Hi Matze
It is confusing at first, but once you "get it", it is easy!
I cover that in the chapter "Installing By Hand to the SDK Build
Engine via the Control Center" in:
http://flyingsheeponsailfish.blogspot.ch/2013/11/deploying-additional-packages-to.html
You are right there are 2 VMS, the obvious Emulator, and the
headerless SDK Build Engine.
The Emulator is the easy one, you SSH in, and use PkCon or zypper to
install stuff directly to make them available to you apps.
The SDK Build Engine is a little bit more tricky.
Once you SSH in, zypper is available, but if you zypper at that level,
all you are doing is adding stuff to the operating system.
Within this VM is SB2, which is the Build Engine itself. Others on
this mailist are much better qualified than me to tell you more about
it.
So lets SSH in as user mersdk:
ssh -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk
mersdk at localhost
Then we can enter into the build engine with:
sb2 -t SailfishOS-i486-x86
After that we can use zypper again, e.g. to list qt5 packages
installed to the build engine:
zypper se qt5 | grep "i |"
If you install things within SB2, it is equivalent to installing via
the SDK Control Center.
You can back out of SB2 with:
exit
Then if you repeat:
zypper se qt5 | grep "i |"
You should get a much shorter list of installed qt5 packages.
Have fun
Chris
