As described in the other articles, it is possible to use either the Sailfish SDK or the Sailfish Platform SDK for developing both the platform and the applications. This article provides you with a reference chart, making it easier to find the command to use if you already know the command for the other environment.

Building Packages
Action
Platform SDK command
Sailfish SDK command
Choosing build target
alias mb2=’mb2 –target …’
sfdk config target=…
Initialize build directory
mb2 build-init
sfdk build-init
Execute arbitrary commands
mb2 build-shell
sfdk build-shell

mb2 qmake
sfdk qmake
mb2 make
sfdk make
mb2 make-install
sfdk make-install
mb2 package
sfdk package
Setting output dir
alias mb2=’mb2 –output-prefix …’
sfdk config output-prefix=…
alias mb2=’mb2 –task’
sfdk config task
Deploying packages
Action
Platform SDK command
Sailfish SDK command
Deploy package(s)
mb2 deploy
sfdk deploy
Note: With platform packages, it is often most convenient to use the --zypper-dup deployment method, and with application packages, it is often most convenient to use the --sdk deployment method. Both methods are available on both tools.
As Platform SDK does not come with a tool to configure devices, --shared-folder parameter has to be used for pointing it to Sailfish SDK shared directory, e.g.: mb2 deploy --shared-folder ~/SailfishOS/vmshare
