Enable Gstreamer in Qt5 configuration
-
Are you cross-compiling Qt ?
-
That's the kind of detail you should have mention earlier...
First thing, did you install a cross-compiling environment ? Did you pass the correct parameters to configure to enable cross-compilation ? Did you get the cross-compiled version of the dependencies you need ?
-
Dear SGalt,
Sorry about mention cross-compiling lately.
The cross-compiling is installed in my system, it is linaro-arm-linux-
About parameters to configure, I think Qt can autodetect Gstreamer so I don't pass any option for Gstreamer in command.
When configuration, nomally it will display information why option is disable, which errors occurs... so I can fix errors and option is enable . With Gstreamer, nothing to display, it makes me confusion.
Thank for your support. -
You're configuration process fails while testing glib, do you have it for ARM ? Also can you post your complete configure command ?
-
Dear SGalt,
I have just installed glib2.0, libglib2.0, libglib2.0-dev, libqtglib2.0 before.

librt.so.1 exist in /lib/arm-linux-gnueabi
I try to search solution in Google and many answer is add " -lrt" but you can see that it exist in my command.This is my complete configure command
@
./configure -confirm-license -opensource -v -arch arm -device linux-xxx-g++ -prefix /opt/share/qt5 -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/home/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.03-20120326_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- -sysroot /home/rootfs_br -debug -continue -opengl es2 -pkg-config -dbus -icu
@Note : linux-xxx-g++ exist in qt-everywhere.../qtbase/mkspecs/devices/
-
Since you are cross-compiling, you also need to either get the ARM version of these libraries or cross-compile them.
-
Where did you install them ?
-
Then how can the configure script find the libraries ?
One way to do that is to copy the libraries and headers from your target rootfs in your toolchain directories
-
Hello, I know this thread is quite old but I'm running into the same issues. I mounted the target's rootfs in a local folder and I set the sysroot parameter to that path.
In that folder there is the complete arm filesystem with these packages installed:
@
libgstreamer0.10-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
gstreamer-tools
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
libglib2.0-dev
libglib2.0-0
libqtglib-2.0-0
@Here the configure command:
@
./configure -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=~/dev/rpi/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs -opensource -confirm-license -optimized-qmake -reduce-relocations -reduce-exports -release -developer-build -make libs -prefix /usr/local/qt5pi -no-pch -nomake examples -nomake tests -silent
@Anyway both GLib and GStreamer supports are disabled. Here the related errors:
@

@But the /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/librt.so.1 is there, actually.
Any ideas?

[quote author="_dmp" date="1386143087"]I cross compile Qt 5.2 for imx6 from source and ./configure just dont try find gstreamer from rootfs. I look at ./configure inside and dont find anything about gstreamer. What can I do?[/quote]
Have you solved this problem?
I'm working on it too. -
I did not try to cross-compile neither Qt nor GStreamer. So this is just my guess.
On Linux Qt configure tries to find gstreamer using pkg-config utility.
pkg-config uses $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to look for all available packages.
The packages are the text files with simple structure and .pc extension.Try to find gstreamer*.pc files in your cross-compiled gstreamer and if you find the files then append a path to these files to PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable and then run configure from Qt.
-
Is there meanwhile a solution on how to configure Qt5.3 to use gstreamer? I have the same Problem on the Raspberry Pi.
I'm using this tutorial: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi
I ignored the change of "QT_CFLAGS_GSTREAMER=" in the configure script, because it is not there. Additionally I set the following environment variables before running configure to get "pkg-config ............. yes":
@PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig"
PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR="/."
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig"@I read a little bit in the configure script code and at the part where the "Configure summary" is generated I found nothing where it is possible to add additional Packages (for example found by pkg-config) so is it even possible that the configure script finds gstreamer or is it even searching?
-
Hi and welcome to devnet,
Did you install the gstreamer development packages ?
