How to run QT application on X-window of the embedded platform

uniquez · wrote on 22 May 2012, 01:37

One more question, when I configure my QT-lib compiling using "./configure -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++",
it outputs "You have not explicitly asked to use pkg-config and are cross-compiling.
pkg-config will not be used to automatically query cflag/lib parameters for
dependencies"
But when I use "./configure", there is no that message.

Although it is not en error, I think something is not configured right.

Try it: ./configure -arch arm -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -force-pkg-config

After I modified "QMAKE_LIBS_X11 = -lXext -lX11 -lm -lxcb -lpthread-stubs -lXau -lXdmcp " in /mkspecs/common/linux.conf,
now I can configure successfully by using "./configure -arch arm -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -force-pkg-config".

However, after I "make", there are some errors:

When I make again by configuring " ./configure -arch arm -xplatform arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ -release -force-pkg-config"
There is an other error:

Are you sure that path to arm X11 libraries is correct (in linux.conf QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 and QMAKE_INCDIR_X11) and X11 version is X11R6? If it's true, then i can suppose that arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ and linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ have a different binary format and ld can't link it. If i'm right, you should use one compiler for X11 libs and Qt. It means that you should use linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ rather than arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++, because it's compiler from Ubuntu repository and you are compiling for Ubuntu.

But I didn't have any problems like this. So, I don't know what exactly you should do in this case :(

“sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabi” and try to use mkspec from qt.gitorius. Then ./configure -arch arm -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++.

===============================================
Today I followed the second method to apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabi and make my QT-lib,and those errors still exist.

==============================
And I am sure my arm X11 libraries is correct. Because in /qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1/config.tests/x11/xlib, I use "arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ -o xlib xlib.cpp -I/opt/ezsdk/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/include -L/opt/ezsdk/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib -lXext -lX11 -lm -lxcb -lpthread-stubs -lXau -lXdmcp"
and "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ -o xlib xlib.cpp -I/opt/ezsdk/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/include -L/opt/ezsdk/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib -lXext -lX11 -lm -lxcb -lpthread-stubs -lXau -lXdmcp"
to compile xlib. Both successfully.

Bye the way, the X11 libraries' directory is under the /arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib in filesystem, so I think the X11 libraries is compiled by arm-none-linux-gnueabi. However, Whether I use "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++" or "linux-arm-gnueabi-g++" to make my QT-lib, those “ undefined reference to” error still exist.

Sorry for reply later. Last Thursday, I had copiled QT-LIB for Ubuntu based DM8148 successfully.

Above these errors, I made two mistakes about X11-LIB.

I wrote my own mkspec for arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ compiler, and I named it "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++" not "linux-", so when I make, there is an error: /lib/libQtCore.so: undefined reference to `QDnotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::create()’
Because When creating the mkspec for a embedded target if the name of the directory does not match "linux-*" then the following build error will be seen.

The resolution is :
edit ./src/corelib/io/io.pri
find linux-*:
append your cross-toolchain's prefix after it

eg:
my toolchains's prefix is arm_xxxxx
so....
68 linux-|arm:{
69 SOURCES +=
70 io/qfilesystemwatcher_inotify.cpp
71 io/qfilesystemwatcher_dnotify.cpp
72
73 HEADERS +=
74 io/qfilesystemwatcher_inotify_p.h
75 io/qfilesystemwatcher_dnotify_p.h
76 }

==================================================================

/lib/libQtCore.so: undefined reference to `clock_gettime’:
append "-lrt" parameters after the "./configure" so that the compiler can find the define in librt.

==================================================================

“/lib/libQtGui.so: undefined reference to” about X11-lib
I modified QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11, QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBS_X11 in /mkspec/common/linux.conf to specify X11 include files and libraries, arm libs. However the Makefile, which qmake generated, did not include X11-LIB in the “LIBS”. So when I compile the demos or examples of QT, there are many of "undefined reference to" errors about X11-LIB, then I append "-lXmu -lXft -lXt -lXcursor -lXrandr -lXrender -lXv -lXdamage -lXcomposite -lxcb-damage -lxcb-composite -lxcb-randr -lxcb-xv -lxcb-xvmc -lxcb-xprint -lxcb-xtest -lxcb-xfixes -lxcb-xinerama -lxcb-xevie -lxcb-xf86dri -lxcb-shape -lxcb-shm -lxcb-sync -lxcb-render -lxcb-res -lxcb-screensaver -lxcb-dpms -lxcb-dri2 -lxcb-record -lxcb-glx -lXfixes -lXext -lX11-xcb -lX11 -lxcb -lXau -lXdmcp -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpthread-stubs -lexpat -lm -lz -lstdc++ -lglib-2.0 -lSM -lICE -luuid " after "LIBS =" in demos and examples' Makefiles which qmake generated, and it can compile successfully.

But I have not find why my qmake not generate above of X11-LIB in Makefile. I am sure that "linux.conf" is modified correctly.

==============================================

Anyway, I have transplanted QT-LIB to Ubuntu successfully, and I must thank you so much for your warm-heart and help me again and aigan!!! If there were no your guidance, I wound not complete it.

So, now cross-compiler works fine? And your test-program is running correctly on arm system?

uniquez · wrote on 5 Jun 2012, 03:13

My test-program works fine, besides two small questions:

My .gif files dont display, while I am sure I have compiled libqgif.so in plugins/mageformats, and have put it in qt-lib directory of filesystem.
My test-program can generate ico which I selected in Windows platform, but can not generate in Ubuntu platform。 libqico.so has been also in plugins/mageformats.

and i got this error

Basic XLib functionality test failed!
 You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing
QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 in /home/qmax/Desktop/QT_Latest/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.5.3/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++.

I tried the following
Try 1:

sudo apt-get build-dep qt4-qmake (installed)

Try 2:

sudo apt-get build-dep  libxext-dev

Hello Everyone , I am also facing a similar problem.
I have a BeagleBone Black (Rev A 5c) running Angstrom linux.
I have ubuntu 13.04 PC as host. I am trying to run a Qt UI application on Beaglebone which is connected to HDMI screen on which by default it shows Desktop Screen.
First of All , I set up Qt -(4.8.5 )build environment for ARM on my ubuntu (Host).
Then I transfered The Qt library to Beaglebone.
I am able to cross compile applications for Beaglebone on Qtcreator .
I tranfered the executable file to BeagleBone ,The console/terminal applications are running fine but when i Start the GUI application ,No window frame launches up inside the desktop as if app. do not start . I can just see desktop.I followed this tutorial to set up Qt-4.8.5(http://www.cloud-rocket.com/2013/07/building-qt-for-beaglebone).
Someone PLease help.Your help will be appreciated.
