Qt and VxWorks

[aheijde]

Hello All,

Currently I am looking into using Qt with VxWorks to use on an embedded platform (PPC).

I followed the platform notes for VxWorks on how to configure and build Qt.

@
./configure -xplatform unsupported/vxworks-simpentium-g++ -embedded vxworks -exceptions -no-gfx-linuxfb -no-mouse-linuxtp -no-mouse-pc -no-kbd-tty
@
and then make.

First tried the simpentium target so that I know it works in my environment. Only I am getting some compilation errors which I can not trace back to something. It reports an error about missing mBlkHdr and other stuff not correct.

@
Errors with Qt version 4.6.3:
Compiling file /src/gui/image/qpixmapfilter.cpp
../../include/QtGui/private/../../../src/gui/text/qfontengineglyphcache_p.h:91: error: expected ';' before '.' token

@
I am using VxWorks 6.8 on Linux (Ubuntu 10.10). And as source files qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.3.tar.gz downloaded from the ftp archive.

So my questions are:

• Did I miss something to configure?
• Does someone know on with version of Qt (or branch) this VxWorks port was done?
• Does the mBlkHdr error say something to someone?
• Are there other people who did managed to configure and build Qt for VxWorks?

Thanks for your time and help!

Best regards,
Antoine

Hi,

could be that the definition of m_data in \target\h\net\mbuf.h is causing the error width mBlkHdr

Hi,

The existing VxWorks port is not complete. We are working with Wind River to bring a greatly improved port available soon.

Hi Antoine,

As per the below link, QT 4.8.3 has the full support for VxWorks.
http://blog.qt.digia.com/2012/09/13/qt-commercial-4-8-3-released-with-official-support-for-vxworks/
But I could not find from where we can get it downloaded?

Hi Tuukka,
Can you please let me know from where I can get QT 4.8.3(for VxWorks) libraries or SDK downloaded? The QT website does not mention about the VxWorks. I would be working soon on QT with VxWorks.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks and Regards,
