BlackBerry 10
Dependencies
Python
Python is available on-device in version 3.2.
PySide
the few changes to the guide that are needed for the whole thing to compile, are described below.
Building Shiboken
comment out tests in these files on around these line numbers:
/usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake :45 /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake :52
Yeah, really - tis means modifying you system installation of CMAKE - make sure to have a backup ! :)
Creating a package If you are getting icon related errors during package installation, ad these argument to the packager:
-e icon.png icon.png
Qt Components
While the modRana QML GUI is largely independent on Qt Components, working set of Qt Components would simplify porting quite a lot. Also other applications, such as Mieru, currently depend on functioning Qt Components.
Symbian Qt Components
https://qt.gitorious.org/~conny/qt-components/connys-qt-components/commits/bb10
Should compile using these parameters:
./configure -symbian -no-mobility -nomake tests -nomake demos -nomake example
MeeGo/Harmattan Qt Components
Looks like MeeGo/Harmattan Qt Components should also work with some tweaks & would be the preferred choice, considering that is what modRana & co are currently using.

Notes
Applications are installed - in paths like this:
/accounts/1000/appdata/ca.microcode.bbpy.HelloWorld.testDev__HelloWorld7b0107f8/app/python/blackberry-py/
Debugging
Applications are started in a sandbox with some pmeade folder structure. The log folder in the sandbox contains stdout for the program.
Checking out the log
(The path seems to partially random-generated, so don't forget to change it to the path corresponding to you application).
cd /accounts/1000/appdata/ca.microcode.bbpy.HelloWorld.testDev__HelloWorld7b0107f8/ $ ls app data db logs pps shared tmp
The logs folder contains the logs.
Shared log folder If you don't want to fish for the log folder, you con redirect stdout to a log file in the data/Downloads folder, which should be accessible for all applications.
