      Hi,

      Did you check that your target has the same library version as the one you cross-compiled ?

        Hey, thank you,

        But sadly, I'm pretty sure they are the same library versions - cross compiled and on target.

        Tanks and Regards

          You can try replacing the one on the target with the one you used to cross-compile Qt

            Sorry for answering late, I had an exam yesterday....

            But sadly that didn't solved it. After following your advice ( same error), I also compiled Qt and my project agiain, copied librarys and Qt on my target, but that doesn't solved my problem either.

            Thanks again

              For the crosscompilation of gstreamer/phonon I compield the libs I mention in the first post (zlib, gstreamer etc) in the folder /opt/phonon/
              I also copied this folder to my target. But if i delete that folder the same error appears.

              Do I need that folder on my target? (I think so)

              If so the error could be a wrong linking between the plugin and the gstream/phonon libs.
              Any idea how to fix that or how to analyse the linking?

              Thanks and regards

                sorry for the soliloquy.
                If I execute the plugin manual ./libphonon_gstreamer.so: Segmentation fault
                That shouldn't be right or?

                  Run ldd on your target on all your Qt libs/applications to see if there's something unusual

                    everything seems fine - nothing is unusual.
                    Question, is the plugin (libphonon_gstreamer.so) executable? is the error Segmentation fault normal when I try to run the plugin ?

                    Thanks again

                      A plugin is a library not an executable

                      What does ldd return on your target ?

                          No problem, that's what I asked you :)

                          Looks like all libraries can be found, can you run your application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1 ?

                                i tried a lot of diffrents libs... but nothing became any better :(

                                After that I changed the cross compiler, the porgram abort with Segmentation error , the fist time phonon is needed ... don't know if that is any better.
                                I think that the phonon plugin is loaded but can not be executed?

                                ( During the anyoing testing of different libs, I tried to run the movie example of the qt creator on my target ( no Phonon is needed). But sadly after the gif file is loaded there is a segmentation error, then the movie should start as well. Probably not related with the prolem above.....)

                                Thanks and Regards
