[SailfishDevel] Problems with the emulator (I think)

[Juha Kallioinen]

Hi Lauri,

you don't mention which SDK installer you have used. That would be vital 
information in troubleshooting this and any future problems :-)

None of the problems below seem to concern the SDK emulator. I believe 
these are build time problems?

The sailfishapp.h is part of the libsailfishapp-devel package, which is 
preinstalled in the latest "1310" installer targets released last month. 
If you have an older SDK, then this package might not yet be available.

If you are using the latest SDK, then with this information at hand, I 
cannot fathom why it would not be found.

When you say "When I created my new project", how did you create it?

This looks perfectly fine, although unnecessarily cryptic.

There is in fact no package called "jolla-sailfish-core". The 
jolla-sailfish-core is a pattern, not a package. A pattern is metadata 
describing a collection of packages. Unfortunately the web management 
view does not understand that and shows it as a normal package and tries 
to install it as a normal package.

What's happening in the background is that the web management calls 
zypper install for the "package", but since there's no such package, it 
does nothing and unnecessarily syncs the results between the target and 
the host.

If you try to add some real package, then it should report something 
different.

Best regards,

  Juha
