Introduction

This example requires a working configuration of MADDE. At least one target has to be installed and set as 'default'. The basic steps to do this are described in this guide.

  • start a project in MADDE
  • use template-projects for developing
  • compile a project in MADDE
  • build a package

Templates

Templates are used in MADDE to simplify the set up of the basic skeleton for a project. The following command shows the list of available templates: 

mad pscreate -l
The command gives following output: 
TEMPLATE NAME    TYPE     DESCRIPTION
empty            prog     Empty project
lib_simple       lib      Simple example for C/C++ libraries
qt_lib_simple    qtlib    Simple example for Qt libraries
qt_simple        qtprog   Simple example for Qt programs
simple           prog     Simple example for C/C++ programs

Start the project

The goal of this example is to create a simple GTK helloworld application. Therefore we can use the "simple" template out of the list with small modifications. The following command creates a project using the "simple" template and named as "helloworld" 

mad pscreate -t simple helloworld

Afterwards the skeleton is created with the following subdirectories:

  • src: place for sourcefiles
  • debian:configuration files, which are needed to create the package later on
  • uis:empty folder for ui files which would be needed with Qt applications

Further it contains a file named "prog.pro", which is a project file, needed to create the Makefile with qmake.

Lets create a small GTK helloworld application hello.c in src directory: 

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
 
static void destroy( GtkWidget *widget,
                     gpointer   data )
{
   gtk_main_quit ();
}
 
int main( int   argc,
         char *argv[] )
{
   GtkWidget *window;
   GtkWidget *label;
   gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
   label = gtk_label_new("Hello world");
   window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);   
   g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "destroy", G_CALLBACK (destroy), NULL);
   gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), label);
   gtk_widget_show (window);
   gtk_widget_show(label);
   gtk_main ();
   return 0;
}

Compile & build

Before we can compile GTK application we have to modify prog.pro file. In prog.pro file edit SOURCES += and HEADERS += lines to contain source files in the project, in our case wee need only following line: SOURCES += hello.c

For GTK applications we want to use pkgconfig to help compiling and linking against correct libraries.

For our example we add following lines: CONFIG += link_pkgconfig and PKGCONFIG += gtk+-2.0

Now we are ready to build our application.

The following steps describe how to compile and build the project.

1. Create the Makefile: 

cd helloworld
mad qmake

2. Compile the project. 

mad make
Now the executable program helloworld is created in the helloworld/build directory.

3. Create a debian package: 

mad dpkg-buildpackage
This command will build the project and make a debian package called helloworld_0.1_armel.deb. The debian package will be created in the projects' parent directory.
