Qt5.1 on Rasberry Pi (full install not cross-compile)

postmako

Sounds like you transferred the files incorrectly from your PC to your Raspberry Pi. I would use WinSCP to transfer the files or use FileZilla but then use SFTP in binary mode.

How did you transfer your files?

Hi postmako,
I used a USB stick from PC to RPI. Just downloaded WinSCP and I'll give it ago using SFTP protocol.

Thanks

postmako

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 Dropbox

Cheers

postmako

Could you post your code and then we could all see why it is full-screen only? Are you running it in the main terminal or from x-windows?

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"?>
<ui version="4.0">
<class>MainWindow</class>
<widget class="QMainWindow" name="MainWindow">

<property name="maximumSize">

<height>430</height>

</property>
<property name="windowTitle">
<string>MainWindow</string>@

Thanks

Well hopefully someone else will be able to help you with this. My pi is busy at the moment and we will be moving soon. I'll be busy for the next couple of months. Let us know if you end up fixing it and how you did it.

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

geoffml

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.

@ <layout class="QGridLayout" name="gridLayout">
<item row="0" column="0" alignment="Qt::AlignVCenter">
<widget class="QToolBox" name="toolBox">
<property name="minimumSize">
<size>
<width>575</width>
<height>375</height>@

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
gitorious.org[1: 2a02:c0:1014::1]: errno=Address family not supported by protocol
@

Internet connection is working.
I'm not an Linux expert.

I would be grateful for any suggestions how to solve this problem.
Thanks

sierdzio

Try cloning through http instead of git.

polon

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.

polon

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.

misiek303

Can someone share a plain raspberry/qt5 image with all.

polon

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 protocol

I 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.

YDYD

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 &> output

This part i could not go through.. any advise?????

URGENT!! PLEASE HELP, thank you very much

Have a look at "this blog":http://www.ics.com/blog/building-qt-5-raspberry-pi. I followed most of it with 5.3 and eventually got it to run.
