[SailfishDevel] QtContacts available

Sun Dec 22 21:04:00 UTC 2013

Yes - all reasonably accurate.

But then there's the SDK control centre:

* Open Control Centre in SDK (the SailfishOS button on the left - don't ask why)
* Go to "Targets"
* Click manage by SailfishOS-armv7hl or SailfishOS-i486-x86
* type "contact" into the search box (no <return>)
* hmm, too many, add a space and "qt5" to see the 'as you type' search (no,
really, pay attention, it took me ages to write that)
* now click install on the one you want or note it down to add to the BuildRequires

PS there's a bug where some packages appear twice. That's because it shows the
src package too. I'm sure it'll get fixed one day :)

PPS Terminoloy: the VM is the Build Engine. The SB2 things are called 'Targets'
as they allow the BE to build for a variety of targets. Note also the Toolchains
for a variety of architectures.
