[SOLVED]Cannot compile Qt 5.2 from Git for Android including mysql support


  • Hey all,

    I'm having a difficult time compiling qt5 for android with mysql support. I've downloaded the mariadb connector sources, and configured CMake for mariadb to utilize the android toolchain (compiled and installed into API-9 for ARM in this case). However, when I run configure with the following switches:

    bq. ./configure -prefix /home/rich/local/qt5android -xplatform android-g++ -nomake tests -nomake examples -android-ndk /opt/android-ndk -android-sdk /opt/android-sdk-update-manager -android-ndk-host linux-x86_64 -android-toolchain-version 4.8 -skip qttranslations -skip qtwebkit -skip qtserialport -skip qtwebkit-examples -no-warnings-are-errors -system-proxies -no-cups -plugin-sql-mysql -opensource -confirm-license -developer-build -debug -v

    I get errors about missing pthread, rt, and mysqlclient_r libraries:

    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    gmake: *** [mysql] Error 1
    MySQL (thread-unsafe) disabled.
    MySQL support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests!

    Here's the contents of my lib dir under my API 9 sysroot:

    @ls /opt/android-ndk/platforms/android-9/arch-arm/usr/lib
    crtbegin_dynamic.o libcrypto.a libGLESv2.so libmariadb.so.1 libncurses++.a libreadline.so.6 libtinfo.a
    crtbegin_so.o libc.so libhistory.a libmenu.a libncurses_g.a libssl.a libtinfo_g.a
    crtbegin_static.o libdl.so libhistory.so.6 libmenu_g.a libncurses_p.a libstdc++.a libtinfo_p.a
    crtend_android.o libEGL.so libjnigraphics.so libmenu_p.a libOpenSLES.so libstdc++.so libz.so
    crtend_so.o libform.a liblog.so libm_hard.a libpanel.a libthread_db.so pkgconfig
    engines libform_g.a libm.a libm.so libpanel_g.a libtic.a terminfo
    libandroid.so libform_p.a libmariadbclient.a libmysqlclient.a libpanel_p.a libtic_g.a
    libc.a libGLESv1_CM.so libmariadb.so libncurses.a libreadline.a libtic_p.a@

    Note that the 'libmysqlclient.a' file is actually a symlink to libmariadbclient.a (IIRC, the API is the exact same, and so all symbols should line up. This does not happen out of the box, I made the symlink manually). Why is the qt5 configure script complaining about these missing libs (especially pthread and rt)?

    Also, I was unable to figure out how to generate any "lib*client_r.{a,so}" libraries for mariadb. What can I do to manually tweak what Qt is looking for in its configure script (pthread and rt are built-in and should not be attempting to link), as it's clearly broken?

    It also bugs me that at the tail end of the compile command (where it fails for the first time), the compiler is being passed a "-L/usr/lib64/mysql", which is the host mysql library folder and not the target mysql library. Why is that being passed in at all?

  • Ok, I figured out a way to make this work. First off, the mariadb connector (version 1.0.0) is not compatible with mysql (specifically, it lacks the mysql_library_init function and one other I don't recall off the top of my head). However, the latest stable version in the bazaar sources do include the necessary functions to be compatible with mysql. These sources require openssl and iconv to be installed, so start with those installed in your API sysroot. Then:

    bq. mkdir /tmp/src
    cd /tmp/src
    bzr branch lp:mariadb-native-client
    cd maria-native-client

    The unit tests for mariadb fail with some missing pthread capabilities, so once you checkout the sources as shown above, and before executing cmake as shown below, open up unittest/libmariadb/CMakeLists.txt and comment everything out. Then do the following:

