    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?

        Thanks and regards

          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 ?

                    The error I posted is already with the enviroment variable set to 1. The hole errors are below . But they are all the same.

                      Strange, let's take it the other way around: use your target's original libffi to cross-compile Qt with

                        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

                          Segfault ? Did you run your program with the debugger to see where it's crashing ?
