    Hey,

    I ve compield Qt for embedded with -glib -phonon -phonon-backend. My intention was to test the functionality with a small video application. But it dosn't work. With QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS it shows that there are maybe some problems with libffi - undefined symbol: Cannot load library ffi_type_uint32

    @QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on [...]/QtEmbedded-4.8.4-arm/plugins/phonon_backend/libphonon_gstreamer.so" : "Cannot load library /mnt/usb/D21/QtEmbedded-4.8.4-arm/plugins/phonon_backend/libphonon_gstreamer.so: ([...]/QtEmbedded-4.8.4-arm/plugins/phonon_backend/libphonon_gstreamer.so: undefined symbol: ffi_type_uint32)"
    WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded@

    For the phonon-plugin I crosscompiled:

    • zlib.1.2.6
    • libxml2-2.9.1
    • liboil-0.3.17
    • libffi-3.3.11
    • glib-2.37.5
    • check-0.9.10
    • gstreamer-0.10.36
    • gst-plugin-base-0.10.36

    I also changed ther libffi version but with no better result.

    The links of the libphonon_gstreamer.so (ldd) seems to be fine.

    It would be gread if someone has an idee.
    Thank you

        Hi,

        Did you check that your target has the same library version as the one you cross-compiled ?

          Hey, thank you,

          But sadly, I'm pretty sure they are the same library versions - cross compiled and on target.

          Tanks and Regards

            You can try replacing the one on the target with the one you used to cross-compile Qt

              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?

                    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 ?

                                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 ?
