This post will tell you how to compile Qt for any ARM based processor, S3C2440 in my case.
You need to download the latest source code from Nokia website. Click here to download version 4.7.1. Ignore the below task if you already have download the source.
Untar the source to a local directory (example: /home/user/USER/)
Specify which cross-compiler to use by setting the PATH environment variable.
You have to modify the mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/qmake.conf file for toolchain related paths that Qt will use for compilation. Modify the below entries according to your toolchain.
Now your code base is ready for compilation. Start the compilation by following command.
To run your ARM compiled applications we have to set following environment variables on the NFS root of the board.
The Qt library binary (and fonts subdir) should be placed on a user defined directory of the board and then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to this directory.
Qt binary application must be run with -qws command line argument to inform Qt that we are working on a Linux embedded system.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial, have you test a example program, because if i run a simple test program mini2440 say:
Segmantation fault
Thanks
Luca
Try configuring QT with the option: "-no-freetype". It should work.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this tutorial. I need help with Touchscreen.
I compiled Qt and tslib successfully.
Typing "cat /dev/input/ts" works as mentioned (weird chars when touched).
ts_calibrate and ts_test work fine too (touch screen is working fine).
If I use "export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=tslib:/dev/input/ts" it shows "Segmentation fault". When I replace this line by just "export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=" (without :") my "Hello World" app shows perfectly, but no touch screen.
Compiling Qt with "-no-freetype" generates the same result: "Segmentation fault".
I can't find a way to work touch with my app.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.
Afonso.
