Qt development on Fedora Linux raises questions, what can be done on Fedora Linux and what else is needed and how it can be used when using Linux desktop?

Development mode: C++ (Widget) vs QML (XML)

Both are supported, with some limitations.

What are the differences

Can real targets be connected via USB-cable and application be launched from Fedora Linux?

Locally? No idea.

Remotely to Windows or Mac OSX: In theory yes. Fedora's RDP client FreeRDP supports USB-port redirection over IP and some devices like USB-cameras and smartcard readers are reported to work (2019 beginning). However, the forwarding appers to be device specific and Android- and iOS-phones are not supported.

Few notes:

  • Fedora's freerdp package needs to be recompiled with -DCHANNEL_URBDRC_CLIENT=ON setting (that is off by default in spec) and reinstalled
  • In order to work on Windows host, RemoteFX USB Redirection must be enabled
    • run gpedit.msc as an Administrator
    • Group Policy Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Remote Desktop Services, Remote Desktop Connection Client, RemoteFX USB Device Redirection: Allow Admnistrator and users
    • run cmd, gpupdate /force as an Administrator
    • reboot

Examples at Linux side:

/usr/bin/xfreerdp /u:John\ Doe  /v:server.example.com /usb:auto

redirect all devices that are connected after session connection.

/usr/bin/xfreerdp /u:John\ Doe  /v:server.example.com /usb:id,dev:05ac:12a8

usb redirection and redirect device 05ac:12a8 (id is second vendor:device is in lsusb listing).

/usr/bin/xfreerdp /u:John\ Doe  /v:server.example.com /usb:dbg,id,dev:05ac:12a8

same as before with debugging.

Messages like:

[WARN][com.freerdp.channels.urbdrc.client] - bus:0 dev:0 not exist in udevman

should be harmless.

Currently this apparently does not work from Fedora desktop to Windows.

Google Android toolchain:

Android SDK, NDK (native development kit, C/C++), Java (Linux OpenJDK can be used).

Where it can be downloaded


Apple iOS toolchain: XCode

To develop for iOS devices, you must install Xcode and use it to configure a device. For this, you need an Apple developer account and iOS Developer Program certificate that you receive from Apple.

Where it can be downloaded

Licensing

Can Xcode be run on Fedora Linux?

Can Xcode be run on shared Mac Server?
