    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 ?

              ok thank you.

              To get an better overview I changed some directory, the error says now: @QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.4-arm/plugins/phonon_backend/libphonon_gstreamer.so" : "Cannot load library /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.4-arm/plugins/phonon_backend/libphonon_gstreamer.so:@

                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.
                  phon is the name of my program.

                    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 ?
