Installation and Deployment

I am sorry, it must be my English which is not very good. I am trying to build Qt. I downloaded qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz and I read a page similar to http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/requirements-x11.html in the doc folder. As you can see there are different libraries among which Xinerama. I installed all the libraries in the list of requirements. After that I run the configure script (./configure -v --prefix=$GLOBAL_PREFIX/qt/$QT_VERSION -opensource) for Qt and i received: Build type: linux-g++-64 Architecture: x86_64 Platform notes: - Also available for Linux: linux-kcc linux-icc linux-cxx qmake vars .......... cat: .qmake.vars: No such file or directory qmake switches .........

I also have no support for other packages i installed; Xinerama is just an example. If i check the configure output I can see: Xinerama auto-detection… () g++ -c -m64 -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -I../../../mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I. -I/usr/X11R6/include -o xinerama.o xinerama.cpp xinerama.cpp:43:37: fatal error: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [xinerama.o] Error 1 Xinerama disabled. That's strange since I set CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS ( -I/usr/local/gcc/4.5.2//Xinerama/1.1.1/include). So I checked config.tests/x11/xinerama/Makefile and I have found Qt configuration test does not use my CFLAGS; it only search into /usr/X11R6/include. Is there an environment variable or configure option to make qt installation process aware of dependency libraries installed in non-standard path? cheers

[quote author="Volker" date="1305802133"]hehe :-) I just got used to them last year, but that's a good thing to do some quick tests in a clean environment.[/quote] Thank goodness there isn't a pain in the butt long procedure to do to install VM's, heh.. Argue enough with Command Line, =D.

This seems to be a problem for your download respectively your machine. I have downloaded the 1.1.9 add-ins a week ago. It is installed on Win7 64bit platform with VS2005. A new download of the exe is completely the same as the one I have downloaded a week ago. Hope this helps.

Thanks for putting them up. I'll try them as soon as I find the time to. EDIT: I couldn't compile them. I think I'm out for now as Volker is right. It's eating plenty of time.

Yes. Thank you for your help !

Windows EA 7 is not supported as we only support Windows CE 5 and 6. As for your comment about it lacking implementation that QtHelp needs I don't know where you have seen them from. If you run into a problem with trying to build then just follow up :)

If you rebuild from the sources, it is usually no problem. Rebuilding in a folder, where already some stuf is build is sometimes not working...

Ah, at least I can exclude i386 and ppc here. Good night and thanks for all the help. This forum became quickly a new home for me.

Thank you, Gerolf for the explanation. I thought I have to include these dlls also. I removed them and tested and found the app to the running without any issues. :)

I couldn't find msysGit in path, neither using console. I tried putting a space at the end and it still stops at 81% (Installing component Madde Qt 4.7.0) when sh.exe crashes. Ssh-agent.exe didn't crash this time though, and the install log looks diffrent. @C:\QtSDK\Maemo bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create! Creating default target fremantle-pr13 ...

After install C++ it worked finally. I can't tell yet whether the dll's I compiled will work b/c I can't test my application right now.

Thanks...that was just a little hint...

Did you try for MSVC 2008 ??

Ups, here is the "link":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5774/

well - I don't see this as a Qt bug, it's more a Microsoft compiler bug... actually the compiler-switches that I defined for my selfmade mkspec configuration were causing the trouble: I used the same switches that I use at work for compiling, but there is a problem with the CE compiler's "/FA" switch - when this switch is defined, the "#line" directive behaves the strange way I described! (/FA is used to let the compiler produce/keep the assembly listing; this is useful for debugging purpose but not really neccessary in Qt compilation)

That's correct, not for startup, I forgot. I used this for dynamically loaded dll with loadLibrary... and it does not create link files, it just expands the dll search path for a while :-)

Yes, unfortunately it's almost always these "little" problems that cost you more time than the actual application development :-/

One thing I've found on WinCE is that the icon used for drag and drop replaces the mouse cursor. On CE there's a maximum size for the cursor so if the icon you're trying to show is bigger than this it doesn't display.
