Are you using which Yocto branch?
Could you tell the MACHINE and the bblayers you're using?

Hmm good catch!

Although it turns out that I can't flick the list, because the items require some custom mouse move handling ... which reduces it to a non-interactive PathView. So, solved I guess! Thanks for pointing out the Tumbler though, and I hope my examples prove to be useful to others.

I'll try out soon Samsung S8 plus Samsung DeX
Samsung DeX is connected to a HD Monitor via HDMI and apps running on S8 are automatically running on this external monitor as soon as S8 is placed into the DeX dock.

will my QtQuickControls2 APP run under this environment ?
will the change of DPI and size work ?

I'll let you know ...

I already wrote it: use out of source builds.

Thank you so much for your recommendation! I will follow up with them.

Sorry but I'm not sure to find where to find this stack window .. (I'm using qtcreator 3.6.0)

see this.

I think i've made some progress, but the events from the mouse are not always managed.

I have added the uinput module to the Linux kernel (make menuconfig) I have created a node as explained in the documentation of x11vnc ( http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/x11vnc_opts.html#opt-pipeinput ) I start the vncserver firstly with the following command:
x11vnc -noipv6 -clip 500x500+0+0 -rawfb /dev/fb0 -pipeinput UINPUT:direct_abs= /dev/input/uinput (-dp -dk) & After that i've checked the /dev/input and noticed that a char node called event0 was created (/dev/input/event0) Then i can start my Qt5 application like this:
./myApp -geometry 500x500 -platform linuxfb -plugin evdevmouse:/dev /input/event0

Then i can move from one button to another using UP,DOWN,LEFT and RIGHT Key. I can push the buttons using the SPACE button ... that's cool my Application works correctly (^_^)/, but still no click :-( ... still looking...

Hi and welcome to devnet,

For question regarding Qt lower levels, I'd recommend posting on the interest mailing list. You'll find there Qt's developers/maintainers (this forum is more user oriented)

Hi,

Not really a Qt question, you should rather check on the IMX/Linux distribution you're using to see what is happening

oops.. Sorry for the name.
Actually I am developing my application for Ubuntu and right now no plan to port on other platform. But If I face any problem I will post here.. :D
Thanks tomasz3dk :)

I have same problem with GST, but in 0,1 version.
GST launch working, but Qt cannot find m_videoSink, even modify qgstreamervideowindow.cpp doesn't work.

Hi

May I ask how you got this to build?

I am trying to compile Qt with the following configuration (for Raspberry Pi):

./configure --prefix=/usr -release -opensource -confirm-license -c++11 -no-largefile -no-qml-debug -system-zlib \ -no-journald -system-libpng -system-freetype -system-libjpeg -system-sqlite -openssl -no-pulseaudio -alsa \ -no-sql-db2 -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-oci -no-sql-odbc -no-sql-psql -no-sql-sqlite2 -no-sql-tds -nomake examples -reduce-exports \ -no-directfb -no-linuxfb -eglfs -no-xcb -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/ -sysroot /

Here is my patch:

diff --git a/qtwebengine/tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/functions.prf b/qtwebengine/tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/functions.prf index ef0320d..5abaecc 100644 --- a/qtwebengine/tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/functions.prf +++ b/qtwebengine/tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/functions.prf @@ -12,13 +12,9 @@ defineTest(isPlatformSupported) { return(false) } - linux-g++*:!isGCCVersionSupported(): return(false) - !isPythonVersionSupported(): return(false) - linux-g++*|win32-msvc2013|macx-clang: return(true) boot2qt: return(true) - skipBuild("Qt WebEngine can currently only be built for Linux (GCC), Windows (MSVC 2013), OS X (XCode 5.1+) or Qt for Device Creation.") - return(false) + return(true) } defineTest(isPythonVersionSupported) { -- 2.1.0

And it succeeds, but I don't get a message about WebEngine being an unsupported platform. It simply does not build that module. I tried to follow this reference here, but had no luck either: https://forum.qt.io/topic/48223/webengine-raspberry-pi/2

I am building native, not cross, on Debian Jessie.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Hi,

It depends partly on what you use on your board, do you have a X server running ?

I am working on Nitrogen6 Max Board using Ubuntu Trusty for i.MX6 boards img (light weight desktop environment).
I have downloaded img file from timesys for direct use http://boundarydevices.com/trusty-ubuntu-mx6/.

If you really want to build without a QPA platform plugin you must pass
-no-qpa-platform-guard to configure. Doing this will
produce a Qt that can not run GUI applications.
The dependencies needed for xcb to build are listed in
src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README

If I check this readme it tells me the dependencies I need and suggest using -qt-xcb to reduce dependencies. I have the dependencies so I add -qt-xcb to the end of my command

sudo ./configure -v -opensource -confirm-license -developer-build -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtwebkit -device imx6 -prefix /usr/local/ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/home/bob/Downloads/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- -qt-xcb

This spew this pile of errors: http://pastebin.com/uh9EYs1y

Would re-installing Ubuntu or something work? I'm really at the end of my options. Everywhere people seem to be able to run these ./configure commands with some options easily. For me it just spews lines of errors and stuff. As you can see above trying to get the command you use to work results in work followed by not working anywa

The static build is failing inside of Yocto. All I have done to get this to fail is to change -shared to -static inside of qtbase.bb and then $ bitbake meta-toolchain-qt5. Building Qt dynamically will successfully create the SDK, but not statically.

I have found someone with the exact same problem here. The plugin lib directory path is incorrect and has the cross compile prefix omitted causing problems finding the necessary libraries.

I've posted my build environment and error output here.

Hi @atessadri,

I would like to know how to understand when the animation embedded in the transition is really finished.
Is there any signal to catch ?

Yes there is. Transition has running property so you can use the onRunningChanged signal handler inside it. Eg:

Transition { ... onRunningChanged: if(!running) console.log("Stopped") }

Sorry I don't have answers to your other questions.

This maybe due to the fact that our IMX6 board does not have the plugins/mediaservice particularly the libgstmediaplayer.so. Does anyone know how to create this library? And which directory in the IMX6 do I put this if I have successfully cross compiled it?

It depends if it's a Qt Quick application or not. If you are using widgets or doing your own custom OpenGL rendering then there will be no problem. The issue with Qt Quick is that it has its own animation system which gets driven by the default 16.66 ms on platforms where it fails to query the real refresh rate from the system. Run with QSG_INFO=1 to verify the actual value that is in use. (NB Qt 5.5 has some improvements in this area - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44971 - so it is now able to retrive the correct refresh rate on embedded platforms too)
