Sailfish Framework

Sailfish OS is a general-purpose mobile operating system based on Linux. It combines middleware with open source code, user interface, and other third-party components. Sailfish OS Sailfish SDK are based on Linux and Mer cores. Sailfish OS includes a multi-task graphical shell based on the Wayland server protocol and can run Andriod applications via a proper compatibility mode.

Sailfish SDK uses Qt with VirtualBox to develop, compile and emulate Sailfish OS. Such method enables the user to test developed software on a virtual machine, isolates development from other computer processes, and leaves the system unchanged after development and testing.

To connect the Sailfish framework to a mobile application development project:

1. Set up developer environment for Sailfish OS.

2. Add string to the root file with the *.pro extension after the project is created:

LIBS += -L<path to library folder> -lhhive -ldl -lcurl -lcrypto -lz

INCLUDEPATH += <path to header files folder>

3. Install the additional curl crypto libraries:

3.1.  Connect a compiler machine using the command:

3.2.  Get a list of supported compilation platforms using the command:

After the command is executed, the response is obtained, for example:

3.3.  Install the packages openssl-devel and curl-devel using the command:

Example of request:
