Building Qt-creator
Matom:
Dear Krontech,
I am trying to build Qt 4.8.7 on an Ubuntu 16.04 OS.
But the configuration fails and I cant make && make install . The error message I get when running the qtconfig.sh script is the following:
"Creating qmake. Please wait...
make: Nothing to be done for 'first'.
You have not explicitly asked to use pkg-config and are cross-compiling.
pkg-config will not be used to automatically query cflag/lib parameters for
dependencies
The QtDBus module cannot be enabled because libdbus-1 version 0.93 was not found."
I followed the steps from the github rep. Do have any experience with this error?
I have tried google, but many different solutions come up.
Cheers,
Maja

The Qt build instructions have been going through a bit of churn lately as we've been preparing for the v0.3.1 release (which introduced the D-Bus video control API), and as we are preparing to migrate to Debian for future releases. In order for Qt to build successfully with D-Bus support, you will need to use a targetfs that includes the v0.3.1-beta update, this was due to some missing D-Bus libraries and headers that weren't present in the original Arago release.
Suggested resolutions (pick one):
* Apply the v0.3.1-beta update to your camera, power down the camera and remove the uSD card from the bottom of the camera, then copy the contents of the ROOTFS partition to your targetfs
* Download the v0.3.1-beta update package, and locate the update.tgz file from the camUpdate folder. Extract the contents of update.tgz onto your targetfs (eg: tar -C <path to targetfs> -xzf <path to update.tgz>)
After that, your targetfs should now have a bunch of header files in <path to targetfs>/usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus and <path to targetfs>/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include/dbus/

Dear Foobar,
Thank you very much for the answer. I am really keen on starting to play around with the new software, so I appreciate the help with getting Qt up and running.
I tried the second resolution but I get almost the same error message after I run the qtconfig.sh script.
You have not explicitly asked to use pkg-config and are cross-compiling.
pkg-config will not be used to automatically query cflag/lib parameters for
dependencies
The QtDBus module cannot be enabled because libdbus-1 version 0.93 was not found.
Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to /home/majtom/Work/chronos-sdk/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7/configure to see the final report.
If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue
switch (-continue) to /home/majtom/Work/chronos-sdk/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7/configure to continue.
And when I try to make from ~/Work/chronos-sdk/qt4-install/qmake I get the following error message:
make: Nothing to be done for 'first'.
I do get a bunch of dbus header files in my targetfs after extracting the update.tgz.
In <path to targetfs>/usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus I have 22 different header files and in <path to targetfs>/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include/dbus I only get one: dbus-arch-deps.h. The folder that is referred to in the end of the qtconfig.sh script ( <path to targetfs>/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/dbus-1.0/include) does not exist. Could this have something to do with it? Or something about the pkg-config?
Otherwise, is there a way to deploy the camApp V0.2.5 on a camera with FPGA version 3.6?

You can safely ignore this warning, since Qt creator is just letting us know that our target operating system is too simple to make use of the pkg-config tool, and we need to figure out the compiler and linker flags ourselves.

This issue seems a lot more serious, and suggests that the Qt configuration tool isn't able to find our libdbus-1 libraries, and that we are likely to fail when running make. I am also able to get this message from qtconfig.sh whenever the targetfs is lacking the v0.3.1 update.

If qtconfig.sh succeeded, there should be a Makefile in the qt4-build directory, and that is where you should be running "make && make install" from. The qmake subdirectory is internal to Qt and you shouldn't need to do anything from there.

Wonderful, that sounds like you have successfully applied the v0.3.1 update to your targetfs. You will probably need to run qtconfig.sh again after that to make sure that Qt is setup correctly.
The <path to targetfs>/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/dbus-1.0/include path was added to build on Debian targets, since they structure their include paths a little differently, Qt should simply ignore include paths that don't exist.

If you want build software for FPGA version 3.6, then you will just need to check out an earlier version of the chronos-cam-app repository (I would suggest creating a branch starting from the v0.3.0 release tag as v0.2.5 is relatively old and there are some known bugs). The Qt configuration and build process should be very similar, but you won't need the extra tweaks added in v0.3.1 for libdbus. You can find the Qt setup instructions for v0.3.0 here, however, once Qt has been configured for the v0.3.1 it can also build older release of the software too.
Matom:
Thank you for all the info.

I did do that, several times, but the error keeps popping up. Therefore I tried to configure the earlier Qt version following the instructions in your link, but here I get the “good old” :
The tslib functionality test failed!
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing
QMAKE_INCDIR and QMAKE_LIBDIR in
/home/majtom/Work/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7/mkspecs/qws/linux-omap2-g++.
BUT, I do have the tslib.h file in ~/Work/chronos-sdk/targetfs/usr/include directory and I did add the paths to the qmake file in ~/Work/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7/mkspecs/qws/linux-omap2-g++. The last four lines of the qmake.conf now look like this:
#defines for tslib
QMAKE_INCDIR += ~/Work/chronos-sdk/targetfs/usr/include
QMAKE_LIBDIR += ~/Work/chronos-sdk/targetfs/usr/lib
load(qt_config)
I am not completely sure about the QMAKE_LIBDIR += ~/Work/chronos-sdk/targetfs/usr/lib. Because there are actually no tslib files in this folder. They are in some of the sub-directories like opkg/info. Should I link directly to that one?
Maybe it is some kind of conflict between the tslib.h from the camera microUSB (I have camApp version 0.3.0) and the qt version?
I hope you are able to help me again.
