How to run QT application on X-window of the embedded platform

Serg

bq. I think “qmake” is a tool used for generating Makefile, so it runs on x86, and produces output(Makefile) for X86 not for arm. Is that true?

The qmake tool requires a platform and compiler specific qmake.conf file describing the various default values, to generate the appropriate Makefiles. You should use correct qmake.conf file.

bq. However, when I run a QT test-program(compiled linking downloaded QT-lib) on my system, the program can output a window, but have an error:“undefined symbol: _ZN7QWidget8qwsEventEP8QWSEvent”. Can you tell me what wrong about this way to get QT-lib and run QT-program.

Looks like your program uses QWidget::qwsEvent(), that is not available in non-embedded linux environments. "Check this thread":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/3043 .

The second question.
My test program can run on Ubuntu on my PC, which is non-embendded linux environment too. And I am sure my test program (just a MainWindow) not using QWidget::qwsEvent()。

uniquez

The first question.
When I use "./configure -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ "to configure, there is no error about "/home/xushaofan/qt_4.8.1_pkg/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.8.1/bin/qmake: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting “)”)", but it generate an error:

"Basic XLib functionality test failed!
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing
QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 in /home/xushaofan/qt_4.8.1_pkg/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1/mkspecs/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++."

I find the variables of QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 is in the /mkspecs/common/linux.conf, and I change the variables to XLib's path， but this error remain.

How to solve this problem?

qt-everywhere-opensource-src-x.y.z/mkspecs directory used for (cross) compiling Qt for various targets.
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-x.y.z/mkspecs/qws directory used for (cross) compiling Qt embedded for various targets.

So, I checked "mkspecs directory":http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/trees/4.8/mkspecs and found a mistake.

bq. I’m not sure, but I think it will be correct: “./configure -platform arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++”.

Correct is: "./configure -platform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++".

uniquez

Correct is: “./configure -platform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++”.

But in /mkspecs directory, there is no folder of "linux-arm-gnueabi-g++",and my qt opensource's version is 4.8.1. So I just copied /mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ to /mkspecs. I think what I did is not true, but I dont know how to get linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ in /mkspecs.

Serg

About second question.
Your qt test program was built on arm system as a native program? Can you show ldd output?

bq. But in /mkspecs directory, there is no folder of “linux-arm-gnueabi-g++”,and my qt opensource’s version is 4.8.1. So I just copied /mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ to /mkspecs. I think what I did is not true, but I dont know how to get linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ in /mkspecs.

Copy it from qt.gitorious, Are you checked the link "mkspecs directory":http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/trees/4.8/mkspecs ?

uniquez

My cross compiler is arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ not linux-arm-gnueabi-g++.

I copy the folder of linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ from qt.gitorious to /mkspecs, and I replace "linux-arm-gnueabi-g++" for "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ ". Then I configure "./configure -platform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++",there is two errors:

But if I configure "./configure -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++" after clean configure, there just an error:

Serg

So, there are two ways:

Write your own mkspec for arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ compiler (or find in google). Then ./configure -arch arm -xplatform arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++;
"sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabi" and try to use mkspec from qt.gitorius. Then ./configure -arch arm -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++.

bq. Basic XLib functionality test failed! You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11

You need to specify X11 include files and libraries, arm libs!

uniquez

You need to specify X11 include files and libraries, arm libs!

================================

I have specified X11 include files and libraries(for arm)' path by modifing linux.conf in /mkspecs/common, but the error remain. Is it right?

It is too later tonight, I will compile QT-lib following what you said tomorrow.
Anyway, thank you help me again and again.

uniquez

By the way, the X11 include files and libraries are provided in filesytems by TI ezsdk.

bq. I have specified X11 include files and libraries(for arm)’ path by modifing linux.conf in /mkspecs/common, but the error remain. Is it right?

I'm think it's right.

This error can be when libXext is missed.
Here is "Qt for X11 requirements":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/requirements-x11.html. Ensure that you have all required libs.

uniquez

One more question, when I configure my QT-lib compiling using "./configure -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++",
it outputs "You have not explicitly asked to use pkg-config and are cross-compiling.
pkg-config will not be used to automatically query cflag/lib parameters for
dependencies"
But when I use "./configure", there is no that message.

Although it is not en error, I think something is not configured right.

Serg

Try it: ./configure -arch arm -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -force-pkg-config

uniquez

After I modified "QMAKE_LIBS_X11 = -lXext -lX11 -lm -lxcb -lpthread-stubs -lXau -lXdmcp " in /mkspecs/common/linux.conf,
now I can configure successfully by using "./configure -arch arm -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -force-pkg-config".

