Thanks for the input, Almicar and Hassan,
I successfully tried sailfish-reload on (Arch) Linux and will definitely
use it in the future as it *really* speeds up development.
Hassan's tips seem to resemble the sailfish-reload internals in a manual
way (which is also nice to know, especially as an emacs power user --> I
tried to get rid off QtCreator long time ago).
Anyhow, I'm still interested in co-developing for different targets, as
I have a laptop with deactivated virtualization (password protected
BIOS). Accidently, I stumbled upon QQmlFileSelector / QFileSelector
which sound promising. Maybe it is possible to have a common base of C++
and js files and the respective QML component files are switched
depending on some characteristic selector. Has anyone used
QQmlFileSelector for Sailfish development?
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi all,
until now, my development workflow consists of coding and
subsequently testing on the device or emulator respectively. Every
cycle takes quite some time. Is there a neat way / architecture for
co-developing for the desktop and Silica UI. The aim would be to do
most of the coding / testing with the desktop target and switch to
the emulator / device for the Silica UI.
I would be grateful if anybody could share his/her experiences or
workflow!
There are multiple tips if you are using Linux AND you don't care
about QtCreator:
- I use a multi-tabbed terminal. The first tab has emacs (console not
X11) editing code. Once I am done with the code, I switch to the 2nd
tab.
The 2nd tab is a tab dedicated for typing 1 command: sb2 make && scp
<whatever> phone:~/app_test_dir/
The 3rd tab is a phone ssh session where I just ^c and rerun the app
to check it.
- Sometimes I edit QML code on the phone and restart the app to check
but you have to be capable of tolerating vi (The editor on the phone).
- C++ engine is easily testable on the desktop. Not a big issue IMHO.
- You can try installing Silica on the desktop especially that there
are now x86 binaries. This can speed up your development. I have not
done that so I unfortunately cannot help here but it should be doable.
HTH
