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

Y.L Chiu

Hi all :

I use qt 5.4 source code cross compile the qt lib, and install my embedded machine (linux arm).

Then it's success !

But, I have an problem !
How can I install qtwebngine in my embedded machine ?
Is it use command : "make module-webngine" ?

If you konw the answer, please tell me, thank you very much !

Hi,

You should go to the qtwebengine sub-folder then call your cross-compiled qmake there and then make.

@SGaist

Thanks！

I use the cross-compile and make command, it's success !

But, after the make command, Ican't find the module about webengine,
and then I cross compile browser in "browser folder" ( qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.0/qtwebengine/examples/webenginewidgets ),
it show "Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets".

Do you know how can I make sure the webenginewidgets module is ok ?

SGaist

Did you call make install ?

Y.L Chiu

@SGaist

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" :

@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-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.

This link is related message photo :

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."

Please use the link , see 269.jpg

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.

There might be some clues here

@SGaist Thanks !
