Qt5 with Frame buffer support

[xarxer]

Hi fellas. For the last two days I've tried to cross compile Qt5 for the RPi device with arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc toolchain to get framebuffer support, but I just can't get the toolchain to work.

Is there any chance that the packages in the repos can be compiled with framebuffer support?
Thanks!

I would suggest that you use eglfs for rendering. I'm currently working on complete tutorial for making Qt5 packages for Raspberry Pi on Arch Linux, but I still have a long way to go. The goal is to get everything that standard Qt5 packages have + eglfs support for Raspberry Pi.

You can try to follow official Beginner’s guide to cross-compile Qt5 on Raspberry Pi. It' written for Raspbian, but most of tutorial can be applied to Arch Linux ARM.

Ah, thanks a bunch for eglfs tip!

I'm not having much success with the compiler mentioned in the article, or with the ones from cross-compile-tools, or even generating my own compiler with crosstools-ng.

I will continue in my adventure of cross-compilation, but in the meantime, if anyone has successfully cross-compiled Qt5 for the Raspberry Pi, any tips are greatly appreciated!

Hi

Any news about crosscompiling ?

I really need it, i tried for two days to compile it but errors errors errors errors errors ....
with bakeqtpi script in raspbian i only needed a "./baketopi.bash" !!!!! I
I tried to modify the script but with no success ( I think something is missing/different in archarm image )

Now I'm using raspbian but it's so slow ... to boot , to download packages , to install packages ....
