[GCompris-devel] gcompris [Sailfish OS]

Mon Dec 15 12:37:46 UTC 2014

Hi,

I will push soon a package that not fails at all (I managed to remove
the /bin/sh dependency).

I thought that the emulator used the armv7hl version ? I'm not sure on
how to install the application in the emulator...

Can I ssh using nemo
(https://sailfishos.org/wiki/SDK_Beta_Qt5_Known_Issues#Emulator) and
then scp the file and deploy it manually ? I didn't manage to add a
terminal on the emulator...

I hope the remaining problems don't come because of SailfishOS overlay
(https://sailfishos.org/sailfish-silica/sailfish-application-lifecycle.html).
I'll try making changes on gcompris to handle this to see if it causes
the problem...

Johnny
