How to cross compile qtwebengine in embedded machine (linux arm) ?

SGaist

Did you call make install ?

Y.L Chiu

Yes, I did.

But, I did not find about the "webengine" module in my target folder.

I cross compile, and command "make", "sudo make install".

Did I lose something ?

It's log of "make install" :
user@SW10:~/FSL_LTIB_3.0.35_QT_5.4/Qt_5.4/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.0/qtwebengine$ sudo make install

@SGaist

Excuse me !

I found something.

In my qt root directory, I check the Makefile,
module-qtwebengine is exist !

The Makefile content :
........
COMPRESS = gzip -9f
DISTNAME = qt1.0.0
DISTDIR = /home/peterchiu/FSL_LTIB_3.0.35_QT_5.4/Qt_5.4/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.0/.obj/qt1.0.0
SUBTARGETS =
module-qtbase
module-qtandroidextras
module-qtmacextras
module-qtx11extras
module-qtsvg
module-qtxmlpatterns
module-qtdeclarative
module-qtquickcontrols
module-qtmultimedia
module-qtwinextras
module-qtactiveqt
module-qtlocation
module-qtsensors
module-qtconnectivity
module-qtwebsockets
module-qtwebchannel
module-qtwebkit
module-qttools
module-qtwebkit-examples
module-qtimageformats
module-qtgraphicaleffects
module-qtscript
module-qtquick1
module-qtwayland
module-qtserialport
module-qtenginio
module-qtwebengine
module-qttranslations
module-qtdoc

I don't understand, all modules is success install in my target folder.
Just only module-qtwebengine not.

if it's exist in root directory "Makefile". What can not install success ?

SGaist

Are you sure you have the libraries built in the webengine sub-folder

Y.L Chiu

@SGaist

No, there are not libraries in the webengine sub-folder.

What can I do ?

SGaist

Do you get any message if you run qmake in the qtwebengine folder ?

Y.L Chiu

@SGaist

No, I don't.

It's not show any message.

I try to use three different ways with qmake. Usually, I use type 1 to cross compile.

Y.L Chiu

It's not show any message in qtwebengone sub-folder with qmake.

But, when I into "qtwebengine/src", and qmake, it's show :

"Project WARNING: Qt WebEngine can currently only be built for Linux (GCC), Windows (MSVC 2013), OS X (XCode 5.1+) or Qt for Device Creation.
Project WARNING: QtWebEngine is not maintained for this platform/configuration and is therefore disabled."

My embedded board is Freescale imx6.
QtWebEngine isn't support this board ?
Or I need to setting something ?

SGaist

Just remembered that currently the ARM build is supported only for Boot2Qt. So it should be doable to build it but you might have to do some fiddling on the checks

Y.L Chiu

@SGaist thanks !

I use this link to modify functions.prf patch.

Then get new error :

After install libudev-dev, I continue make.
It show the other error:

SGaist

There might be some clues here

Y.L Chiu

@SGaist Thanks !
