porting Qt4.8 of ARM version

tslib porting

Compile tslib library

1 unzip tslib

unzip tslib-master

2 Into the tslib directory, specify the cross-compile tools
export CC=/home/myzr/6ul-tools/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.9.23

3 generate the configuration file

./autogen.sh
4 configure

./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/usr/local/tslib
5 compile

make
6 install

sudo make install 
Tslib directory will be generated in / usr / local when the installation is completed.

7  Get into the cross-compiler tools library directory, copy the compiled tslib library to cross-compile tools library directory

cp /usr/local/tslib/lib/libts* ./ -a

porting Qt

Compile tslib library

1 unzip Qt source code

tar xvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5
2 Get into Qt source code directory

vim mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++/qmake.conf
3 revise cross-compile tools

　　＃ modifications to g++.conf
　　QMAKE_CC = /home/myzr/6ul-tools/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.9.2 -lts
　　QMAKE_CXX = /home/myzr/6ul-tools/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -lts
　　QMAKE_LINK = /home/myzr/6ul-tools/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -lts
　　QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB = /home/myzr/6ul-tools/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -lts

　　＃ modifications to linux.conf
　　QMAKE_AR = /home/myzr/6ul-tools/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar cqs
　　QMAKE_OBJCOPY = /home/myzr/6ul-tools/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-objcopy

　　保存退出(Save & Esc)

4 vim mkspecs/common/linux.conf

在QMAKE_LIBS_THREAD = -lpthread 后面添加(Added later) -lts ：
QMAKE_LIBS_THREAD = -lpthread -lts
保存退出(Save & Esc)
5 configure

./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -little-endian -host-little-endian -no-opengl -no-openssl -nomake examples -nomake docs 
6 compile

make
configure needs about 1-2 hours
7 install

sudo make install
Trolltech will be generated in / usr / local directory when the installation is completed.

compile tslib plugin

1 in Qt source code directory

cd src/plugins/generic/tslib/
2 Copy the tslib header file to the current directory cp /usr/local/tslib/include/tslib.h ./

3 compile

make
4 install

sudo make install
libqtslibplugin.so will be generated in /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.5-arm/plugins/generic/ local directory when the installation is completed.

Development board environment building

copy library

1 Copy Trolltech directory in /usr/local to /usr/local directory in development board

2 Copy tslib directory in /usr/local to /usr/local directory in development board

set environment variables

1 vi /etc/profile

add：
export TSLIB_ROOT=/usr/local/tslib
export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=$TSLIB_ROOT/etc/ts.conf
export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=$TSLIB_ROOT/lib/ts
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0

export LD_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.5-arm/lib
export QT_QWS_FONTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.5-arm/lib/fonts
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=tslib:/dev/input/event1
保存退出(Save & Esc)
Now, the Qt operating environment of development board has been set up.

Qt application compilation

set up Qtcreator environment

1 Download Qt installation package from Qt’s website)： http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.5/5.5.0/

qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.5.0.run 是linux下32位的(32 bit)；
qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.5.0-2.run 是linux 下64位的(64 bit)。
(download as needed)
2 Put the installation package into linux after downloading, double-click with the mouse to run, will pop-up installation interface, install it according to your needs.

3 You will get a Qt Creator (Community) after the installation is completed , may not be visible on the desktop, you can search for "Qt" in linux and open it; you can also find qtcreator in the Qt installation directory under Tools / QtCreator / bin / , then open it and run it.

　　To find “Build & Run" in menu Tools -> Options

Add "Compilers", "add" add cross compiler tools, select the front compiler Qt source cross compiler tools

Add "Qt Versions", "add" add qmake, select the front compiled qmake (/ usr / local / bin / qmake).
