How to compile QT-GUI project with Yocto build

[rmkmani1001]

Hi all,
I'm new to Qt5 and Yocto build..
I have done couple search and exercise I have successfully build my yocto image for "Licheepi Nano" board.
I have done so far:
a. I have build "core-image-minimal"
b. I have build "core-image-sato"
c. I have build "qt5-image"

Additionally..
I have compile c file (hello_world.c).
I have compile Qt based application (myqtapp - which contain  myQTApp.cpp and myQTApp.pro)
by got help from this video link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HyUCWOQhr8

Now I'm developed QT-GUI application which contain couple files (myTree.pro, main.cpp, mainwindow.cpp, mainwindow.h, mainwindow.ui), please guide me, what are the updated will be there in
a. bblayer.conf,
b. local.conf
c. mytree_0.1.bb
and any other files...

Note: my application name is "myTree".

Please guide me.. I have struct from last couple week..

thanks in advance..

Hi and welcome to devnet,

This stack overflow answer might help you get going.

@SGaist thanks for your quick reply..
The one work for non-graphical or non-wedget application..
I have tried this method with my QT-GUI application .. but it result in error.. not able to compile..

Sorry.. Please guide me how to move forward..

Which error would that be ?
If you can build the application from the command line it means that your project is defined correctly. If you have an error in yocto it means you likely did not include one or more modules that are required for your application.

@SGaist thanks for your guidance..
I have result in this error

Additional note:
a. I have stored all my file in "/home/mani/yocto/poky/meta-mani/recipes-software/mytree/files" folder
b. mytree_0.1.bb file is in "/home/mani/yocto/poky/meta-mani/recipes-software/mytree" folder

1. mytree_0.1.bb file as below:

SUMMARY = "Test QT program"
DESCRIPTION = "Test QT program"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"

DEPENDS += " qtbase wayland "

SRC_URI = " file://myTree.pro
file://main.cpp
file://mainwindow.cpp
file://mainwindow.h
file://mainwindow.ui
"
TARGET_CC_ARCH += "${LDFLAGS}"

S = "${WORKDIR}/*"

do_install_append () {
install -d ${D}${bindir}
install -m 0775 myTree ${D}${bindir}/
}

inherit qmake5

---

2. Added in conf/local.conf file as below:

---

IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mycapp "
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " myqtapp "
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mytree "
DISTRO_FEATURES_append += " wayland "
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " qtbase qtwayland "
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += " wayland weston "
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove += " connman connman-client connman-plugin-wifi "

CONF_VERSION = "1"
RM_OLD_IMAGE = "1"
INHERIT += "rm_work"

---

please guide me, what was the mistake i have done..

thanks.

@rmkmani1001 said in How to compile QT-GUI project with Yocto build:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mytree "

I have successfully executed these two programs.

1. IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mycapp "
2. IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " myqtapp "

I have added new line for my QT-GUI as
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mytree "

Just for information, these three lines are added in end of local.conf file.
CONF_VERSION = "1"
RM_OLD_IMAGE = "1"
INHERIT += "rm_work"

thanks..
