Qt ported to PRS-505

Hi,
I've just ported the Qt toolkit to the PRS-505 -- including automatic screen updates etc.
This should make it fairly easy to run quite a few native applications (even QtWebKit works, so displaying html isn't a problem).

The source can be found in our branch of the Qt git repository:

git clone git://gitorious.org/~blankpage/qt/blankpage-patches.git qt-prs505
cd qt-prs505
git checkout eink

You'll still need a normal ARM crosscompiler (building it with crosstool is probably the easiest way to get one).

The dynamic loader on the PRS505 seems to be somewhat buggy, linking statically is recommended. Tested Qt configuration is

./configure -embedded arm -no-glib -no-script -no-stl -no-exceptions -no-xmlpatterns -no-qt3support -opensource -confirm-license -no-nis -no-iconv -no-cups -qt-freetype -qt-libpng -qt-gif -qt-libjpeg -webkit -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -static -release

Enjoy...
