Adding Wayland to angstrom-qt5-x11-image

Technical Support

Hi all!

I am new to Yocto and Toradex and I am trying to build Wayland on apalis and I am using one of your pre-built supported image to add this window manager alongside x11. I have tried to follow the suggested instructions on the following links.

However, I can’t seem to make any of these work on angstrom-qt5-x11-image.

I am using the repo LinuxImageV2.8.

The changes I had on the build/local.conf file are the following.

  1. Uncomment the DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = “wayland”
  2. MACHINE ?= “apalis-imx6”
  3. Add the following lines at the end:

;

ACCEPT_FSL_EULA = "1"        
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " wayland"
DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = " x11"
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove = "eglinfo-x11"
    
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " qtbase qtbase-plugins qtwayland cinematicexperience liberation-fonts"
    
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " qtquickcontrols qtquickcontrols2 qtdeclarative qtserialport pulseaudio pulseaudio-server pulseaudio-misc pulseaudio-module-dbus-protocol"

The errors I am getting are as follows:

ERROR: qtwayland-5.9.4+gitAUTOINC+83db09bd0a-r0 do_configure: Error calling /home/lai/oe-core/build/tmp-glibc/work/armv7at2hf-neon-mx6qdl-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/qtwayland/5.9.4+gitAUTOINC+83db09bd0a-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/qt5/qmake -makefile -o Makefile       /home/lai/oe-core/build/tmp-glibc/work/armv7at2hf-neon-mx6qdl-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/qtwayland/5.9.4+gitAUTOINC+83db09bd0a-r0/git/qtwayland.pro  --   -no-feature-drm-egl-server -no-feature-libhybris-egl-server -no-feature-wayland-brcm -feature-wayland-client -feature-wayland-egl -feature-wayland-server -feature-xcomposite-egl -feature-xcomposite-glx

Any input / suggestions are appreciated.

hi @jkonwat: Did you update the meta-qt5 recipes to Qt 5.10.0 and apply the patches as written by charesyc?

3

Hi Jaski,

Yes, I did switch to branch 5.10 for the meta-qt5 recipes.

Thanks,
John

Thanks for the Information. Which image did you build? Console Image?

5

Hi jaski.tx.

I have tried on angstrom-qt5-x11-image and console-tdx-image. The one I posted is from angstrom-qt5-x11-image. I would like to build it on angstrom-qt5-x11-image, but if it is simpler on the console-tdx-image, then I am open to that as well. I would really appreciate your help. I have been stuck on this for 2 weeks now.

Thanks
John

@jkonwat: We are currently looking into this issue and will come back soon to you.

Thanks! Appreciate it.

@jaski.tx Hi! Any news about this issue?

@jkonwat, we are still working on this issue. By the way, what is your application? Why do you need wayland?

10

Hi @jaski.tx ,

Thank you for the response. We are working on a quick boot up for a Qt application using the Apalis Imx6 EVK. We are currently at 12.5s boot up time using x11. We noticed that the x11 takes a bit of time to start. We need a windows manager as we will be running 2 mutually exclusive applications.

Thanks,
John

Hi @jkonwat

Can you maybe share the full bitbake log as well as the log file log.do_configure of qtwayland? Did you clean your whole tmp directory as well as sstate? Also please note that our X11 image has quite some dependencies to other X11 applications. I think you would better use another image like core-image-weston…

Regards,
Stefan

Hi!

Thanks for the suggestion and responses. We just ended up using the Boot2Qt recipe instead.
