This article may require cleanup to meet the Qt Wiki's quality standards. Reason: Merge with Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi
Please improve this article if you can. Remove the {{cleanup}} tag and add this page to Updated pages list after it's clean.

This is an update to the wiki page Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi using a Raspberry Pi 2 and a Qt source tarball on Raspbian Wheezy.

In the following, a working setup for using Qt on the linux console with EGLFS and a touchscreen is established.

Compilation took ~8 hours without overclocking the Pi 2 which can be attributed to

  • compiling the source on an external USB HDD (in contrast to the very slow SD card), and
  • making use of the Raspberry Pi 2's multicore CPU.

In addition to the configuration used in Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi, support for

  • tslib (touchscreen interface)
  • pkg-config

have been added.

Preparation

For the following steps we asume that

  • the build is done for user pi locally
  • the Qt tarball has been downloaded to ~/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1.tar.gz
  • an external USB HDD is available and can be mounted to /media/usb
  • the Qt binaries should be installed to /usr/local/qt5

Unpacking source to an external USB HDD

Using this method the tree will still be located logically in the user's home directory so that it can be moved there after compilation finished and the external USB HDD removed.

 sudo mkdir -p /media/usb
 # put proper device here instead of /dev/sdXX!
 sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/usb
 sudo mkdir /media/usb/build
 sudo chown pi /media/usb/build
 cd /media/usb/build
 tar zxvf ~/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1.tar.gz
 
 # now bind it to ~/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1
 mkdir -p ~/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1
 sudo mount --bind /media/usb/build/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1 /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1
 cd ~/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1
 ls

Increasing available RAM for concurrent compilation

Although the Raspberry Pi 2 comes with 1 GB of RAM, this still isn't enough for compiling QtWebkit with more than one concurrent compilation process. By default, raspbian maintains a 100 MB swapfile. Assuming that the external USB HDD has sufficient size, a larger swapfile will be put there. Alternatively, a swap partition could have been used.

 # disable and remove swap file
 sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
 sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall
 
 # edit /etc/dphys-swapfile to read
 #  #CONF_SWAPSIZE=100
 #  CONF_SWAPFILE=/media/usb/swap
 
 # create and enable new swap file
 sudo dphys-swapfile setup
 sudo dphys-swapfile swapon
 
# if you get:
# swapon: /media/usb/swap: read swap header failed: Invalid argument
# reboot and rerun:
#  sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/usb
#  sudo mount --bind /media/usb/build/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1 /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1
#  cd ~/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1

# check that a ~2GB swap file is active now
 cat /proc/swaps

Configure and compile Qt source code

Installing dependencies

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
 sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev libdbus-1-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev libicu-dev \

  libdrm-dev flex ruby gperf bison libts-dev
 sudo apt-get clean

In Raspbian Jessie, the package libjpeg62-dev has been removed. libjpeg62-turbo-dev can be used alternatively.

Configuring the Qt source

In contrast to the original wiki article, no manual adjustment of files seems to be necessary in order to properly build Qt on the Raspberry Pi. Not all functionality and modules were tested though, so YMMV.

./configure -v -opengl es2 -tslib -force-pkg-config -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/ \
 -opensource -confirm-license -optimized-qmake -reduce-exports -release -qt-pcre -make libs \
 -prefix /usr/local/qt5 2>&1 | tee config.out

Make sure that configuration succeeded. Look closely at the output from all errors as some features might be quietly disabled.

Compilation

Although the Raspberry Pi 2 provides four CPU cores, using all of them proved to be slightly unstable despite of the measures taken at the top of this page. Using three of them worked fine and led to a "satisfactory" compilation time (~12 hrs).

 time make -j3 2>&1 | tee make.out

Installation and Cleanup

Installation

 sudo make install

For using the installed version of Qt, it is convenient to have a setup file, e.g. ~/setup_qt.sh, which can be source'd if necessary. It should contain at least the following lines for setting up path variables:

 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/qt5/lib
 export PATH=/usr/local/qt5/bin:$PATH

Additionally, it can be convenient to set additional variables depending on the periphery devices connected to the Pi, i.e. a touchscreen:

 # hides mouse cursor
 export QT_QPA_EGLFS_HIDECURSOR=1
 # enables tslib plugin for touch screen
 export QT_QPA_GENERIC_PLUGINS=Tslib
 # disables evdev mouse input (to avoid getting duplicated input from tslib AND evdev)
 export QT_QPA_EGLFS_DISABLE_INPUT=1
 # set physical display dimensions for proper font sizes etc.
 # Qt should print a warning if this is necessary
 export QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH=154
 export QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT=86

