The procedure of deploying an Qt application on Qtopia Core is essentially the same as the deployment procedure on Qt/X11 which is described in detail in the Deploying an Application on Qt/X11 documentation. See also the general remarks about deploying Qt applications.
In addition, there is a couple of Qtopia Core specific issues to keep in mind:
When Qtopia Core applications run, they look for a file called fontdir in Qtopia Core's /lib/fonts/ directory defining the fonts that are available to the application (i.e. the fonts located in the mentioned directory).
For that reason, the preferred fonts must be copied to the /lib/fonts/ directory, and the fontdir file must be customized accordingly. See the Fonts documentation for more details about the supported font formats.
Note that the application will look for the /lib/fonts/ directory relative to the path set using the -prefix parameter when running the configure script; ensure that this is a sensible path in the target device environment. See the installation documentation for more details.
In general, any variable value that differs from the provided default values must be set explicitly in the target device environment. Typically, these include the QWS_MOUSE_PROTO and QWS_KEYBOARD variables specifying the drivers and devices for pointer handling and character input.
Without the proper mouse and keyboard drivers, there is no way to give any input to the application when it is installed on the target device. By running the configure script using the -qt-kbd-<mykeyboarddriver> and -qt-mouse-<mymousedriver> options, the drivers are enabled, but in addition the drivers and the preferred devices must be specified as the ones to use in the target environment. See the Pointer Handling and Character Input documentation for more information about how to add custom drivers.
