Question about lighthouse
-
Hello guys,
I am very interested in the lighthouse project, and thinking of making my own QT port. right now, I am studying the Android-QT project. The platform plugin codes are pretty clear. I had experience porting some other c++ project to Android, so I can understand that part pretty well. The thing is that I am not very familiar with the Makefile and the Configure file. I don't know where I should tell the QT library to use the android platform plugin.
is that something determined during the runtime? or something I should specify during the compiling time?
I noticed that there is this mkspec folder. is that where I should specify which platform plugin to use?
Thanks.

Well, nobody answered my question. I guess I can answer it myself after some investigation.
It turned out that, which platform plugin to use is determined during runtime, by a function called
qt_guiPlatformPlugin() defined under qguiplatformplugin.cpp
inside the function, QT checks an environment variable QT_PLATFORM_PLUGIN, and decides which plugin to load.
