To develop applications that use the Qt Mobility APIs, you must install the
APIs on the devices. The APIs are not available in the Nokia N900 package
manager, and therefore, you must install them from the command line as the

application manager.

\note Qt Creator automates this process for you.
Qt Creator provides templates for a set of files that must be included
in Debian packages. When you create a Maemo target for a project, Qt Creator
asks whether packaging files are to be added to the project and to version
control. If you plan to edit the packaging files, add them to version
control.
To edit the files, select a file in \gui {Adapt Debian

\section1 Rendering Graphics
The Maemo emulator supports OpenGL to improve graphics rendering. Hardware
acceleration produces better results than software rendering. By default,
Qt Creator automatically detects, whether hardware acceleration is
supported on the development PC and tries to use it. However, sometimes
the results of the automatic detection are not reliable, and
hardware acceleration might be selected even if it is actually not
available on the development PC. This causes the emulator to crash.
If the Maemo emulator crashes, you are asked whether you want to try
software rendering, instead.
To specify the OpenGL mode, select \gui {Tools > Options... > Maemo > Qemu
Settings}.
