    12. qt-embedded-4.8.0-Accelerate_QtWebKit_animated_images.patch
  5. Create folder named "linux-sh4-ST7108-g+" in "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/mkspecs/qws"
  6. Get following files in "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/mkspecs/qws/linux-sh4-ST7108-g"
    1. https://gitorious.org/qt-platform-mkspecs/qt-platform-mkspecs/blobs/master/4.8/qws/linux-sh4-ST7108-g/qmake.conf
    2. https://gitorious.org/qt-platform-mkspecs/qt-platform-mkspecs/blobs/master/4.8/qws/linux-sh4-ST7108-g/qplatformdefs.h

Compiling Qt 4.8.0

Set the development environment variables using following commands 

 cd /path/to/STM_SDK_3.5/
 source /path/to/STM_SDK_3.5/mysetenv.sh HDK7108_7108_LINUX

Configure, build and install Qt 4.8.0 as 

 $ /path/to/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/configure -opensource -confirm-license  -verbose -release -shared -no-rpath -system-zlib -system-libjpeg -system-libpng  -qt3support -qt-sql-sqlite -xmlpatterns -exceptions -declarative -script -scripttools  -webkit -no-javascript-jit -qt-gfx-linuxfb -qt-gfx-transformed -qt-gfx-vnc -qt-gfx-multiscreen  -qt-kbd-linuxinput -qt-mouse-linuxinput -make libs -make tools -make examples -make demos  -make docs -make translations -platform qws/linux-x86-g''+  —prefix=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0-qws/  -xplatform qws/linux-sh4-ST7108-g++ -embedded sh4 -little-endian -opengl es2  -plugin-gfx-eglnullws -qt-gfx-directfb -no-dbus
 $ make
 $ make install

After the build succeeds set following environment variables before building any Qt Apps,

  1. QTDIR=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0-qws/
  2. PATH=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0-qws/bin/

Qt 5.0 EGLFS/QPA

Only QtBase module is tested.

Compiling Qt 5.0

One need to pass following "device-option"s

  1. CROSS_COMPILE=<STLinux-2.4 installation path>/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/bin/sh4-linux-

Configure, build and install Qt 5.0 as 

 $ configure —prefix=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-gitorious-opensource-src-5.0 -release -opensource -confirm-license -shared -verbose  -device linux-sh4-stmicro-ST7108-g++  -sysroot <STLinux-2.4 installation path>/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/target  -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=<STLinux-2.4 installation path>/STLinux-2.4/devkit/sh4/bin/sh4-linux-
 $ make module-qtbase
 $ make module-qtbase-install_subtargets

After the build succeeds set following environment variables before building any Qt Apps,

  1. QTDIR=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-gitorious-opensource-src-5.0/
  2. PATH=/path/to/installation/directory/qt-gitorious-opensource-src-5.0/bin/

Before executing any Qt applications on target copy "/path/to/installation/directory/qt-gitorious-opensource-src-5.0" from host on target at "/path/to/installation/directory/qt-gitorious-opensource-src-5.0" on target file system