However, after I "make", there are some errors:

Are you sure that path to arm X11 libraries is correct (in linux.conf QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 and QMAKE_INCDIR_X11) and X11 version is X11R6? If it's true, then i can suppose that arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ and linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ have a different binary format and ld can't link it. If i'm right, you should use one compiler for X11 libs and Qt. It means that you should use linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ rather than arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++, because it's compiler from Ubuntu repository and you are compiling for Ubuntu.

But I didn't have any problems like this. So, I don't know what exactly you should do in this case :(

“sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabi” and try to use mkspec from qt.gitorius. Then ./configure -arch arm -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++.

===============================================
Today I followed the second method to apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabi and make my QT-lib,and those errors still exist.

==============================
And I am sure my arm X11 libraries is correct. Because in /qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1/config.tests/x11/xlib, I use "arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ -o xlib xlib.cpp -I/opt/ezsdk/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/include -L/opt/ezsdk/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib -lXext -lX11 -lm -lxcb -lpthread-stubs -lXau -lXdmcp"
and "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ -o xlib xlib.cpp -I/opt/ezsdk/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/include -L/opt/ezsdk/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib -lXext -lX11 -lm -lxcb -lpthread-stubs -lXau -lXdmcp"
to compile xlib. Both successfully.

Bye the way, the X11 libraries' directory is under the /arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib in filesystem, so I think the X11 libraries is compiled by arm-none-linux-gnueabi. However, Whether I use "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++" or "linux-arm-gnueabi-g++" to make my QT-lib, those “ undefined reference to” error still exist.

[quote author="Serg" date="1337702523"]Are you sure that path to arm X11 libraries is correct (in linux.conf QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 and QMAKE_INCDIR_X11) and X11 version is X11R6? If it's true, then i can suppose that arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ and linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ have a different binary format and ld can't link it. If i'm right, you should use one compiler for X11 libs and Qt. It means that you should use linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ rather than arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++, because it's compiler from Ubuntu repository and you are compiling for Ubuntu.

But I didn't have any problems like this. So, I don't know what exactly you should do in this case :([/quote]

Sorry for reply later. Last Thursday, I had copiled QT-LIB for Ubuntu based DM8148 successfully.

Above these errors, I made two mistakes about X11-LIB.

I wrote my own mkspec for arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ compiler, and I named it "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++" not "linux-", so when I make, there is an error: /lib/libQtCore.so: undefined reference to `QDnotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::create()’
Because When creating the mkspec for a embedded target if the name of the directory does not match "linux-*" then the following build error will be seen.

The resolution is :
edit ./src/corelib/io/io.pri
find linux-*:
append your cross-toolchain's prefix after it

eg:
my toolchains's prefix is arm_xxxxx
so....
68 linux-|arm:{
69 SOURCES +=
70 io/qfilesystemwatcher_inotify.cpp
71 io/qfilesystemwatcher_dnotify.cpp
72
73 HEADERS +=
74 io/qfilesystemwatcher_inotify_p.h
75 io/qfilesystemwatcher_dnotify_p.h
76 }

==================================================================

/lib/libQtCore.so: undefined reference to `clock_gettime’:
append "-lrt" parameters after the "./configure" so that the compiler can find the define in librt.

==================================================================

“/lib/libQtGui.so: undefined reference to” about X11-lib
I modified QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11, QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBS_X11 in /mkspec/common/linux.conf to specify X11 include files and libraries, arm libs. However the Makefile, which qmake generated, did not include X11-LIB in the “LIBS”. So when I compile the demos or examples of QT, there are many of "undefined reference to" errors about X11-LIB, then I append "-lXmu -lXft -lXt -lXcursor -lXrandr -lXrender -lXv -lXdamage -lXcomposite -lxcb-damage -lxcb-composite -lxcb-randr -lxcb-xv -lxcb-xvmc -lxcb-xprint -lxcb-xtest -lxcb-xfixes -lxcb-xinerama -lxcb-xevie -lxcb-xf86dri -lxcb-shape -lxcb-shm -lxcb-sync -lxcb-render -lxcb-res -lxcb-screensaver -lxcb-dpms -lxcb-dri2 -lxcb-record -lxcb-glx -lXfixes -lXext -lX11-xcb -lX11 -lxcb -lXau -lXdmcp -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpthread-stubs -lexpat -lm -lz -lstdc++ -lglib-2.0 -lSM -lICE -luuid " after "LIBS =" in demos and examples' Makefiles which qmake generated, and it can compile successfully.

But I have not find why my qmake not generate above of X11-LIB in Makefile. I am sure that "linux.conf" is modified correctly.

==============================================

Anyway, I have transplanted QT-LIB to Ubuntu successfully, and I must thank you so much for your warm-heart and help me again and aigan!!! If there were no your guidance, I wound not complete it.

So, now cross-compiler works fine? And your test-program is running correctly on arm system?
