they can be installed for example to /usr/share and then copied to home directory if they are missing, but there should be very little reason to do this if program is designed properly.
Can't help you further than this, I'm so sorry. Try searching or asking in talk.maemo.org :(
I placed optify file with text "auto" in debian/, but the real problem is now with the program. Like QFile::open can't open files and can't make necessary files in /opt/qtirreco
Mhh, I'm not an expert unfortunately...
How did you optify it? Did you move files to /opt and create symlinks? I think symlinks are necessary.
I changed the paths but now it seems the application doesnt have enough permittions to open files and stuff in /opt/qtirreco. So it wont work at all. Tried also add /usb/bin/qtirreco to sudoers but didnt fix it. Any ideas?
/opt/qtirreco would be perfect, don't worry.
Don't know if user/multimedia is good, maybe utilities would be more appropriate since according to many wiki pages the multimedia category should contains only audio/video playing related apps.
And for that optify thing, do I use the maemo-optify script and place a call for that in debian/rules?
But first thing tomorrow after school I will make changes that all the files installed goes to /opt and under that is it ok to be /opt/qtirreco ?
Sure I can move the files, but will that do the whole trick? Is that Section: user/multimedia all right or do I have to change that?
Completely agree with Stefanos, it should be installed all under /opt.
@Niko: sorry but I can't understand why all those tests :S. Can't you just move those files in /opt?
This program installs files under /home/user/.qtirreco. I don't know if this is allowed/acceptable, but I don't believe it is a good habit since those files are owned by root. Why not install them under /opt and avoid confusion?
Okay, i'm gonna run unit-tests and memory leak tests for qtirreco, then upload optified package. Hope it takes less memory then.
However, app works very very well: it's amazing how can I change programs from my sofa 2.5 meters distant from the TV, and without having to precisely pointing the phone. Just incredible, the N900 will never stop amazing me.
When this will be optified, it will be perfect.
