BCM7425-Qt5-eglfs

Building AppLibs/RefSW for Qt

Locate document named “BroadcomReferencePlatformSetup.pdf” (Usually this will be inside a tar ball named on the lines of refsw_release_<chip-name>_<date>.tgz)
Follow the instructions in “BroadcomReferencePlatformSetup.pdf” to setup the Linux build machine
Locate document named “AppLibsInstallationBuildGuide.pdf” (Usually this will be inside a tar ball named on the lines of applibs_release_<date>.tgz)
Follow the instructions in “AppLibsInstallationBuildGuide.pdf” to build Applibs

Obtain qt-5.0.0 from git [qt.io] (follow instructions in “Getting the source code”)
Obtain 7425 specific files from qt-platform-mkspecs git [gitorious.org] (look for folder “5.0”)
Copy folder named “linux-nxs-mipsel-uclibc-g++” from 7425 specific repo to <qt-5.0.0-git>/qtbase/mkspecs
Set following environment variables in the shell before configuring/building Qt,
- BCM_APPLIBS_PATH=<path-till-Applibs-folder>/AppLibs
- BCM_NEXUS_PATH=<path-till-Applibs-folder>/nexus
- DEBUG=n
- for example,
- $$ export BCM_APPLIBS_PATH=/home/qtnokia/WorkDir/97425-P1/stb-rs_p2-al_p2dot1/AppLibs
- $$ export BCM_NEXUS_PATH=/home/qtnokia/WorkDir/97425-P1/stb-rs_p2-al_p2dot1/nexus
Apply patch “7425-eglfs.patch” from 7425 specific repo to <qt-5.0.0-git>/src
- $$ cd <qt-5.0.0-git>/src
- $$ patch -p1 < 7425nxs-eglfs.patch
Configure Qt in qtbase folder as,
- $$ configure -prefix /usr/local/qt-installs/qt5 -arch mips -qpa -xplatform linux-nxs-mipsel-uclibc-g++ \
- -depths 16,24,32 -no-largefile -opensource -verbose -system-zlib -system-libpng -system-libjpeg \
- -system-freetype -fast -opengl -confirm-license -release -make libs -no-wayland -no-xcb
After the build succeeds set following environment variables before building any opengl Qt Apps,
- - set QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-installs/qt5
- - set PATH=/usr/local/qt-installs/qt5/bin:$PATH

NOTE: Before executing any Qt applications on target copy “qt-installs/qt5” on target at usr/local on target file system