Cleaning up

Now some of the steps from #Preparation could be reversed:

 # unbind source directory and copy source tree to SD card
 sudo unmount /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1
 rsync -av /media/usb/build/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1/ /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1
 # sudo rm -rf /media/usb/build
 
 # revert to small swap file on SD card
 sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
 sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall
 # if the last step fails, continue with the following steps
 # everything should be fine after a reboot
 # the swap file has to be deleted manually after that though
 
 # edit /etc/dphys-swapfile to read
 #  CONF_SWAPSIZE=100
 
 # create and enable new swap file
 sudo dphys-swapfile setup
 sudo dphys-swapfile swapon

Additional Remarks

Up-to-date tslib support

At the time of writing, the Raspbian package for tslib did not support all popular touchscreen controllers used with the Raspberry Pi, in particular the D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen (from lsusb). As the library is plugin based, it could be updated without recompiling Qt.

 git clone git://github.com/kergoth/tslib.git
 cd tslib
 ./autogen.sh
 ./configure
 make -j4
 sudo make install

Unfortunately, the libts-0.0-0 package from Raspbian Wheezy cannot be removed easily without breaking dependencies, so some 'hacking' has to be done:

 mkdir tslib_backup
 sudo mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libts* tslib_backup
 sudo mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ts tslib_backup
 sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libts* /usr/local/lib/ts /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
 (cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf && sudo ln -s libts-1.0.so.0 libts-0.0.so.0)

In Raspbian Jessie, the libts-0.0.0 does not seem to be required by any other package, so the previous hack can be ignored and the files installed directly to /usr and /etc:

...
./configure --prefix /usr --sysconfdir /etc
...

Now uncomment module_raw input in /etc/ts.conf and set a few environment variables:

 export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
 export TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=none
 export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/by-id/`ls /dev/input/by-id/ | grep "eGalax"`
 export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
 export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
 export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ts

The touchscreen can be calibrated using ts_calibrate and tested with ts_test. It might be useful to add those environment variables to ~/setup_qt.sh as well.

Full native build of Qt 5.5.1 (+docs) and Qt-creator 3.6.0 on a Raspberry Pi 2

After a few weeks of experimenting with configuration settings, dependencies and bugs, I came to this installation protocol. Save it as a textfile on a memorystick, so that you can read it while installing on your Raspberry Pi. The full install can be done in 28 hours. You start with Raspbian Jessie.

### FULL NATIVE BUILD OF QT 5.5.1 (WITH DOCS) AND QTCREATOR 3.6.0
### ON A RASPBERRY PI 2
###
### For this procedure you will need:
### - a Raspberry Pi 2 (ethernet connected)
### - a 8GB SDHC Card on which you start burning a fresh copy of Raspbian Jessie
### - a 32GB SDHC Card that will hold your final result
### - a vfat formatted usb memory stick, on which you put this file.
###       put the stick in your pi so that you will be able to copy lines
###       from it into the system terminal. Also, you can correct errors in
###       the procedure for your future reference.
### - an external usb harddisk drive, that will be the workhorse here: it
###       will host the swapfile and the sources and objects of the various
###       compilations - for speed.
### When you start up raspbian with these disks connected, the OS will automount
###       them, and if you choose to have the system show the mounted disks
###       on the desktop (rightclick on desktop, choose settings, third tab),
###       the system will show you the UUID by which these disks are known to
###       the system. Make a note of them in this file.
###
### THIS IS AN INSTALLATION PROTOCOL, NOT A PROGRAM. IT SHOULD NOT BE RUN AS IS.
### COPY THE COMMANDS INTO A TERMINAL WINDOW. 
### SOME COMMANDS MAY BE ENTERED AS A GROUP THROUGH A MULTI-LINE CUT-AND-PASTE, 
### BUT BEWARE THAT SOME COMMANDS WILL BREAK THIS. (E.G. APT-GET WILL)
### ALSO, BE SURE TO READ THE TEXT IN THE COMMENTS. IT CONTAINS INSTRUCTIONS.

