Waze QT
« on: June 18, 2014, 11:25:50 pm »
First I would like to apologize because of my english. I'm french

I'm using the classical version of WAZE on my 808, and this version doesn't have a 3D map.
The WAZE QT has more options and a 3D map, unfortunately this WAZE QT run only on MEEGO. (.DEB)

IS anybody here who knows how run a .DEB on symbian ? I downoaded QT Mobility for Symbian but I don't know exactly if it could help me.

I already asked to the developper (Assaf PAZ) about his WAZE QT but he doesn't seem interested to continue his work on Symbian. In this video at 0.50 secondes he talk about a Symbian Version but I didn't find anything  :(

You can't. Debian packages are for MeeGo (Linux) and as far as i know, there is no Linux emulator for Symbian.

Unfortunatly I was expecting this answer.

It only remains for me to develop MY WAZE myself  ::)

On http://applist.schumi1331.de/ it's possible to download new apps. Maybe one day WAZE QT will arrive on this store. I suppose several people continue to work on symbian. What are the tools to develop symbian applications ? When I see What only one man can do, I begin to dream.

Thanks very much for your speedy response

You will require the Nokia Qt SDK or the Belle SDK and Carbide C++ 3.2 to develop your own apps and if you want to port the MeeGo WAZE, you will need the sources.

Well that isn't the only App store, we have our own as well.

Tools wise most are here: http://symbian-developers.net/symbian-development-tools-live/

And of course the source code itself.

I found this page https://code.google.com/p/waze-qt/
I'm going to search here for the source code. Before I have to take a look at the symbian Developer.
Nice challenge...

I installed Activepearl, Carbide.
I didn't find Belle SDK ?

Honestly I opened Carbide and I didn't understand anything. I have to finds tips "in french" to help me. Do you know a community of french developpers where I can be helped by francophones ?
I'm very motivated but I'm a rookie.

Why you use carbide to open Qt project. You should use Qt Creator which already have Anna Sdk but you can also download belle Sdk as additional plugin. It is better to leave carbide for symbian c++ projects. It quite old and users unfriendly to me.

After a moment I finally downloaded

the QTsdk-offline-win-v1.2.1.exe
and Nokia_Symbian_Belle_v1.0.zip

I unzipped the Nokia_Symbian_Belle_v1.0.zip and installed the setup. Is it enough to add the additional plugin of Belle in Qt Creator ?

In the zip file of waze QT, where is the source code. Everything I imagine...  ???

QtSdk already have anna Sdk installed and that can be use for both anna and belle development. There is no need for belle Sdk but if you still really want it then you can get through Sdk maintenance in update section. No need to download belle Sdk separately as that is for carbide use.

Waze zip file content is the source code.You need to unzip Waze files and open the pro. file in Qt Creator. From there things will get complicated and you have to learn yourself.

Belle SDK includes more header files than Anna, so you have to use Belle in some cases or copy the related files manually.

I believe you are very close to having the app! Maybe you can write the developer a nice email asking for the Qt project, promising to port it to Symbian.

Edit: I see you aready obtained the source code. Things should be easier now.

You can try to explain nicely (as you did in the youtube video comment) how important it is for you to have this app and how greatful you'd be if he helped you. Try to elaborate a bit the part with Symbian, tell him how you feel that the platform has been abandoned.

If that doesn't work, you can still ask him for advice if you plan developing the app from zero. In that case, you should first check for the Waze API to see what other languages you need to know (java, whatever) and then get the tools and documentation.

Bon courage! (good luck!)

I bought a french book for Qt4 and C++ to learn the programmation. After that I'll be valid to contact the developper.
I found a french community who help me but I'll let you know about my project. I'm very excited to start  :)
