    Hi,

    It seems that you don't have a frame buffer (or it's name is not /dev/fb0)

            Are you sure that your /dev/fb0 points to something valid ?

              Thx..for your reply

              I tried deleting /tmp and tried by recreating. but no result.

              < for this i tried by changing /tmp folder in qt src path to user directory
              But got the same error as

              Cannot create Qt for Embedded Linux data directory: ~/App/temp/qtembedded-0 >

              < even i tried with mount point in /etc/fstab as
              none /tmp/ tmpfs size=1M 0 0
              But in this case also iam unable to run

              How to get rid of this problem...

                Does this path exist on your target ?

                        Does it contain a temp folder ?

                          Existing Path is /home/xvg783/App/temp
                          Whether we have to create qtembedded-0 or it is created runtime.

                          I didn't find this qtembedded-0, in *App/temp/ *

                          As it is saying
                          Cannot create Qt for Embedded Linux data directory: ~/App/temp/qtembedded-0 >

                          is this path has to create runtime or the path has to be there before running the app.

                              temp must exist before, qtembedded-0 will be created by the application acting as server.

                                  Hi all,
                                  I spend weeks trying to cross compile in QT for my Panda board and no way, finally I try the steps from this posts but I can't pass the ./configure.
                                  If someone could give me a help I'll appreciate.
                                  My host system is Ubuntu-13.04 ×86_64bit(running un Virtualbox)
                                  My target system is Pandaboard Xm Ubuntu-12.04.
                                  All the steps in host box:
                                  sudo apt-get install arm-linux-gnueabihf
                                  sudo mkdir /opt/qt-485-armhf
                                  cd /usr/src
                                  sudo wget http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.5/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5.tar.gz
                                  sudo tar xf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5.tar.gz
                                  cd /usr/src/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5
                                  sudo cp -r mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabihf-g++
                                  sudo vim mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabihf-g++/qmake.conf

                                  modifications to linux.conf

                                  QMAKE_STRIP = arm-linux-gnueabihf-strip

                                  load(qt_config)
