How to use the new build system =============================== There's a great document at: http://www.uv-ac.de/opiedev/opiedev.html and the API is at: http://handhelds.org/~zecke/apidocs/index.html You will need qvfb, designer, and uic from a qt-x11-2.3.2 package. That means you must download and configure/make it. wget ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz Qt embedded is available at: ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-embedded-2.3.7.tar.bz2 or in that directory. Set QTDIR to point to your qt/embedded source tree, such as: export QTDIR=/opt/qt-2.3.7 Then you need to do export OPIEDIR=`pwd` or export OPIEDIR=~/projects/sources/opie or where ever you placed Opie sources. and then do: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$OPIEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH You will want to apply the patches in the $OPIEDIR/qt directory to qt-embedded-2.3.7 qte234-for-opie091-gfxraster.patch qte234-for-opie091-listview.patch qte234-for-opie091-override.patch qte234-for-opie091-qtoolbutton.patch qte234-for-opie091-setpalette.patch qte234-for-opie091-sigsegv.patch qte234-for-opie091-style.patch qte234-for-opie091-unpolish.patch *NOTE* You can skip the qte234-for-opie091-simpad.patch patch, unless you are compiling for simpad. cd $QTDIR; cat $OPIEDIR/qt/qte234*.patch | patch -p0 Now Qt Embedded is patched and ready to go! You are ready to configure and make qt embedded. I run this script to configure qte ------------------- start script #!/bin/bash ## this file is for easy configuring of qt embedded for Qtopia development, on x86 configure_make () { if configure_qt; then make; else exit -1 fi } configure_qt () { cd $QTDIR; echo 'yes' | ./configure -qconfig qpe -depths 4,16,24,32 -system-jpeg -system-libpng -system-zlib -no-xft -qvfb; } # default configuration of Qt embedded for Opie echo "Configuring Qt Embedded for Opie development...."; if [ ! -e $QTDIR/src/tools/qconfig-qpe.h ]; then cp $OPIEDIR/qt/qconfig-qpe.h $QTDIR/src/tools fi configure_make; ------------------- end script Once you have these compiled, be sure to set the PATH to ensure your (cross)compiler is available. Then do the following in the opie source tree: make clean make menuconfig Now you can move through the menu and select or deselect anything.. Exit and save the configuration and enter "make" to create opie... Have fun with it ! If you get into trouble there are other make's make clean-configs is a useful one. Ciao, Stefan and ljp
