RalphBahi there13:42
RalphBaI want to develop a new app. Want to make it with Qt Quick. Now I've got a few questions concerning apps created using the Ubuntu SDK and its components. 1.) Are there known problems running such apps on other desktops like KDE or Gnome? 2.) Can I compile and use such apps inside an Windows or MAc environment without much additional effort?13:44
RalphBaappdevs, anyone here?14:14
nik90RalphBa, Hi14:15
RalphBanik90, hi14:16

nik90RalphBa, I know a few app devs who do use KDE or Gnome as their desktop DE and the SDK works fine there if you have all the dependencies installed.14:16
RalphBano, its not about the sdk. the developing is happening in unity14:16
RalphBaI'm speaking about the apps itself14:16
RalphBausing the ubuntu sdk components14:17
nik90RalphBa, I don't think it will work when you use ubuntu specific components like the Content-hub, Ubuntu Download Manager and so on.14:17
nik90The Ubuntu-ui-toolkit is based on upstream Qt, however an app doesn't stick to just using the SDK. It also uses ubuntu platform specific stuff like content-hub for sharing content between apps.14:18
RalphBanik90, for sure this cannot, but others gui related components?14:18
RalphBaicons, buttons, views14:19
nik90RalphBa, for just gui related components, if you install the ubuntu-ui-toolkit and other qt packages, then yes it should theorectically work.14:19
RalphBapanels14:19
nik90after all ubuntu-ui-toolkit is based of the qt toolkit14:19
RalphBaand concerning windows and mac?14:19
nik90theoretically it should14:20
RalphBafor sure the main focus is linux... but it would be very nice if it would work with other os out of the box14:20
nik90RalphBa, agreed, however that effort should come from the windows and mac community folks ;)14:21
nik90as it is, there is a LOT of work to be done..we cannot spread ourselves even thin by trying to get it to run on windows and mac14:21
RalphBawell... I fear they do not know anything about an ubuntu sdk :D14:21
nik90RalphBa, then I suppose waiting for the sdk and ubuntu touch app to first become popular would be better rather than porting them now.14:22
nik90since even if we do port it to windows and mac, who is the user base if they dont know about ubuntu-sdk?14:22
RalphBayes, you're right. how I said. Just hoped someone already played around with this a bit14:23
RalphBanik90, do you know if other distors already implement or at least plan to implement the ubuntu-ui-toolkit in their repos?14:26
RalphBadebian, arch..14:27
nik90RalphBa, not that I know of14:29
RalphBanik90, ok, thanks14:32
