Qt

Recently I assembled a PCB I designed with the latest revision of nRF51822AC, and for my surprise the code I wrote on BLE400 development board just doesn’t work on the new platform. My main concern is that I never really figured out have to use Qt’s QBS to separate compilation of C files with GCC and CPP files with G++.In addition because I don’t properly compile the application, it seems that the G++ screws with the memory addresses regarding C code. Long story short, I realised that Qt Creator can also make use of Makefile directly in the IDE. Best part, it is extremely simple to setup, even with debugging. In this article I will go through what I changed in the nRF51 makefile to be able to compile CPP files and have two versions of release and debug for Qt Creator to compile. If you’re a hardcore compiler and makefile guru, this article probably is not for you.

For one of my projects I wanted to develop a crash reporting dialog where user can enter the steps he did to crash the application and then by pressing send button the app automatically will send me user report and the log to my e-mail address. Unfortunatelly Qt doesn't have a Smtp library, and I don't want anything heavy just to send a simple string of characters through gmail smtp server.

In work I needed a function which will be able to copy or move the data around QTableWidget, unfortunetty for me QTableWidget doesn't have an event which will tell you which cell was dragged, and where it was dropped. After couple hours of Googling I still wasn't able to find what I was looking for, so I begun to think how can I do it my way.

I really love Qt, so one of the first things I wanted to do is to get my Qt application running on raspberry Pi. 
The QtOnPi didn't work for me, because it is using Qt5, but my apps require good old Qt 4 desktop widgets. But what I understand it is possible to port it to Qt5
