Qt5.1 Beta 1 Error Compiling Android xkbcommon.h


  • Hi All,
    I am trying to compile the Qt5.1 beta for android on WinXP using the following guide
    http://qt-project.org/wiki/building_qt-android_on_windows

    I am configuring with
    @C:\Android\Qt5Android>configure.bat -developer-build -platform win32-g++ -xplatform android-g++ -android-ndk C:\Android
    android-ndk-r8e -android-sdk C:\Android\android-sdk -nomake tests -nomake examples -skip qttools -skip qtwebkit -skip qt
    serialport -skip qtwebkit-examples@

    and get the following error

    @C:/Android/android-ndk-r8e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/windows/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++ -c -Wno-p

    generator\qtablegenerator.cpp:51:33: fatal error: xkbcommon/xkbcommon.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.@

    I noticed there is a copy of XKBCommon in 3rd party but i don't think its built

    Cheers

    Using internal configuration.

    Generating Makefiles...

    Qt is now configured for building. Just run mingw32-make.
    To reconfigure, run mingw32-make confclean and configure.

    You asked in my post, so here it goes.
    What I did was basically to install virtualbox, build the library under ubuntu and then copy the result to the Mingw’s include and lib directories, that seems to have solved the issue. What appears to be the best is to install linux in your development machine compile and deploy from there.
    The last time the windows wiki page was updated -was I think a week after the release of Qt5.1.0 and since then no more updates- it was updated two days ago though the content is still the same, there were however several changes in the linux/mac page which leads me to think that buidling under linux is being given more attention than building under windows.

    And you are correct, there is a copy of xkbcommon under qtbase/src/3rdparty/ it is not built but you can still do it manually. After you configure, set qmake in your path go to 3rdparty and run qmake xkbcommon.pri then mingw32-make that will build xkbcommon and put the result (libxkbcommon.so) in qtbase lib folder.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that you need to go to qtbase/src/plugins/platforminputcontexts/compose then run qmake and append -lxkbcommon to the line LIBS in the generated makefile. Then everything should work fine.

    I apologize I didn't read you reply properly and post it in my thread.

  • Cheers, I ended up doing something similar to your second solution and that seems to have worked, I noticed a bug report on it so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

  • It was me who filed the bug, I'm glad you got it running. Cheers.
