I just built
QT/E 4.5.2 for iLiad and made it running on iLiad. It's
Qt Embedded, not just Qt.
Qt for iLiad is not a problem now, except not being able to respond to iLiad key-events. For me, I want Qt only because djvulibre and djview rely on Qt. QT/E provides more than Qt. QT/E does not need X, so theoretically, it should be more effective on iLiad. That's why I want to run QT/E on iLiad. If everything goes on, applications for Zaurus may be ported to iLiad by just re-compiling. Of course, the current contentlister and ipdf must be replaced (with what?) if X is removed from iLiad.
This is only a primitive start, and still far from working. I have lots of questions. Any advice or experience about tslib, keyboard, QT, QT/E, Zaurus should be helpful.
I built tslib downloaded from
http://tslib.berlios.de/, and use this option to do configure:
Code:
./configure -opensource -nomake tools -nomake demos -nomake docs -nomake translations -qt-freetype -qt-mouse-tslib -no-qvfb -embedded arm -qt-kbd-tty -qt-kbd-usb
The attached image shows the result running a QT/E application. It's a small example bundled in QT/E package. All bundled examples are built and put in dir "examples" in the attached QT/E lilbs package. I leave them for people to try.
People who want to try can download the attached files. "QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm.part1.rar" and "QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm.part2.rar" are QT/E libs. qtedemo.rar is the demo program which should generate a screen just as the attached image.
To install:
1. unpack QT/E libs to MMC or CF. (I put it in MMC, so there will be a dir "QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm" in /media/card)
2. cd /usr/local
3. mkdir Trolltech
4. cd Trolltech
5. ln -s /media/card/QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm (you should modify "/media/card/QtEmbedded-4.5.2-arm" to fit your path if not unpacked to /media/card.)
6. unpack qtedemo.rar to anywhere and execute it from contentlister. Wait for several ten-seconds, you will see a screen just as the attached image.
7. Then you have to reset your iLiad because touch-screen is not working.
