The MeeGo SDK includes many development components. Understanding these components is important when running the installer for the first time. This page describes each component and gives a recommendation for normal development.
The MeeGo SDK is made up of the following components (file sizes may vary between operating system).
Tools
The following tools are the core of the MeeGo SDK.
MeeGo SDK tools
Component | Description | Installed Size |
---|---|---|
Qt Creator | Cross-platform Qt IDE | 143 MB |
Qt Simulator | Qt / Qt Mobility simulation environment | 800 MB |
QEMU Virtual Machine | Used to boot a MeeGo image on your host system | 11 MB |
Targets
A MeeGo "target" is a collection of 3 components: toolchain, build libraries, and virtual machine image with device skin. Targets exist for x86 and ARM-based devices such as tablets, handsets and netbooks. A developer must have one of the MeeGo targets installed and one is recommended for new developers. More can be installed if desired.
