Qt webkit browser getting crashed when opening any page

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

This is not the same problem, you are not using an ARM cross-compiled version of Qt running on linux and not using the same version of Qt

illera88

You are right. That means that this bug has been out there for a while...

SGaist

Not necessarily no, however if you can come up with a minimal example that systematically crashes, then you may have found something.

SGaist,

I am running QtWebKit version 5.4.0 on TI am335x ARM processor and using TI SDK 5_01_01_01 for graphic drivers and library support., cross-compiled with arm-gnueabihf 4.7 (linaro).

I try to run 'browser' example listed as QtWebKitWidget example and I run into 'Segmentation Fault'

I am not asking you for a solution, because I know you will just point me use a bunch of other 3rd party tools to spit out a bunch of logs that take a pro know what it all means and then diagnose problem myself.

Being a Hall of Fame Certified Qt Specialist, I was wondering if you could point me to a Qt forum thread where someone has actually got QtWebKit's working for ARM. Any ARM. Any Qt version greater than or equal to 5. I can find no forums, no examples, no steps how to get QtWebKit examples going. No help from Qt or other sources.

Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Even i tried to compile Qtwebkit5.4.0 without sgx for TI-AM335x, I am getting errors
opengl error. Can u share how you compiled qtbase5.4.0 with sgx.

qt patches. for qt5.4.0
2,qmake conf.

Thanks & Regards

Sorry EricZ89, there are a bit too many threads for my memory to hold

Hey vattipalli, I'd be happy to share with you some of my build time materials for QtWebKit.

It is important to note that my build environment is for OpenEmbedded based on the Yocto project, so I used the meta-qt5 bitbake recipes. The patches used for Qt5.4.0 are listed here:
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/tree/master/recipes-qt/qt5/qtbase
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/tree/master/recipes-qt/qt5/qtwebkit
My qmake.conf is listed in qtbase-opensource-src-5.4.0/mkspecs/linux-oe-g++ . You can find the qtbase-opensource-src tarball here: http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.0/submodules/

This is what my qmake.conf looks like:
@MAKEFILE_GENERATOR = UNIX
CONFIG += incremental
QMAKE_INCREMENTAL_STYLE = sublib

include(../common/linux.conf)

QMAKE_<TOOL> (moc, uic, rcc) are gone, overwrite only ar and strip

QMAKE_AR = $(OE_QMAKE_AR) cqs
QMAKE_STRIP = $(OE_QMAKE_STRIP)
QMAKE_WAYLAND_SCANNER = $(OE_QMAKE_WAYLAND_SCANNER)

include(../common/gcc-base-unix.conf)

*FLAGS from gcc-base.conf

QMAKE_CFLAGS += $(OE_QMAKE_CFLAGS)
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += $(OE_QMAKE_CXXFLAGS)
QMAKE_LFLAGS += $(OE_QMAKE_LDFLAGS)

include(../common/g++-unix.conf)

tc settings from g++-base.conf

QMAKE_COMPILER = $(OE_QMAKE_COMPILER)
QMAKE_CC = $(OE_QMAKE_CC)
QMAKE_CXX = $(OE_QMAKE_CXX)

QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += $(OE_QMAKE_CFLAGS)

QMAKE_LINK = $(OE_QMAKE_LINK)
QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB = $(OE_QMAKE_LINK)
QMAKE_LINK_C = $(OE_QMAKE_LINK)
QMAKE_LINK_C_SHLIB = $(OE_QMAKE_LINK)

for the SDK

isEmpty(QMAKE_QT_CONFIG):QMAKE_QT_CONFIG = $(OE_QMAKE_QT_CONFIG)

load(qt_config)@

Another point that is important to get QtWebKits compiled & installed is to make sure your configuration options are enabled/disabled correctly. For example, the ICU (international components for unicode) needs to be enabled when configuring Qt base, which passes on these configuration options to QtWebKits.
Listed below are my configuration options that I set:
@ ${S}/configure -v
-opensource -confirm-license
-sysroot ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}
-no-gcc-sysroot
-prefix ${OE_QMAKE_PATH_PREFIX}