######################### START WITH JESSIE ON A 8GB SDHC CARD ##################

### the start: 
###    in raspiconfig expand the filesystem, set your password, 
###    enable all interfaces, give 128MB to video, set timezone and keyboard.
###    I succeeded with locale en_US, but you will have to find out for 
###    yourself if the compilation also works with other locales.

raspiconfig (from the Menu) expand filesystem + reboot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
### while you're in the terminal: adjust font and fontsize to your taste

### create directories to mount our external hd and memorystick on.

sudo mkdir /media/usbhd
sudo mkdir /media/usbstick

### unmount the automounted disks, and prepare fstab: 
###    add lines for your external harddisk and
###    memorystick, You should test these settings before
###    you start and keep a copy of these lines in a textfile
###    (this textfile) on the memorystick. 

sudo umount /dev/sda1
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
sudo leafpad /etc/fstab

### now, if you later have to perform this patch again - given the same sources -, 
###     you can simply do this instead:

mv /home/pi/opt/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0/src/libs/3rdparty/botan/botan.h \
   /home/pi/opt/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0/src/libs/3rdparty/botan/botan.h.backup
mv /home/pi/opt/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0/src/libs/3rdparty/botan/botan.cpp \
   /home/pi/opt/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0/src/libs/3rdparty/botan/botan.cpp.backup
cp /media/usbstick/botan.h \
   /home/pi/opt/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0/src/libs/3rdparty/botan/botan.h
cp /media/usbstick/botan.cpp \

### now let us install qt-creator too
###
###   'make' compile time as measured:
###     real 344m16.585s (5 hours 44 minutes)
###     user 988m 9.000s (three cores x real time)
###     sys   38m50.120s

cd /home/pi/opt/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0
qmake -r 2>&1 | tee -a /home/pi/Desktop/o08_qc_qmake-r.txt
time make -j3 2>&1 | tee -a /home/pi/Desktop/o09_qc_make.txt
sudo make install -j3 2>&1 | tee -a /home/pi/Desktop/o10_qc_make_install.txt

### Create an entry for Qt-creator in the menu.
###    Choose Menu/Preferences/Main Menu Editor, and add the item Qt-creator to the
###    'Programming' menu. The command is /bin/qtcreator
###    As icon you may use the picture that you downloaded before.
###    (It's in ~/Pictures/backgrounds )

### some Makefiles are now owned by root. Have to mend this first

### first check if this is indeed the case
ls -l /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/qtwebkit/Source/WebKit/qt/examples/
ls -l /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/qtwebkit/Source/WebKit/qt/examples/platformplugin/
### if so, repair the damage
sudo chown pi /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/qtwebkit/Source/WebKit/qt/examples/Makefile 
sudo chgrp pi /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/qtwebkit/Source/WebKit/qt/examples/Makefile 
sudo chown pi /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/qtwebkit/Source/WebKit/qt/examples/platformplugin/Makefile 
sudo chgrp pi /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/qtwebkit/Source/WebKit/qt/examples/platformplugin/Makefile 

### make documentation
###    do not use the option -j3 here: these operations are too intensive on disk 
###    usage and/or memory usage.

time make docs 2>&1 | tee -a /home/pi/Desktop/o12_make_docs.txt
sudo make install_docs 2>&1 | tee -a /home/pi/Desktop/o13_make_install_docs.txt

### install the documentation for the dependencies as well (optional)

sudo apt-get install bison-doc gettext-doc krb5-doc libasound2-doc at-spi-doc \
libglib2.0-doc gstreamer0.10-doc icu-doc postgresql-doc-9.4 sqlite-doc \

### revert to small swap file on SD card

sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall
sudo cp /media/usbstick/dphys-swapfile.sdhcswap /etc/dphys-swapfile
sudo chmod 644 /etc/dphys-swapfile
sudo dphys-swapfile setup
sudo dphys-swapfile swapon

### unbind source directories and copy source trees to SDHC card

cd
sudo umount /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1
sudo umount /home/pi/opt/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0
rsync -av /media/usbhd/build/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/ /home/pi/opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1
rsync -av /media/usbhd/build/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0/ /home/pi/opt/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0

### move the logfiles to their proper place

mv /home/pi/Desktop/o??_qc_* /home/pi/opt/qtcreator
mv /home/pi/Desktop/o??_*    /home/pi/opt/qt5

### remove the sources from the external harddisk

sudo rm -rf /media/usbhd/build

### free the external disks from the filesystem

sudo umount /media/usbstick
sudo umount /media/usbhd
sudo eject /dev/sda
sudo eject /dev/sdb
sudo leafpad /etc/fstab
---------------------------------------------
#UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx /media/usbhd ext4 defaults 0 0
#UUID=xxxx-xxxx /media/usbstick vfat defaults,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 0
---------------------------------------------

### end of installation. It's time to make a backup of your 32GB SDHC card.

sudo shutdown now
