        So far so great.

        I built twice. It failed the first time because i forgot to ommit the webkit, pfff.

        The second time it build perfectly with the above configuration. Thanks SGaist.

        So i quickly built a simple gui app and copied it in the target system and voila a window appeared :) .

        But, still a but, i don't have a mouse and keyboard. And the system is stuck at this point.

          Great !

          You can also move/remove the webkit folder if you want to avoid that.

          Are both detected on your target system ?

            My target system is just a console system. I guess at least the keyboard should be ok because i am able to launch it.

            How can i check if mouse is detected also?

              Update:

              AnalogClock example runs ok. I mean that the clock ticks.

              I changed my app by placing a QLineEdit and i can see the cursor in the QLineEdit blinking but i can't type nor move the mouse.

                    Yes /dev/mouse2 .

                    There is also /dev/mouse1 but it appers that the correct one is /dev/mouse2

                      Then you might need to setup that information before starting your application but I don't know if Qt 5 has the same set of variables / command line options as Qt 4 for that, sorry.

                        Ok, thanks a lot. You've been very helpful.

                        I will start a new thread for this problem.

                        Edit: Follow "this thread":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/31911/ for mouse and keyboard problem.
