Error using kmap2qmap

michaelL

Hi,
i compile the kmap2qmap tool and it gave me an error: cannot open output file /bin/kmap2qmap: Permission denied

So i gave myself priviledges on /bin so i can read/write there.
Qt Creator compiled kmap2qmap.pro project with no errors after that.

Now on terminal i want to test this example:

kmap2qmap i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap include/compose.latin1.inc de-latin1-nodeadkeys.qmap

But it gives me this error:

/bin/kmap2qmap: error while loading shared libraries: libGAL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea?

Hi
Can you try ldd on the kmap2qmap

It sounds like it wants the : libGAL.so and its not found.

So find a way to install it. not sure if you can apt-get it or part of
bigger thing.

But check it first :)

@michaelL Do you really want to install it in /bin?
Normal users should not have write access there (for good reasons).

michaelL

@jsulm How do i deal with this error then:
/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld.gold:-1: error: fatal error: /bin/kmap2qmap: open: Permission denied

@mrjj the libGAL.so is a gaphic library for the embedded processor. I dont think i cant get acess to install it.

@michaelL Change DESTINATION in pro file to something else
You should have that lib already - how else would you be able to build the project?

michaelL

@jsulm this is my .pro file:

QT = core platformsupport-private
CONFIG += console

SOURCES += main.cpp

load(qt_app)

You mean change the build directory?

This is the compile output error meassge:
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.9/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld.gold: fatal error: /bin/kmap2qmap: open: Permission denied

@jsulm i didt DESTDIR = /home/michael/
but it still gives me that error.
The output file want to go to /bin/kmap2qmap even when i change the direction

jsulm

@michaelL Did you run qmake again after changing project file?

michaelL

@jsulm Yes i clean the project and build it again on Qt Creator.

michaelL

@jsulm Manage to get kmap2qmap working.
So i gave myself priviledges on /bin first.
Send the file /bin/kmap2qmap to my embedded device at its /bin location.
Did this:
cd /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/

kmap2qmap de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap de-latin1-nodeadkeys.qmap

A warning came:
Warning: keymap file 'de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap', line 4: could not locate keymap include

Parsing the specified keymap(s) produced 1 warning(s).
Your generated qmap might not be complete.

The de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap file was zipped as de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz
So i unzipped it as:
gunzip de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz

I went and ignored the waring and gave it a try by exporting :
export QT_QPA_EVDEV_KEYBOARD_PARAMETERS=keymap=/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.qmap

But that didnt worked becouse the default keyboard was still selected instead of my german one.