    @mkdir build && cd build
    export BR=/opt/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
    export SR=/opt/android-ndk/platforms/android-9/arch-arm
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$SR/usr/lib/pkgconfig cmake -DCMAKE_AR="$BR"ar -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="$BR"gcc -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=--sysroot=$SR -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$SR/usr -DCMAKE_LINKER="$BR"ld -DCMAKE_NM="$BR"nm -DCMAKE_OBJCOPY="$BR"objcopy -DCMAKE_OBJDUMP="$BR"objdump -DCMAKE_RANLIB="$BR"ranlib -DCMAKE_STRIP="$BR"strip -DWITH_EXTERNAL_ZLIB=ON -DICONV_INCLUDE_DIR=$SR/usr/include -DICONV_LIBRARIES=$SR/usr/lib/libiconv.a -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR=$SR/usr/include -DZLIB_LIBRARY=$SR/usr/lib/libz.so ../@

    This should configure the project successfully. However, the android build tools don't have a clue what 'ushort' is, and it is used throughout the project. So... open up ../include/my_global.h and insert the following inside the #define _global_h block:

    @#ifndef ushort
    #define ushort uint16
    #endif@

    This should replace every instance of 'ushort' with 'uint16' if (and only if) the compiler doesn't know what ushort is.

    Now, to compile mysql support in Qt, you need to configure Qt for android as usual, but make sure you don't enable the qt-sql-mysql or plugin-sql-mysql flags for configure (these will fail no matter what you do). Now, export qt=PATH_TO_QT_SOURCE_TREE and do the following:

    @cd $qt/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/mysql
    ../../../../bin/qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=$SR/usr/include/mariadb" "LIBS+=$SR/usr/lib/mariadb/libmariadbclient.a $SR/usr/lib/libssl.a $SR/usr/lib/libcrypto.a $SR/usr/lib/libiconv.a" "LIBPATH+=$SR/usr/lib/mariadb" -o Makefile mysql.pro
    make install@

    ... and that's it. Now you have a qmysql plugin utilizing the mariadb C connector for android.

  • Ok, I figured I'd be nice and explain how to compile openssl. First, grab the sources from the openssl site. I used version 1.0.1e. Unpack, then execute the following:

    @RANLIB="$BR"ranlib CC="$BR"gcc ./Configure android-armv7 --prefix=$SR/usr
    ANDROID_DEV=$SR/usr make
    make install@

    ... and that's it, you now have openssl installed.

  • ... and here's how you get iconv to compile: Grab the sources, and in the source dir, do the following:

    @STRIP="$BR"strip RANLIB="$BR"ranlib OBJDUMP="$BR"objdump AR="$BR"ar CC="$BR"gcc CFLAGS=--sysroot=$SR CPP="$BR"cpp CPPFLAGS=$CFLAGS ./configure --build=x86_64 --host=arm --prefix=$SR/usr --with-sysroot=$SR && make install@

    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    Thanks for sharing your solution. You could create a wiki page with the complete solution. It might be easier for other forum users to find it.

    In between, please update the thread title to solved, so other forum user may know a solution has been found :)

  • The first error you posted:

    ../../../../bin/qmake “INCLUDEPATH+=$SR/usr/include/mariadb” “LIBS+=$SR/usr/lib/mariadb/libmariadbclient.a $SR/usr/lib/libssl.a $SR/usr/lib/libcrypto.a $SR/usr/lib/libiconv.a” “LIBPATH+=$SR/usr/lib/mariadb” -o Makefile mysql.pro && make install

    —>>bash: ../../../../bin/qmake: No such file or directory

    Implies that you did not build qt before executing those commands. You must first build qt 5.2.0 (as you have selected) with whatever options you want, minus the mysql database options. This will in turn produce the "qmake" executable that the error shows was never generated. This specific executable has all the correct parameters configured for android, which is why you need to use it rather than whatever version of Qt may be installed with your system.

  • I also just noticed this section of your post:

    “$BR“objdump -p libqsqlmysql.so | grep NEEDED

    —>> ‘libqsqlmysql.so’: No such file

    why NEEDED

    Checking the wiki, it appears someone added a bit after my initial posting (one of the nice things about wikis :)). Whoever added that, what they're saying is that you need to add a list of dependencies to the APK image, and grepping for "NEEDED" will tell you what the dependencies for the plugin are (which should be the dependencies I listed at the top, but this is a good thing to check). You also need to do this after successfully building the plugin (which is why it couldn't find it), so given your problem with building the plugin, you shouldn't be running this yet.
