8 Hours later after source compile, NOTHING?
-
I just let my computer go through what was about 8 hours of compiling the qt source tree per "Building Qt4 for Blackberry ":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building-Qt4-for-Blackberry (Should mention how long of a process this is) and my compile directory is not there!
Here is what I did, maybe someone can explain what happen to me:
-
First I downloaded the git though my git shell.
-
Second opened MSYS 1.0 and ran the initial configuration: configure.exe -opensource -confirm-license
-
Third (still using MSYS) I created a new configure.exe: 1| cd tools/configure
2| ../../bin/qmake
3| mingw32-make
(Far as I can tell it replaces the original configure.exe for me(date & time stamp)) -
Fourth (Still using MSYS) I use the new configure.exe to set the blackberry configuration: configure.exe -opensource -confirm-license -release -xplatform unsupported/blackberry-armv7le-qcc -arch i386 -nomake examples nomake demos -no-neon -opengl es2 -prefix c:\dev\qt4install
Fifth I run the following commands per the documentation and eight hours later neither qt4install folder shows or install at my designated path c:\dev\qt4install.

Now that I lay it out I think I may see the problem but curious as to why my shell didn't say something was wrong. This is what I think I did wrong:
@configure.exe -opensource -confirm-license -release -xplatform unsupported/blackberry-armv7le-qcc -arch i386 -nomake examples nomake demos -no-neon -opengl es2 -prefix c:\dev\qt4install@
should be:
@configure.exe -opensource -confirm-license -release -xplatform unsupported/blackberry-armv7le-qcc -arch i386 -nomake examples nomake demos -no-neon -opengl es2 -prefix c:/dev/qt4install@
The fracking backslashes! Tell you in the morning, after I go though this again... STOP ME IF I AM WRONG!
This is the moment that I am really glad that I had made backups of the source as I completed each step. Now I can just open the one just before the BB compile effort; that's 2 hours saved.
