Using Sailfish OS Application SDK for building

Building for arm (device):

1. Grab source (replace user_name with your user name)
   # Following path is an example path and used throughout the build instructions.
mkdir -p /home/<user_name>/workspace/sailfishos
cd /home/<user_name>/workspace/sailfishos
git clone https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-browser.git sailfish-browser

2. Start MerSDK build engine from SailfishOS SDK or VirtualBox Manager

3. Connect to build engine
   ssh -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk mersdk@localhost

4. Add 'apps' repository that provides needed middleware libraries; qtmozembed-qt5, embedlite-components-qt5, and xulrunner-qt5
   sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R ssu ar apps
sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R zypper ref

5. And then build
   cd /home/mersdk/share/workspace/sailfishos/sailfish-browser
mb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -s rpm/sailfish-browser.spec build

After building rpm packages for armv7hl are at /home/<user_name>/workspace/sailfishos/sailfish-browser/RPMS.

Deploy to device:

1. Copy rpm packages to device
   scp /home/<user_name>/workspace/sailfishos/sailfish-browser/RPMS/* nemo@<device-ip>:

2. SSH to device ssh nemo@<device-ip>

3. Install your Sailfish Browser build (will install also dependencies)
   pkcon install zypper
cd /home/nemo
zypper in sailfish-browser-*
