Qt and QML on WebOS devices

This document explains how to set-up Qt 4.8 (Trolltech/Nokia's cross-platform application and UI framework) on WebOS devices, and then how to cross-compile Qt or QML apps.

This guide assumes a Linux development environment, and Qt 4.8. The process for Qt 4.7.x is identical; no idea for Qt 5.

The steps include

 * Getting and setting-up the Palm PDK
 * Optionally: completing the PDK with some missing includes
 * Getting Qt 4.8, setting it up for cross-compilation
 * Cross-compilation of Qt 4.8
 * Updated webos port of Qt
 * Application tweaks to look for libs in the right places
