Creating applications for all platforms on Ubuntu - tidesdk

Is it possible to use TiedSDK under Ubuntu(12.10) to create Windows and Mac apps?
And if it is possible how should I use the other SDKs(Win|OSx)?

Currently there is no way to cross compile / generate installers for other platforms. If you want installers for windows .. you need to be running on a windows system. You can get a virtual machine with any windows operating system.

Build QT program for linux target from windows

Is it possible to build app from windows for linux target?
Also, is it possible to debug linux target with windows machine?
You may install Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 (Fall Creators Update and later). Any Linux distribution available from the Microsoft Store would be adequate. Then, add the development environment (compilers, development libraries) to you Linux subsystem, and you may build your project for Linux using the bash shell. This would be only slightly more comfortable than installing a Linux virtual machine, but with the inconvenience that GUI programs don't run in WSL. For running and debugging you will need a virtual machine.

Porting custom media player app to Linux

I have developed a custom media player that works on Windows 7. I used QMediaPlayer, QVideoWidget and QMediaPlaylist classes. I need to port the app to Linux. Do these classes also exist for Linux? Do they come automatically when installing Qt?
I tried copying the project to my Linux partition and recompiling but it can not find the headers.
Check weather the major version of Qt is the same on both platforms.
Seeing your description, I believe you are using an older version of Qt on the Linux machine as compared to the Windows machine.
Hope this helps.

How can I use buildroot for my development machine in addition to my target?

I am developing a for an embedded target using buildroot, adding our custom applications as new packages.
These packages depend on some non standard libraries(which we already integrated into buildroot) that are painful to install natively on the development workstations. Can I use buildroot out-of-tree builds to compile the applications for my development machines to test them as well? Assuming all the libraries are in place, they are generic linux applications that should not have problem running on PCs.
Is there a more convenient way to manage both builds?
The only supported way is to use a "crosscompiler" for your host system.

MacBook Pro and ASP.NET applications

Is it ok to develop ASP.NET web applications on MacBook Pro ?
.NET is only available for Windows. There's the Mono project, which is not affiliated with Microsoft, which aims to create an open source .NET runtime and developer tools, usable on *NIX (including Mac OS X). If you want to develop .NET applications under Mac OS, this is your only choice.
Speaking of a MacBook though, you can install Windows on it using Boot Camp or run it in a virtual machine and develop in Visual Studio like on any other Windows box. And this is ok, I don't think anybody will confiscate your Mac for doing so.
If you have Windows running on the Mac then it is OK.
Another way is to use some .NET IDE for Mac (e.g. MonoDevelop)
New from Microsoft, IDE for Mac, Linux and Windows: https://code.visualstudio.com/Download
The best method to do that would be to install windows 10 with bootcamp and then install .NET . The steps involved are pretty straight forward. Just open bootcamp and create the partition and select the ISO of windows. Once installed, tap the options key on boot to boot to windows. If everything is smooth, you can continue the development, else, just open bootcamp again and delete the partition.

No applications available to install on Web Platform Installer on Vista x64

When I use the Web Platform installer on Vista x64 Business it doesn't list any of the applications (such as DotNetNuke or SubText).
Has anyone got it to work on Vista 64?
I'm running Vista Home Premium x64 SP2 and can see plenty of web applications with no problem. Is it possible there is some prerequisite software or libraries you need to install (say, using the WPI) before you can install web applications?
The first step I'd take is to uninstall WPI, restart your computer, and reinstall WPI. It sounds so basic but the simplest fixes are so often sufficient.
Is everything on your system up-to-date?
It should work with Vista x64 Business edition. The application catalog is downloaded from the web via http requests. You might try using a tool like Fiddler Web Debugger to determine if the app is able to connect properly. You may have a firewall or network issue preventing it from fetching the list of applications.
