[project] TwitterClient

Hi,

i was trying to create a twitter-client for m8 but had several problems.

Maybe we can make it as a community delvelopment...

My idea was to use a existing C++-twitter-lib and only create the framework.
There are two of these libs:
twitlib - Project Hosting on Google Code
twitcurl - Project Hosting on Google Code

Twitlib uses the Qt-lib.
Twitcurl uses cURL.

The Meizu-SDK cannot compile both of these libs by default.
I made some changings in the libs and installed the necessary additions could compile but not link...
I never used external libs and i am not that familiar with VS either.


Problems:
cURL whants to use linux-headers when compiling with the Meizu SDK.
After solving that problem by changing cURL and adding an additional header linking error when you want to use the twitterobject.

After adding Qt compiling is possible but linking error when you want to use the twitterobject.


Maybe i am the problem, so if anyone of you is able to compile and link(!) one of these libs, it is only a small step to a M8-Twitter client.

so no one is interested or able to help? :-(

Just show where the problems are then we can help. I will not dl and install complete qt now because i think qt is little overkill for the m8.
But if ou show which errors you get i will try to help

There are several QT based M8 software: plutopdf, plutoweather, etc. Maybe looking at them would help? QT might (or might not) be overkill but it does definitely allow a lot of existing code to be re-used.

I want help, but I´m not a Coder or Dev.

But when Stopthewar back is, perhaps he can help..He is programer..

i don't want to use qt for my app..
the library twitlib uses qt for whatever - i don't know.. or i totally missunderstood it... :-/

i will continue trying and will post more concrete problems

I did a short look on it:
you need qttwitlib and qt 4.
Then you must link your prog to the twitlib and to the qt libs you need.

In Visual studio:
rechtsklick auf Projektnamen (links im bild) dann Eigenschaften dann Konfigurationseigenschaften dann Linker und dort dann Eingabe bei "zusätzliche Abhängigkeiten" die lib einbinden. Das selbe etwa bei C/C++ eigenschaften mit "Zusätzlichen Includeverzeichnis" das Qt dir dazu.
Dann müssts gehn

that is was i have done..
i don't have it anymore cause i played with the other lib and installed a newer sdk, i will recreate it and post then again
but thx for this :-)

It'd be cool to have a working twitter client alright.

twitter works on windows mobile now... pocketwit - Project Hosting on Google Code
it looks really old fashioned and windows-ish, so if you can come up with a better interface, i would definitely use yours!

Does it work on M8?

not yet, but it will with 1.0

That is my problem...

maybe it is a very stupid mistake.. i am only familiar with C not with C++

you got things compiled but failed on linking, which means you probably got wrong QTwitLib lib. the linker cannot find the positions of QTwitLib::QTwitLib and QTwitLib::~QTwitLib in lib files.

look at your qtwitlib first. see if it got proper compiled and linked.

I found a problem: you need to get the wince version of Qt. The normal version is compiled as .a libs and those cant be used by visual studio at all.
So you need to get the QtCe Version as source and compile them.
The problem here is that you need to compile it against the m8 sdk and this isn direct supported by qt.
So you need to tinker aroung with the makefiles and the include and lib dirs and stuff.
i tried it and failed but i need to start all over again and do it a straigt way. When i know how to compile qt for ce i will post it here

But feel free to try it n you own
Windows CE: Qt 4.6: Installing Qt on Windows CE

The error message does point more to QTwitlib than Qt lib itself. But r3wDy is right that Qt CE lib will have to be used. Inside PlutoPDF, there are QtCore.dll and QtGui.dll already compiled for WinCE.

puh... that sounds hard..

i need <QtCore/QString>

but thx for your help so far :-)

when i find time to test all your ideas etc. i will post my results but my time is limited atm.. :-/

ok i played i little ;-)

i guess i had no problems with with qt cause i took the compiled version (what is for win32).. that is not possible right? when i try to compile it with the meizu sdk it has problems with qt what is right when i understand you correct...

Code:

QtCored4.lib(QtCored4.dll) : fatal error LNK1112: Modul-Computertyp "X86" steht in Konflikt mit dem Zielcomputertyp "THUMB".

googletranslate

Code:

QtCored4.lib (QtCored4.dll): fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with the destination type "THUMB".

is an errormsg that you would expect?

if qt fails that might help for twitcurl
