Hi @vadrian89 What would be great from my point of view would be if you could get qtox working on the phone.

I'm not at a point that I can do that, at the moment I'm caught up in a lot of learning.
Besides trying to learn my way through Ubuntu Touch development I am also on an online course for another programming language and with work I stop everything at 22:00.
I have looked at the application you mentioned and from the looks of it, it can be done though a bit hard because it needs a port for the UI, but still I'm not qualified to take a charge on developing it, sorry.

@vadrian89
to make it compile , this is what i've done:

sudo apt install libnotify-dev
sudo apt install qt5
sudo apt install qtpim5-dev
sudo apt install lcov
sudo apt install gcovr

but see below app discussion: link, i have a Path problem when launching messaging-app

if you are in a lxd container, need to install trough lxc exec name_of_your_container -- apt install ...

Well I'm really pleased that you're getting on board with UT development. Good luck with it all.

@3arn0wl

Thank you very much.

I installed in the container made by Ubuntu SDK all you mentioned except qt5 which it says it doesn't find package and now I get:

It still doesn't find libnotify despite it being installed but now it also has issues with Qt5Versit....
I saw your issue right before creating making mine, but nothing comes to mind which could help you......are you sure the qml file is being deployed though?

Did you install the armhf version of libnotify-dev (aka apt-get install libnotify-dev:armhf) in your container? (I assume you are compiling for armhf).

[vadrian89]

@bhdouglass
I have not installed the armhf version of libnotify-dev, I will let you know how it goes after I install it.

Thank you.

[vadrian89]

@bhdouglass
It worked, installing armhf version of libnotify and qtpim5-dev, but now it fails at linkage:

I'm not sure, but your container might be a little messed up (my go-to is usually to rebuild it). You might have unintentionally messed it up by installing non-armhf stuff.

[vadrian89]

@bhdouglass made a new container through Ubuntu SDK IDE (desktop kit this time) and I still have the same issue.

[bhdouglass]

@vadrian89 can you try doing an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade within the container? If that doesn't change anything then you must be still missing a library needed for compiling.
