Crosscompile QtMultimedia for Raspberry Pi

arsinte_andrei

after I've compiled Qt base without any problem, now I'm trying to compile QtMultimedia module. after downloaded with

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qtmultimedia.git -b <base no - any base no>

and running

~/raspi/qt5/bin/qmake -r GST_VERSION=1.0

I'm getting this

How it cannot find Alsa if in the beginning, it says that ALSA ................................... yes
very confusing and fustrating .. How can I sort it out??? What do I miss???

I want for gstreamer 1...
Many thanks

SGaist

Hi,

Did you install these libraires in the device sysroot ?

arsinte_andrei

@SGaist yes I've rsync everything after the installation...

SGaist

Just to be sure I understand you correctly: you installed them on your Pi and then rsynced the sysroot back to your computer ?

sneubert

Did you run https://github.com/riscv/riscv-poky/blob/master/scripts/sysroot-relativelinks.py on your sysroot after rsync?

arsinte_andrei

yes, I've installed them on my RPI and then rsync to my computer and then run the python script to fix the symbolic links

SGaist

Did you re-run your configure from a clean state after syncing your RPi's sysroot ?

arsinte_andrei

@SGaist yes... I've reconfigured and also I've recompiled Qtbase and tried to compile with the last version .. same results...

~/raspi/qt5/bin/qmake -r GST_VERSION=1.0

arsinte_andrei

@SGaist Also when you said to run the config.. do you mean on the Qtbase? or on Qtmultimedia? - ./config on QtMultimedia is nor working - there is no config there... and if I run the config on Qtbase.. what is the scope for it? do I have to recompile QtBase? Anyway, I've recompiled QtBase.. same results with the new qmake...

arsinte_andrei

When running only qmake -r I'm getting this:

Project MESSAGE: cmake executable not found. Not running CMake unit tests

SGaist

From the looks of it, it seems OK.

arsinte_andrei

@SGaist yes I know it seems ok.. but it does not compile... that is the problem... also When I compile it without

GST_VERSION=1.0

is passing the alsa check - but with it no...
also without it is giving

cmake executable not found. Not running CMake unit tests

which is strange again... Hmmm... what it can be??

SGaist

What if you disable ALSA support ?

The cmake warning can be ignored, it just states that the related tests won't be run.

arsinte_andrei

@SGaist but I need Alsa support! I'm using ALSA with IQaudio Pi-DigiAMP+.
What other option do you think is available?
how to disable ALSA? and how to ignore the < Not running CMake unit tests > How to disable those tests anyway?

SGaist

I don't remember the options when using qmake directly, however you can comment the alsa relate lines in qtmultimedia/src/plugins.pro.

arsinte_andrei

@SGaist yep but what alternative do I have without ALSA? will PulseAudio work without ALSA? As far as I can see Qt is supporting only ALSA and PulseAudio and nothing else...

Qt Multimedia:
  ALSA ................................... yes
  GStreamer 1.0 .......................... yes
  GStreamer 0.10 ......................... no
  Video for Linux ........................ yes
  OpenAL ................................. no
  PulseAudio ............................. yes
  Resource Policy (libresourceqt5) ....... no
  Windows Audio Services ................. no
  DirectShow ............................. no
  Windows Media Foundation ............... no

at least into my configuration

SGaist

I meant that as a test to ensure that you could build the module. So then we can concentrate on why ALSA is not found properly at compile time.

arsinte_andrei

@SGaist after googling a lot .. my conclusion is that there is some sort of problem in QtMultimedia relating to gStreamer version - a fight between old one 0.1 and new one 1.0...

"No decoder available for type 'audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, mpegaudioversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2, parsed=(boolean)true'."

this appeared on my Pi as a program error...

by the way, I've also realised that compiling QtMultimedia just with

~/raspi/qtmultimedia$ ~/raspi/qt5/bin/qmake -r

is working but when I'm trying to specify the GST version with

GST_VERSION=1.0

it can not find ALSA....
witch, to be honest, is strange for me... that means 2 things:

without gst version is compiling using gstreamer 0.1 witch acourding to this

Qt Multimedia:
  ALSA ................................... yes
  GStreamer 1.0 .......................... yes
  GStreamer 0.10 ......................... no
  Video for Linux ........................ yes
  OpenAL ................................. no
  PulseAudio ............................. yes
  Resource Policy (libresourceqt5) ....... no
  Windows Audio Services ................. no
  DirectShow ............................. no
  Windows Media Foundation ............... no

is not even available - but I can see that the compile finish without any error

is using the new GStreamer 1.0 which is also found by the configure.. but.. why is finding ALSA now? Where is ALSA??

@SGaist As you can see form configure (I think that configure is looking into sysroot if I'm not wrong) It says only 1.0..
