    Okay thats sound good, maybe I need to give qt5 a second try or use also qt4 on the desktop.

    I am not a the system right now but as I have in mind starting the application with

    ./test -qpa linuxFB:/dev/fb0

    and then i got the DBUS error. Maybe my cmdline is also wrong. QT5 cross compile was not plug and play for me.

    Do you remember how you have realized inputs with this few buttons?

      The exact error messages would be useful. Just to rule out the obvious: do you have the dbus daemon running ?

      The UI was written to be very keyboard friendly and had a lot thinking about focusing so as to make sense when moving from up to down and left to right. What kind of UI will that be ?

        Okay, seems to be DBUS not running correctly:

        ./TestQTCross -platform linuxfb:fb"/dev/fb0"

        QIconvCodec::convertToUnicode: using Latin-1 for conversion, iconv_open failed
        QIconvCodec::convertFromUnicode: using Latin-1 for conversion, iconv_open failed
        process 2302: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory
        See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
        D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
        Aborted (core dumped)

        is the DBUS really needed for qt5 embedded? since it is not in 4.8?

          The DBus module is also included in the 4 series however AFAIK it should not be mandatory for the linuxfb plugin but you also have another problem with iconv_open. Are you using the same version of libraries on your target than the one used to build Qt 5 ?

            Hi,
            yes i am using the same ones.

            The configure command looks as follows:

            ./configure -release -opensource -confirm-license -arch arm -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -no-icu -no-pch -prefix /usr/local/Trolltech/qt5 -skip qtwebkit-examples -skip qtwebkit

            I have adapted the qmake.conf of the linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ to fit my cross compile toolchain.

            Do you see any issue?

                  How did you install Qt on your board ?

                    I normally just move over the files of the given configure path /usr/local/Trolltech/qt5 to the target board into the same directory.

                    I found out if I use dbus-uuidgen -ensure before calling the app it starts up without the DBUS warning but the icon warning is still there.

                    Also I cannot configure qt to work with webkit (see different post).

                    Regards

                      Did you use your device root filesystem to cross-compile build Qt 5 ? If not, you have probably used a different set of library than the one that's being used on your board

                        How can I use it?

                        I have just used the above written configure command.

                          Add -sysroot /path/to/your/mounted/device/filesytem to your configure options

                            EDIT:
                            I have updated the icu using the following Cross Tutorial
                            http://thebugfreeblog.blogspot.de/2013/05/cross-building-icu-for-applications-on.html

                            now I added the following to the configure :
                            -icu -I /opt/icuCrossFinal/include -L /opt/icuCrossFinal/lib

                            Now I got a bit further, I also needed a new linux-atomic version.

                            I keep you updated on webkit configure,

                              Now I got the qtbase and webkit compiled, but If i want to start the app via

                              I checked the dependencies on my Ubuntu 11.04 and I found that Ubuntu is unalbe to locate :
                              Unable to locate package libxcb-icccm4
                              Unable to locate package libxcb-icccm4-dev

                              I then run the configure with -no-xcb and all worked well so far.

                              But now if I start the application :

                              ./app -qpa linuxfb:fb=/dev/fb0

                              The screen is not using the full framebuffer (no fullscreen) it seems it is only using 2/3 of it an the rest is cut off.
                              With qt4 all works as expected.

                              Any idea why this happens?

                              Is xcb required for a webkit usage on linuxfb?

                                The plugin might have problem to detect the screen size

                                  Any Idea how to fix this?
                                  Also it seems qt5 is a bit slower then qt4, but I thought it should be faster.

                                    Did you try to give the screen size to the plugin ?

                                      yep, but no influence it changes only to smaller sizes but not to the larger screen size like it should.

                                        Looks like a bug, you should check on the bug report system
