If you use CONFIG+=ordered, <i>please stop right no</i><i>w. </i>If you don't, I'll hunt you down. I promise to god I will.<br /><br />There is simply no reason to use this, ever. There's two reasons this might be in your project file:<br /><ol><li>you have no idea what you are doing, and you copied it from somewhere else</li><li>you have a target that needs to be built after another target, and you don't know any better</li></ol>If you fit into category 1, then I hope you're turning red right now, because by using CONFIG+=ordered, you're effectively screwing over multicore builds of your code. See <a href="https://github.com/rburchell/libresourceqt/commit/4c86922741eee367c194873852de53b44d59754b">a very nice case of this here</a>.<br />If you fit into category 2, then you're doing it wrong. You should specify dependencies between your targets properly like this:<br /><pre>TEMPLATE = subdirs<br />SUBDIRS = src plugins tests docs<br />plugins.depends = src<br />tests.depends = src plugins<br /></pre><br />And then you'll have docs built whenever the build tool feels like it, and the rest built when their dependencies are built.<br /><br />If you have subdirectories involved in this, then you need an extra level of indirection in your project, but it's still not rocket science:<br /><br /><pre>TEMPLATE = subdirs<br />src_lib.subdir = src/lib<br />src_lib.target = sub-src-lib<br /><br />src_plugins.subdir = src/plugins<br />src_plugins.target = sub-plugins<br />src_plugins.depends = sub-src-lib<br /><br />SUBDIRS = src_lib src_plugins<br /></pre><br />For those of you wondering why I sound frustrated about this, I've fixed so many instances of this by now that it's just getting old and tired, frankly. And I still keep running into more. That's countless minutes of wasted build time, all because of laziness boiling down to a single line.

Have you figured it out? That's right, it flickers. Horrifically.<br />So what causes this? By default, QWidgets are drawn parent first, with parents drawing children. When a widget is drawn, first, it draws its background, then it draws the actual content. That background proves to be a problem, in this case.<br />If we add the following lines to the above example, the flicker goes away, and my eyes no longer want to bleed:    view.setAttribute(Qt::WA_OpaquePaintEvent);<br />    view.setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground);<br />    view.viewport()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_OpaquePaintEvent);<br />    view.viewport()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground);<br /><br />NB: I'm not completely sure that adding it to both the view, and the viewport is completely necessary, but it can't harm at least. Make sure to re-set it if you change viewports.<br />For completeness, here's the full, fixed example:<br />int main(int argc, char **argv)<br />{<br />    QApplication application(argc, argv);<br />    QDeclarativeView view;<br />    view.setSource(QUrl("qrc:/qml/main.qml"));<br />    view.setAttribute(Qt::WA_OpaquePaintEvent);<br /><br />    view.setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground);<br />    view.viewport()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_OpaquePaintEvent);<br />    view.viewport()->setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground);<br />    view.showFullScreen();<br />    return a.exec();<br />}<br /><br />(If you're curious, Qt::WA_OpaquePaintEvent basically implies that you'll repaint everything as necessary yourself (which QML is well behaved with), and Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground tells Qt to nicely not paint the background.)<br /><br />NB: on Harmattan (and Nemo Mobile) at least, make sure you always use QWidget::showFullScreen(). The compositor in use there unredirects fullscreen windows (meaning no compositor in the way), so you get faster drawing performance, and every frame counts.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(obligatory thanks to Daniel Stone of X and Collabora fame, for telling me to stop blaming X, and start blaming the crappy toolkits ☺)</span> </div> <div class="tags"> Categories: C++ </div> </div> <div class="planet-entry hentry counter_9 "> <img class="picture" src="http://static.maemo.org:81/static/7/7c1ffca46f0e11dfaa21936864a4ae46ae46_avatar_thumbnail" alt="Robin Burchell" /> <div class="author-vcard"> <h1><a href="http://blog.rburchell.com/2011/11/fast-ui-with-qt-4-on-mobile.html" rel="bookmark">Fast UI with Qt 4 on mobile</a></h1> <div class="publish-info"><abbr class="published" title="2011-11-23T19:14:00+0000">2011-11-23 19:14 UTC</abbr> <span style="float: left"> by </span> <a href="http://maemo.org/profile/view/w00t" class="url fn" style="clear:none;">Robin Burchell</a> <div class="fav"> <div id="net_nemein_favourites_for_6f606820161311e19a92d9735ff2ea85ea85" class='net_nemein_favourites {"favs":7,"buries":0,"has_faved":false,"can_fav":true,"has_buried":false,"can_bury":true,"fav_url":"\/news\/favorites\/json\/fav\/midgard_article\/6f606820161311e19a92d9735ff2ea85ea85\/","bury_url":"\/news\/favorites\/json\/bury\/midgard_article\/6f606820161311e19a92d9735ff2ea85ea85\/"}'> <div class="fav_btn"><span class="favs_count">0</span></div> <div class="bury_btn"><span class="bury_count">0</span></div> <div class="net_nemein_favourites_clearfix"></div> </div> <noscript> <span class="net_nemein_favourites">7 <a href="https://maemo.org/news/favorites/create/midgard_article/6f606820161311e19a92d9735ff2ea85ea85/?return=%2Fnews%2F%2Fplanet-maemo%2Fcategory%2Ffeed%3Aa93f39245539231538463d349e184dd2%2F" class="net_nemein_favourites_create"><img src="http://static.maemo.org:81/net.nemein.favourites/not-favorite.png" style="border: none;" alt="Add to favourites" title="Add to favourites" /></a>0 <a href="https://maemo.org/news/favorites/bury/midgard_article/6f606820161311e19a92d9735ff2ea85ea85/?return=%2Fnews%2F%2Fplanet-maemo%2Fcategory%2Ffeed%3Aa93f39245539231538463d349e184dd2%2F" class="net_nemein_favourites_create"><img src="http://static.maemo.org:81/net.nemein.favourites/not-buried.png" style="border: none;" alt="Bury" title="Bury" /></a></span> </noscript> </div> </div> </div> <div class="post-content"> For device manufacturers, and those targeting device manufacturers like us in the <a href="http://wiki.merproject.org/">Mer</a>¹ and <a href="http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo">Nemo Mobile</a>².communities, we need a performant base, and Qt's default configuration on Linux is ..not really that performant.

