Building AppLibs/RefSW for Qt

  1. Locate document named "BroadcomReferencePlatformSetup.pdf&quot; (Usually this will be inside a tar ball named on the lines of refsw_release_<chip-name&gt;<date&gt;.tgz)
    # Follow the instructions in "BroadcomReferencePlatformSetup.pdf&quot; to setup the Linux build machine
    # Locate document named "AppLibsInstallationBuildGuide.pdf&quot; (Usually this will be inside a tar ball named on the lines of applibs_release
    <date&gt;.tgz)
  2. Follow the instructions in "AppLibsInstallationBuildGuide.pdf&quot; to build Applibs

Building Qt 5

  1. Obtain qt-5.0.0 from "git&quot;:http://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git (follow instructions in "Getting the source code&quot;)
  2. Obtain 7425 specific files from "qt-platform-mkspecs git&quot;:http://gitorious.org/qt-platform-mkspecs (look for folder "5.0&quot;)
  3. Copy folder named "linux-nxs-mipsel-uclibc-g+" from 7425 specific repo to <qt-5.0.0-git&gt;/qtbase/mkspecs
    # Set following environment variables in the shell before configuring/building Qt,
    BCM_APPLIBS_PATH=&lt;path-till-Applibs-folder&amp;gt;/AppLibs<br />BCM_NEXUS_PATH=&lt;path-till-Applibs-folder&amp;gt;/nexus<br />DEBUG=n
    

    for example,
    $$ export BCM_APPLIBS_PATH=/home/qtnokia/WorkDir/97425-P1/stb-rs_p2-al_p2dot1/AppLibs<br />$$ export BCM_NEXUS_PATH=/home/qtnokia/WorkDir/97425-P1/stb-rs_p2-al_p2dot1/nexus
    

    # Apply patch "7425-eglfs.patch&quot; from 7425 specific repo to <qt-5.0.0-git&gt;/src
    $$ cd &lt;qt-5.0.0-git&amp;gt;/src<br />$$ patch -p1 &lt; 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 <s>no-xcb
    

    # After the build succeeds set following environment variables before building any opengl Qt Apps,
    </s> set QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-installs/qt5<br /> - set PATH=/usr/local/qt-installs/qt5/bin:$PATH
    

<b&gt;NOTE:</b&gt; Before executing any Qt applications on target copy "qt-installs/qt5&quot; on target at usr/local on target file system
