How can I cross-compile QT 5.0?

[T4QT]

yes I checked out fresh code and working from there

[T4QT]

also can you please take a look at my 2nd observation about webkit.

[SGaist]

Ruby on your host

[T4QT]

I got little success, webkit is compiled now.

But when I am trying to use it in my Qt-application.

QT =+ webkit webkitwidget

Project error: Unknown modules in QT: webkit webkitwidgets

I think it is related with the version of qmake , I have 3.0 but that was supplied with Qt-5.3.1.

So how to include webkit and wekitwidget .

[SGaist]

If you want to build a project with your cross-compiled Qt, use the corresponding qmake.

[T4QT]

I think you are not getting my point. It is obvious for me to use the same qmake to build my project. If I use Qt =+ multimedia core, its working fine but the problem is with webkit,

There are certain post about this same error but not satisfactory answer to this problem.
so any clue on this part?
Also when I omit webkit and create the application and try to run on the target is say

Failed to load platform plugin xcb. I found one post by you and will go from there. http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/30825. Do I need xcb on host or target?

But still not sure for webkit error.

[T4QT]

1. I don't have libqxcb.so library at my qt_install/plugins/platforms location.
   I have only libqlinuxfb.so . libqminimal.so and libqoffscreen.so

[SGaist]

Are you running a X11 server on your target ?

[T4QT]

I am running linux-3.12 on my target. And I think the xcb requirement is for X11, can't I use the linux frame buffer to load my application?
No idea how I can run any simple application? Please guide.

[SGaist]

Yes, the xcb plugin is used for X11

Sure you can, tell you application which plugin to load when starting it. More info "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/embedded-linux.html

[T4QT]

ok so based on your link if I don't have X11, then I don't have to worry about XCB platform plugin. Instead I should try to enable LinuxFB.

Shall I use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=linuxfb:fb=/dev/fb0 at the configuration time.

And QT_QPA_GENERIC_PLUGINS=evdevkeyboard,evdevmouse,evdevtouch for the input, this is also at the configuration time.

Am I right?

[SGaist]

At run time would be more exact

[SGaist]

Hi SGaist,
Its been while we are communicating on the issue about how to successfully build and deploy the Qt application on the Arm board but nothing is coming up fruitful. I was wondering how best you can provide the help about the Qt?

Is it possible for you to provide some step by step guide, I also saw few of your communication with other interested people and those were left without fruitful outcome.

say I want to build application and deploy on the board: what are the things that I have to enable in kernel config, at the Qt config level and how to deploy application and deploying the Qt frame work:

On the board my file system is mounted through NFS, like this: bin, dev, etc, lib, proc, sbin, srv, sys, tmp, usr, var
