Building Qt-Mobility 1.2.0 for the ARM processor

StevieRG

I'd like to get Qt-Mobilty 1.2.0 compiled for the Freescale i.MX ARM processor. I've successfully compiled Qt-4.7.4 for this processor and it runs fine.

For Qt-4.7.4 I have a unique mkspec containing absolute paths to the ARM compiler plus other ARM specific libs/includes/flags, and I invoke configure as:
"./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++-mx5x"
... then the make uses the ARM compiler etc.

For Qt-Mobility by default of course it wants to build for the PC Ubuntu target, but I'm not sure what I need to do to configure or cross-compile build for the ARM, if maybe someone could help with this please. Many thanks.

Use this option
-qmake-exec <name> Sets custom binary name for qmake binary
(default: qmake)
to set the arm version qmake .

Use this option

-modules <list> ... Restrict list of modules to build (default all supported)
Choose from: bearer contacts gallery location publishsubscribe
messaging multimedia systeminfo serviceframework
sensors versit organizer feedback connectivity
Modules should be separated by a space and surrounded
by double quotation. If a selected module depends on other modules

select the modules you want to use.

Thank you for your useful advice, it was the -qmake-exec option that I needed. From the description of the option, I hadn't realised that this exec name could also contain a path.

For other members with a similar question, the command line I used is:

./configure -release -qmake-exec ~/ltib/rootfs/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.4-mx5x-x11/bin/qmake -prefix /tftpboot/ltib/usr/local/Trolltech/Qtmobile-1.2.0-mx5x -examples -demos

... you'd change these paths to those of your own build and output directories.
