Shameless plug:
"results so far" include:
http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/pipermail/subsurface/2015-November/thread.html#23414

accept it for the sake of supporting QML pokery!
:)
(there's no QML in the patch, but it was a result of some efforts to
build and launch and debug the mobile version.)

--------------------

recruiting hackers/testers of the mobile UI, it bears repeating what
Dirk said in November:

And oh btw - you can quite easily test the QML on the desktop.
Simply enable SUBSURFACE_MOBILE in the cmake (easily
done with ccmake ) and you can build subsurface-mobile
on your Linux box ...
And then you can work on the QML code and test it quite efficiently.

i had no intention of hacking on the mobile version until i saw that.
OTOH, it seems several bug reports are now specific to actual phones,
so building on the desktop won't necessarily help with that...
but it's a step in the right direction, no?

then the next step is to install linux trickle daemon to simulate slow
3G data transfer while on the desktop :)
