Qt 5 on Raspberry Pi - the thread

PiOfCube

Hi there!

I put our project up on the wiki list. I was going to start development early January but as Qt has started this idea off, I thought we could begin earlier.

We have some plans already being researched for the Raspberry Pi and some of them will be (hopefully) a much cheaper (the software will be free and not require extremely expensive hardware) alternative to many "specialist" applications. One of the biggest challenges for Open Indie Project Dot Org will be to provide full language support. We decided to use a talk table system for this but also provide methods to use on-the-fly translators. We will be providing support for verbal, written and visual methods of communication (speech, text, sign and Makaton for example). This system will also be published under an Open Source licence to allow other developers to make use of it in their own projects.

Once Open Indie Project Dot Org enters alpha testing (December 16th 2011) we should start getting things brought together.

I have used other environments in the past but only glanced at Qt. No particular reasons, just luck of the draw. However, after taking a look into Qt seriously, I think it might just be the way to go.

Thanks for accepting me. :-)

I recommend flakopana, he updated his entry with a link with some info http://raspberrypana.wikidot.com/start I think he will be good in robotics area

Nice to see all this buzz about raspberry PI and Qt. I've been accepted, now I'm in the education categorie with the OpenGL graphic calculator Math Graphica. I'm very motivated right now, hacking OpenGL ES programable pipeline wich I'm still not very confortable with.
I've been reading the Pi website and foruns with close attention, and this little piece of hardware looks really nice. Also it looks like that Meego Mer OS can be used.
I also have a very old software I made in MS Visual C++ 6, with very cool 3D animated graphs of electromagnetic waves propagating in open space and in rectangular wave guides, this would be a heck of a good port to the raspberry.
Thank you guys, keep up the good work.

Hi qgil, did update my entry (User: mhoff) with link to Ethernet/IP stack project - would be great if you could have a look to it again. Could open great application space for Raspberry / QT5 in automation integration.

Thanks for your attention.

I recommend truta.alexandru ( http://wiki.qt-project.org/User:Truta.alexandru ), we study together at the same university.

Hi Quim,

I recommend Michael Rondeau (mirondeau). He is a colleague of mine at work and having two people working together is better than one!

Thanks!

I don't see the "Mobile Apps" and "Desktop Apps" category in the QtonPi accepted list. :)

So, it would appear that the voucher codes have gone out today for those who are signed up with the QtOnPi program! Hoorah!

I'm not sure if this is the place, but there is a problem with the toolchain-and-sysroot-armv5tel.tar.bz2 in qtonpi-0.2.

I cannot extract this archive.
it will unzip, but not untar.

sha1sum matches for the entire archive.

What command did you use to extract it?
@tar -xf <filename>@

this should automatically recognize the compression applied or if that fails
@tar -jxf <filename>@

will extract the bzip2 archive.

interesting, I tried it in a few different environments and it appears to have been a problem with one particular VM. First time that has happened.

Hello, I don't know whether this thread is active or not so simply try. I have used the bakeqtpi.bash script from http://qt-project.org/wiki/RaspberryPi_Beginners_guide. At the end I got the following messages:

Compiled qtimageformats
Compiled qtsvg
Compiled qtjsbackend
Compiled qtscript
Compiled qtxmlpatterns
Compiled qtdeclarative
Failed qtsensors
Failed qt3d
Compiled qtgraphicaleffects
Failed qtjsondb
Failed qtlocation
Compiled qtquick1
Failed qtsystems
Compiled qtmultimedia

What exactly does this mean to me? Will QT5 run properly on my PI?

thanks for your feedback
