Failed to Build boot2qt open source

TomsBrook

After reading this post
https://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/07/01/aligning-with-the-yocto-project/
I figured would give boot2qt a try to take advantage of Qt 5.7 features on my apalis-imx6 board. The blog post pointed me towards
another article to to build an image with boot2qt.

"To get started with meta-boot2qt, clone the repository for meta-boot2qt and follow the instructions of building your own embedded Linux image in the Qt documentation."
http://doc.qt.io/QtForDeviceCreation/qtee-custom-embedded-linux-image.html
But when I set it up and attempt to "bitbake b2qt-embedded-qt5-image" I get the following build errors:

I see that in this post
http://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/06/16/qt-5-7-released/

qt quick compiler Is yet to be released as an open source package.

So, my question is if anyone found a work around for successfully building boot2qt or am I just missing something basic?

jhiatt

I ran into this same problem... very frustrating! I think I've managed to work around it by disabling the qtcharts and qtvirtualkeyboard modules. I identified those as the problematic dependencies by running:

bitbake -g b2qt-embedded-qt5-image && grep -e '-> "qtquickcompiler' package-depends.dot

I deleted the references to those packages in this file. That got my build going again, but it hasn't finished yet so I don't know if I will have any more trouble.

HI,
I have same on fetch:

WARNING: Failed to fetch URL git://codereview.qt-project.org/tqtc-boot2qt/utils;branch=5.7;protocol=ssh;sdk-uri=5.7/Boot2Qt/sources/b2qt-utils, attempting MIRRORS if available

tqtc-boot2qt existis? protocol ssh?

thx?

TomaszK

I'm have the same problem with compilation, and much more.
Any suggestion?

jhiatt

@Newsages I also had to remove the dependencies on b2qt-appcontroller/b2qt-utils in order for my build to finish. There's a recent commit to disable the dependency on the inaccessible qtquickcompiler repo but I haven't tested to see if it fixes the problems I had before.

Newsages

Yes i to comment deps.
But is same to make b2qt-embedded-image whitout -qt5-?

and for sdk and toolchains?

Newsages

@jhiatt
In virtualkeyboard charts etc have iner qtquickcompiler.

I have build nuc , but emulator same isue... emugless etc.

jhiatt

@Newsages Sorry, I don't understand your most recent messages. Have you tried using the latest version of the meta-boot2qt repository? I just ran through a build using the 'jethro' branch (commit 2362b64) and the qtquickcompiler issues appear to have been resolved. I still had to remove the b2qt-utils and b2qt-appcontroller deps for the image build, plus b2qt-utils-dev in order to build the toolchain. I have not had a chance to verify that the image + toolchain actually work, only that they built correctly.

@TomaszK what are the errors that you see?

Newsages

@jhiatt you can build emulator in jetrho branch,? i try in dev is merge of jetrho whit your patch.
I view the commit and the condicional test of have access to qqcompiler.

jhiatt

@Newsages I've been building for Boundary Devices Sabrelite board (MACHINE=nitrogen6x). I have not tried to build for the emulator.
