Build Qt for Tizen Developer Device

This article seems outdated. Please feel free to update it and then remove this remark.

Overview

This article demonstrates how to build Qt 4.8.1 in Scratchbox2 ("SBS") and copy the files over to Tizen 1.0 Larkspur Ref.Device-210 (RD-210) for testing. Be aware that this does not include any source code changes, so the build might still need lots of work (and porting) for it to become fully usable.

Steps to perform

1. Install SBS: https://source.tizen.org/documentation/developer-guide/getting-started-guide/cloning-tizen-source
2. Install the Tizen SDK: https://developer.tizen.org/downloads/tizen-sdk (alternatively, get "sdb" through some other means)
3. Get the Qt sources: http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.6/
4. Unpack the sources somewhere: tar xzvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.tar.gz
5. Run "sbs -e" and then run "./configure -opensource -confirm-license" inside the extracted folder
6. Run: make
7. Run: mkdir tmp && INSTALL_ROOT=$(pwd)/tmp/ make install
8. Pack up everything: cd tmp && tar czvf ../qt_tizen.tgz *
9. Copy it to the device: sdb push ../qt_tizen.tgz /root/
10. Get a shell and extract it: sdb shell && tar xzvf /root/qt_tizen.tgz -C /

After that, you should be able to run it using /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.6/bin/qtdemo