Now, the reason why I was being so cagey is out in the open: <a href="http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2011-October/484215.html">Mer is alive again, and aiming for MeeGo 2.0</a>.<br /><br />This isn't just a continuation of MeeGo, of course - nobody in the MeeGo community proper would argue that there is a need for change, and we've got a few lined up, such as an easier porting story to other devices and architectures (and a much friendlier community atmosphere to such projects), complete meritocracy, and many more.<br /><br />To get one thing out in the open: this is just the core OS, a Linux distribution. There is no UI, and hardware adaptations are seperate from that core OS. It's an extremely slim Linux vehicle for making products out of. What you put on top is entirely your business - it's just a tool.<br /><br />The idea being that you can then take it, drop a hardware reference for a device you love quite a bit, drop a UX in on top (either one you write yourself, or one from the greater community, like the MeeGo handset UX), and you have a product. Plasma Active is another example of what could be dropped in as a UX. The MeeGo handset community edition will most likely be looking to rebase on top of Mer in the near future.<br /><br />In terms of the app stories available: Qt is available on Mer, so for developers seeking to target Qt, look to install Mer derivatives on your devices. This doesn't stop other toolkits or technologies, of course - all are welcome to come and base around Mer. We also have high hopes that we can achieve some base sharing with Tizen, and ideally, easily atain Tizen compliance. It is HTML5, after all.<br /><br />I look forward to running a MeeGo handset UX on top of a Mer core on my n900 soon, and what can be accomplished in the future.<br /><br />If you'd like to talk with us, pop onto #mer on freenode <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=Mer">or use the webchat</a>.

There's <a href="http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2011-September/484156.html">some discussion already</a> going on on the MeeGo lists about <a href="http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2011-September/484164.html">how best to continue</a>, already.<br /><br />Watch this space.
