Build qt4.8.0 for wince failed

flaviomarcio

Hello,
I am having the same problem, I compiled in the same way that Qt4.7.4 and VS2005.
In the links:
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.7/install-wince.html
and
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/install-wince.html
they didn't increase anything again and it continues giving the same mistake

error message:

Are you using VS2005 or VS2008? I had some problems when using VS2005, but it worked with VS2008. But I cannot remember if it was the same problem.

ibingow

I use vs2008

I just had a look at this file in my build.

Do you have this line in \src\corelib\kernel\qfunctions_wince.h (it's right underneath the QT_END_HEADER)?

@// The standard SDK misses this define...
#define _control87 _controlfp@

and in the qlocale_tools.cpp I there is this include:
@#include "qfunctions_wince.h"@

I hope that I could help with that.

ibingow

yes, i have. The problem is Q_OS_WINCE is not defined in qlocale_tools.cpp

Were the Preprocessor Definitions set correctly?
_WIN32_WCE=0x700 (or 0x600 for Win CE 6) has to be set.

In the mkspecs in the qmake.conf of my platform I've got
DEFINES += _WIN32_WCE=0x700 $$CE_ARCH ARMV4I armv4i ARM ARM _M_ARM ARM arm Q_OS_WINCE_STD QT_NO_PRINTER QT_NO_PRINTDIALOG

It is strange that this was working for 4.7 but not anymore for 4.8. I'm sure that you have also cross-compiled it with configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -xplatform wincewm50pocket-msvc2005

For me, 4.7 was not working correctly, but building 4.8 with VS2008 under Windows 7 was working fine.

ibingow

yes, the definitions are correct. when compiling other files, Q_OS_WINCE in qfunctions_wince.h is defined.

Add below line to qlocale_tools.cpp would be OK.
#include <private/qfunctions_p.h>

I'm using VS2005 and have compiled corelib, gui and xml successfully after make some changes.

You need to appoint an older version of zlib, 1.2.3 would be OK as it also used in Qt 4.7. In Qt 4.8.0, it contains a newer zlib 1.2.5 and use read/write function for file operation. These functions doesn't support in WinCE.

fonzi337

william, could you elaborate on how one goes about appointing an older version of zlib for the build? I tried copying the Qt 4.7.4 /3rdParty/zlib folder as well as the Qt 4.7.4 /3rdParty/zlib.pri and Qt 4.7.4 /3rdPart/zlib_dependency.pri files into my Qt 4.8.0's /3rdParty directory but this does not fix the issue.

Update: Sorry, I was encountering issues with zlib because I forgot to rerun configure after reverting zlib to version 1.2.3.

Were any of you able to successfully cross-compile Qt after reverting zlib to version 1.2.3? It now gets past the zlib error I was seeing before, but now has a problem doing a conversion in qfsfileengine_win.cpp:

c:\Qt\QtWinCE\4.8.0\src\corelib\io\qfsfileengine_win.cpp(553) : error C2664: 'QS

Any thoughts?

Update: For those who encounter a similar problem, I replaced line 553 in qfsfileengine_win.cpp

@return QFileSystemEngine::currentPath();@

with

@return QFileSystemEngine::currentPath().filePath();@

I ran into other issues later on, but I suspect those may have been caused by my include paths not being properly set up.

Struggling through these build issues as well. From the 4.8.0 commercial release notes, appears all of these issues are resolved in the commercial build:

http://qt.digia.com/en/Qt/Release-Notes/Release-Notes-Qt-Commercial-48-Final/

Not familiar with any location to grab patches, if any exist, for the open source edition.

william

Seems that it would be fixed on next release.

@fonzi337, @ncsunickv
Please tell me your email address through my private email as there are several files need to be changed and I don't know how to put these files to the forum.

ncsunickv

Hi William,

Really appreciate your help with this. My email is ncsunickv at yahoo dot com (avoiding bots). I would also assume the next release will contain the build fixes, as I think the 4.7.0 also had some build issues that were corrected in 4.7.1.

Also, one thing I noticed is there appears to be a configuration option for leaving the zlib out of the build. I didn't try this though, just regressed back to the previous version. Thanks,

Nick

I’ve succeeded in building qt 4.8 for wince with the following pre-steps with sources

replace 3rdparty\zlib and 3rdparty\zlib.pri with same from qt 4.7.3 sources
in corelib\tools\qlocale_tools.cpp ad the following line
@#include <private/qfunctions_p.h>@
in corelib\io\qfsfileengine_win.cpp change line 553

Fom:
@ return QFileSystemEngine::currentPath();@

To:
@ return QFileSystemEngine::currentPath().filePath();@

in corelib\kernel\qsystemerror.cpp change code from line 44

From:
@#if !defined(Q_OS_WINCE)

include <errno.h>

if defined(Q_CC_MSVC)

include <crtdbg.h>

endif

#endif@

To:
@#if defined(Q_OS_WINCE)
#define strerror(n) "system error"
#elif

include <errno.h>

if defined(Q_CC_MSVC)

include <crtdbg.h>

endif

#endif@

Then built it in usual way as a static lib with the following configuration:
@ configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2008 -xplatform wincewm60professional-msvc2008 -opensource -nomake examples -nomake demos -iwmmxt -no-exceptions -no-stl -no-rtti -no-qt3support -no-scripttools -no-style-motif -no-style-cde -no-style-cleanlooks -no-sql-sqlite -no-accessibility -no-dbus -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-webkit -no-script -no-declarative -qt-libjpeg -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -L D:\QtSDK\opengl_wce\lib -openssl -I D:\QtSDK\openssl_wce\include -L D:\QtSDK\openssl_wce\lib -release -static@

Step 2, 3 and 4 are fixed in 4.8.1 open source. Step 1 is not.
