Howto about Qt QML and Ofono

Hi all together.

I wrote a little howto about how to use Ofono with Phonesim in the back
and a Qt application as frontend. The Qt applicatin is devided into two
parts, the C++ part where all the D-Bus stuff is handled and the QML
part where you can use C++ methods to e.g. activate the Ofono modem or
do something when an Ofono signal is recieved. The howto is separated
into three parts:

>http://matgnt.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/qt-ofono-d-bus-and-qml-part-3/

I hope this helps people out there to create cool new phone
applications. You're welcome to leave a note here or on the howto directly.

Your lovely program gives a good demo on how to writing an application based on oFono. oFono does claim it will help on building application in a convenient way, so the prosperity of application will definitely bring feedback to oFono and make oFono grow better. 
I have two comments on your first part: 1) configure is not in the git tree of oFono, so we will use bootstrap-configure instead. 2) I'm sure your phonesim works well. But we also have another phonesim derived from your repo, which we had some modification and enhancement in. The repo is "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ofono/phonesim.git". The building command is same as oFono, and the execution command is "./phonesim -p 12345 -gui src/default.xml".

Thanks Yang, I've added the ./bootstrap command to the listing. I also
wrote down a hint to the ofono branch of phonesim.

"bootstrap-configure" is a single script, rather than two different ones.

There is a bootstrap script also, and bootstrap-configure basically
runs it and then runs configure with a pre-set of switches.

and more important with a pre-set of switches that every developer
should use since it enables proper debug and maintainer mode. With these
switches the compiler becomes your best test tool before submitting
patches.

However bootstrap and bootstrap-configure is not intended for packaging.
And that is why you only find these in the ofono.git repository and not
in the tarballs.

Thanks for your comment. As mentioned in the thread before, there are
two scripts. The problem with "bootstrap-configure" is, that it enables
the --enable-capng switch which may cause problems. It'll probably end
up in missing files. Therefore I chose "bootstrap" to just create the
configure script and then use it without any configuration arguments -
just the defaults. For the purpose of the howto, the debug switches are
not really necessary.

Best regards,
Matthias

You could use 'sudo apt-get install libcap-ng-dev' or 'yum install -y libcap-ng-devel' to install this library.

One comment is that we normally call our project as 'oFono' instead 'Ofono'. :-)
