[SailfishDevel] Harmattan to Sailfish Migration: QCamera not found

[Aurindam Jana]

Hi,
 
This is because the qt-mobility-devel package is not installed in the target that is shipped with the SDK.
However, you can install it via the SDK Control Center.
 
Start the MerSDK VM. In Qt Creator, go to SailfishOS Mode (the sailfish icon on the left panel between Projects and Analyze). This is the SDK Control Center. You should see a page where you can configure targets.
 
Instead if you see the message, "The SDK VM is not responding...", then from the Menu go to Tools->External->SailfishOS->Launch the MerSDK. Once the MerSDK VM is running, click on the sailfish icon next to "about:blank", you should now see a page where you can configure targets.
 
Click on "Manage" next to SailfishOS-i486-x86 and you will see a list of packages for the target. Scroll down to qt-mobility-devel and hit install.
 
Regards,
 
Aurindam
