Hi,
I have a problem running qt application in framebuffer on ubuntu and debian distroes
Using minimalist ubuntu build from http://www.armhf.com/
sudo apt-get qt4-dev-tools
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install make
wrote minimal qt app; run qmake, make -everything seems fine
then when running ./q -qws output message is:
cannot connect to X server
What am I am missing here?
Thank you
is the X server running? is it installed?
Qws is a standalone server itself. It does not need X or any window system.
Michail can you compile and run the same source at a PC to ensure no problems in the code? In addition you can run your application with strace to see what happens inside the application.
I’ve successfully run a qt application on a rootfs Ubuntu ARM Core, but I compiled qt from sources myself
Yes, the app runs on host fine… There is nothing in it, except a single window 
I did compile the app on the host fist and had the same issue; so I decided to switch to native compile to make sure that I am not making some while compiling QT libraries.
Can you share your recipe for QT cross-compile on armhf?
Hi
Did you test some other framebuffer programs to test if framebuffering is working properly?
e.g.
#~ fbi test.bmp
Well… I used ALMOST the same thing…
Mine qmake.conf also has
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O3 -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = -O3 -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard
are those unnecessary?
fbi wasn’t installed, but I did
echo aaaaaaaaaaa > /dev/fb0 and I saw color line(s) appear on the top of the display…
You should not use your own qmake flags as qmake is capable to create configuration that 100% working
