4. [SOLVED] Unresolved symbol fbGetDisplayByIndex in Qt-5.1.1 for imx

[SOLVED] Unresolved symbol fbGetDisplayByIndex in Qt-5.1.1 for imx


  • I have cross compiled Qt-5.1.1 for imx 6 and setup Qt Creator kits for both ubuntu native x86 and imx6.
    My application simply wants to display video with overlay graphics, which it does in x86 version.
    When I try to run the imx6 version on my wandboard-solo, i get

    _loaded library "/usr/local/Qt-5.1.1/plugins/platforms/libqeglfs.so"
    QLibraryPrivate::loadPlugin failed on "/usr/local/Qt-5.1.1/plugins/platforms/libqeglfs.so" : "Cannot load library /usr/local/Qt-5.1.1/plugins/platforms/libqeglfs.so: (/usr/local/Qt-5.1.1/plugins/platforms/libqeglfs.so: undefined symbol: fbGetDisplayByIndex)"
    This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "eglfs".

    Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen._

    A check of libeqlfs.so with nm indicates that fbGetDisplayByIndex is Undefined.
    A recursive search of all the files in the Qt-5.1.1 development folder reveals that the only code that references this function is in : qtbase/mkspecs/devices/linux-imx6-g++/qeglfshooks_imx6.cpp.

    I cannot find a supplier for it.
    Where might a look to resolve this missing symbol?

    thanks

    Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
    Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
    Qt will be installed into /usr/local/Qt-5.1.1

  • Further info. As per online suggestions to verify Qt install, I added the following to my configure line:
    -make libs -make examples

    Now I see the error at the linker step.
    qeglfshools_imx6.o .... undefined reference to `fbGetDisplayByIndex

    Anyone know what/where my missing libraries might be?

    thanks

  • I found that the eglsfs libraries described in Clay D. Montgomery message in
    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/wandboard/PHv-yXyhEWM
    satisfied the missing references.

    Is there Qt cross compile documentation that describes the solution to this dependency?

    thanks

  • Hey when i configure qt5.1 it was good but when i did MAKE then i got 4 errors qeglfshools_imx6.cpp for undefined reference to fbDestroywindow, fbcreatewindow , fbgetdisplaybyindex and fbgetdisplaygeometry.
    i think it is same issue like you..
    Have you solved this???
    Thank you,
