[06:46] <MrPicard> Hello.
[13:42] <RalphBa> hi there
[13:44] <RalphBa> I 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?
[14:14] <RalphBa> appdevs, anyone here?
[14:15] <nik90> RalphBa, Hi
[14:16] <RalphBa> nik90, hi

[14:16] <nik90> RalphBa, 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] <RalphBa> no, its not about the sdk. the developing is happening in unity
[14:16] <RalphBa> I'm speaking about the apps itself
[14:17] <RalphBa> using the ubuntu sdk components
[14:17] <nik90> RalphBa, I don't think it will work when you use ubuntu specific components like the Content-hub, Ubuntu Download Manager and so on.
[14:18] <nik90> The 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] <RalphBa> nik90, for sure this cannot, but others gui related components?
[14:19] <RalphBa> icons, buttons, views
[14:19] <nik90> RalphBa, for just gui related components, if you install the ubuntu-ui-toolkit and other qt packages, then yes it should theorectically work.
[14:19] <RalphBa> panels
[14:19] <nik90> after all ubuntu-ui-toolkit is based of the qt toolkit
[14:19] <RalphBa> and concerning windows and mac?
[14:20] <nik90> theoretically it should
[14:20] <RalphBa> for sure the main focus is linux... but it would be very nice if it would work with other os out of the box
[14:21] <nik90> RalphBa, agreed, however that effort should come from the windows and mac community folks ;)
[14:21] <nik90> as 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 mac
[14:21] <RalphBa> well... I fear they do not know anything about an ubuntu sdk :D
[14:22] <nik90> RalphBa, 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] <nik90> since even if we do port it to windows and mac, who is the user base if they dont know about ubuntu-sdk?
[14:23] <RalphBa> yes, you're right. how I said. Just hoped someone already played around with this a bit
[14:26] <RalphBa> nik90, do you know if other distors already implement or at least plan to implement the ubuntu-ui-toolkit in their repos?
[14:27] <RalphBa> debian, arch..
[14:29] <nik90> RalphBa, not that I know of
[14:32] <RalphBa> nik90, ok, thanks
