Qt5.1 on Rasberry Pi (full install not cross-compile)
-
Hi,
I have run into a few problems. I have a very basic Qt5.0.1 (32 bit) project using Qt Creator 2.6.2 on my PC, simply comprising of a mainwindow.h, main.cpp, mainwindow.cpp and mainwindow.ui. The form has a single text box. There is no code, I just wanted to see the form appear on my RPI. With the projec built and showing the form on my PC, I transferred the project .pro and all files mentioned above into the opt/qt5/examples/gui folder. I compiled it, ran qmake and make. This flagged up errors about closing braces. When looking at the above files in leaf pad, they contained ascii characters, and not code text. Since I cannot inspect the mainwindow.ui code I cannot determine if this is also corrupt.
I have also attempted to transfer .png and .bmp images from my PC to my RPI which are not recognised by either Gimp 2.8 or the image viewer.
Is this a Windows versus Linux problem? Can I use Qt4 to build my form and compile it under Qt5?
Thanks -
Actually if you are using WinSCP you just use it as is. You only need to use SFTP with Filezilla. If you transferred it via USB stick then you shouldn't have any issues unless the encoding is incorrect. You may need to save them in UTF-8 format and make sure the Pi is set the same way, this shouldn't affect the binary files though so something else may be going on.
Do you have a website or some place where you could dump the files and some people here might be able to help you?

Hi postmako,
Ha it was an encryption issue from PC to USB to RPI. Now I have my Qt5 app, developed on PC, running on RPI thanks to you. I can really make some progress now and plan to make a handheld RPI with touch screen.
I too have a full screen app but I guess this is an OpenGL thing. Any ideas would be welcome. Tried the ./app_name -platform xcb but no joy.
I don't have a web page but I'd be happy to share my working Qt5onPi.img, but even zipped it's over 3GB. Any suggestions such a DropboxCheers

Hi,
I run the app from LXterminal. For the cube example I made a shortcut to the desktop and both are full screen. Ran cp command qmake and then make as per instructions. On the PC the window is correctly sized as expected and not full screen.

Hi,
Here's the relevant mainwindow.ui code that defines the size set to max 430 x 430@<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Anyone know why I might be running into an issue building qt5 all of a sudden? I compiled it a week or so ago with no issue...now I run into "this":http://pastebin.com/sCPfL5DB

Hi,
Just an update to let you guys know I now have Qt5.1.1 installed and running on my RPi, reading and writing to the ttyUSB0 port.The screen issue has been resolved simply in Qt5 in the .ui Form, where the API is displayed in the center of a £13 3.5" LCD monitor. The RPi is powered from a 5Ahr USB rechargeable power pack, making it portale.

Hi
I am using Qt on Windows and I would like to communicate with RPi.I'm trying to compile Qt as explained in this thread and on wiki pages but I have problems.
@
pi@raspberrypi ~/opt $ git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git
Cloning into 'qt5'...
fatal: unable to connect to gitorious.org:
gitorious.org[0: 87.238.52.168]: errno=Connection timed out

@Internet connection is working.
I'm not an Linux expert.I would be grateful for any suggestions how to solve this problem.
Thanks -
Try cloning through http instead of git.
-
Many thanks for the help!
I have used
@git clone http://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git@
and it is working.I'm slowly going forward.

Unfortunately git through http has not finished successfully.
@Cloning into 'qtbase'...

@I have moved to another network with access to git and it was ok for long time. However after one day of compiling there was some problem with power and it was not finished.
I am trying to run it once again but now I have problem with configure
@bash: ./configure -v -opengl: No such file or directory@
When I run configure without options it works.I would be grateful for any suggestions what I'm doing wrong.
Or maybe somebody is able to build a torrent with image of rpi with qt? I promise to seed it.

I have managed to compile this.
There are some errors when the cube example is run
@EGLFS: Unable to query physical screen size, defaulting to 100 dpi.
EGLFS: To override, set QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH and QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT (in millimeters).
EGLFS: Unable to query screen depth, defaulting to 32.
EGLFS: To override, set QT_QPA_EGLFS_DEPTH.
@
but I am able to compile and run my software.I have made back up image of my sd card
@sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/path/to/image.img@
The image is more than 4GB. I have tested the backup: qmake and make are ok. Unfortunately there are some problems with "opt" directory, tightvncserver and possibly other as well ....
Do you know what caused the problems? Should I do the image in another way?If somebody would like a copy of the image, despite the problems, I will try to help.
I can try to create a torrent or maybe there is better solution? -
Hi,
Sorry for up this old thread.
In the ./configure, I get this error:bq. bsymbolic_functions.c:2:2: error: #error "Symbolic function binding on this architecture may be broken, disabling it (see QTBUG-36129)."
Symbolic function binding disabled.How can I disable it? Even in the output file said it is disabled, didn't create the make file and I can not continue the install process.
What can I do?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I have the same problem that POLON encounter
pi@raspberrypi ~/opt $ git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git
Cloning into 'qt5'...
fatal: unable to connect to gitorious.org:
gitorious.org[0: 87.238.52.168]: errno=Connection timed out
gitorious.org[1: 2a02:c0:1014::1]: errno=Address family not supported by protocolI can't figure out what is going on, I have been on Linux environment for just 3 days,
i was requested to install a Qt on Raspberry-Pi Debian Wheezy. -
In order to properly run configure for Qt5 on the Raspberry Pi, you need to point the CROSS_COMPILE variable to the native compiler located at /usr/bin/g++. The CROSS_COMPILE parameter is the path to the compiler (without the g++). If you do not do this properly it will complain that it is not being cross compiled.
All output is stored in the file called ‘output’ in case something goes wrong. At the end of the output file it should say you can run ‘make’, if not look for errors at the end of the output.
Do not be concerned with some things not building due to missing packages, there will be errors for those. If it does not mention that you can run make then check the last error, it is generally the show-stopper.
Run configure:
./configure -v -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/ -opensource -confirm-license -optimized-qmake -reduce-relocations -reduce-exports -release -qt-pcre -make libs -prefix /usr/local/qt5 &> outputThis part i could not go through.. any advise?????
URGENT!! PLEASE HELP, thank you very much
