Installing Qt for Embedded Linux

alonsab

I am new to Qt.
I am trying to install Qt for Embedded Linux on an ARM system, base on the instruction from :
file:///qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3/doc/html/qt-embedded-install.html .
I am trying to compile into a directory /mnt/usbdrive/QtEmbedded-4.7.3 .
Using the command : ./configure -prefix /mnt/usbdrive/QtEmbedded-4.7.3 .
I get the following messages:
g++ -c -o qlibraryinfo.o -pipe -DQMAKE_OPENSOURCE_EDITION -I. -Igenerators -Igenerators/unix -Igenerators/win32 -Igeneratorsp

Basic XLib functionality test failed!
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing
QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 in /mnt/usbdrive/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3/mkspecs/linux-g++.

Its looks like the installation does not recognize the ARM processor or missing variables.

Any ideas.

Thanks,

Does this page help:

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Building_Qt_for_Embedded_Linux

You need to configure Qt to build as embedded (ie no X11 support). The above article covers building both a host build and a build for an example target device.

i tried to compile the QT with following command by following “http://forums.digi.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,6858#20693” and got similar error

./configure -confirm-license -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -prefix /usr/local/QtEmbedded-4.4.3 -hostprefix /usr/local/DigiEL-5.6/x-tools/arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabi -qt-sql-sqlite -depths 15,16 -qt-kbd-usb -qt-mouse-tslib

and i got this error

I tried the following
Try 1:

sudo apt-get build-dep qt4-qmake (installed)

Try 2:

sudo apt-get build-dep  libxext-dev

Ref:http://www.qtforum.org/article/27886/installing-qt4-problem-basic-xlib-functionality-test-failed.html

Try 3:
