Qt 4.8.5

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Do you have the network properly setup on your set top box ?

On a side note, are you locked to that version of Qt ? If not then please upgrade to Qt 5 or at least to Qt 4.8.7 (latest and last version of the Qt 4 series)

Thanks for ur reply....yes network is connected properly .In address bar if i give some website ip address means its loading .But like google and youtube even if i give directly IP address also its not loading..

SGaist

I was thinking about the DNS setup, does it work properly on the command line ?

Arunkumar.V

Yes through command line I can able to ping google etc...

@Arunkumar.V Something silly perhaps... Can you try prepending http:// before the website name and check if the site loads?

Arunkumar.V

That also I have tried .just it is exiting from address bar.Through fancy browser.

@Arunkumar.V What do you mean by "just it is exiting from address bar" ?
Is the browser crashing ?

Arunkumar.V

It is not crashing .Page is not loading .In address bar if i give www.google.com It just gets refreshed instead loading .

p3c0

@Arunkumar.V Can you do a test as follows ?

Goto http://forum.qt.io

after above site gets completely loaded

Goto http://www.google.com

Let us know about the results of each step.

Arunkumar.V

I have tried for both

Goto http://forum.qt.io -- refreshing has I said before.
2.Goto http://www.google.com-- same as first refreshing has I said before.

But Locally I have configured one Apache server and started running it .Eg: http://10.1.71.28 - the page gets loading
and same if i give some private website IP in address bar it also loading.

Now I am trying to compile directly for Linux PC ,here itself I am going check whether same issue is produced .I have followed the steps for compiling.
QT version-QT 4.8.5

./configure -webkit
make
make install
I think fancy browser will be compiled.Now I need to know how run the fancy browser for loading all the web pages through Linux PC.

Please guide me any other steps yet to be followed..

How did you build Qt for your set top box ?

Arunkumar.V

We have added linux-sh4-g++ compiler in below path
mkspecs/qws/linux-sh4-g++/qmake.conf” and added in qmake.conf file

QT_CFLAGS_DIRECTFB=-I/opt/STM/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/target/usr/include/directfb -D_REENTRANT

QT_LIBS_DIRECTFB=-L/opt/STM/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/target/usr/lib -ldirect -ldirectfb -lfusion -lz

using this we have configured

./configure -embedded sh4 -xplatform qws/linux-sh4-g++ -declarative -qt-gfx-directfb -webkit

then
make
make install

Arunkumar.V

I have compiled for Linux PC directly by following steps
QT version-QT 4.8.5

./configure -webkit
make
make install
But in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.5/examples/ In this I cannot find webkit folder

SGaist

I don't remember whether the examples are installed when compiling from sources. However you can always build them from the sources themselves.

Arunkumar.V

Now I have downloaded In this fancy browser is available .Can Please tell how to compile fancy browser. I have followed the below steps .

./configure -prefix /usr/local/qt5.
./configure -prefix /usr/local/qt5 -qt-xcb
make
make install

SGaist

Something fishy here: your line looks like you want to build Qt 5 and you mention Qt 4.8.5 in your thread.

Arunkumar.V

Yes ,Sorry here some N/W issue.QT 5.5 I am using in that I have followed the following steps .
./configure -prefix /usr/local/qt5.
./configure -prefix /usr/local/qt5 -qt-xcb
make
make install
for compilation .After compilation in /usr/local /QT 5 have been created ,but in that no fancy browser exe is there. Is that i need to configure anything else?

SGaist

Just to make things clear: what are you going to use on your set top box in the end ? Qt 4 or Qt 5 ? If Qt 4, then there's not much sense in trying to build that example from the Qt 5 version.

Arunkumar.V

I have already facing problem in QT 4 so now trying to QT 5 .Now I am going to use
QT 5 for set top box .In that I am going to use fancy browser .
