Failed to build angstrom-qt5-x11-image recipe on Colibri-T20 with Yocto/Poky

Hi,

I followed you recommendation for building a Colibri-T20 image with Qt5 and X11 support.
I’ve used the angstrom-qt5-x11-image.bb recipe with necessary layers.

However, I get some errors such as missing recipe.
So I had to add in my local.conf:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " libpcre"

But in the final step as the sysroot gets populated, I had the following error:

Any idea ?
Is there such a pre-built image for Colibri-T20 in Toradex developer resources ?

Hi

I guess that poky does more stringent tests than angstrom as I’m able to build angstrom-qt5-x11-image with the V2.6.1 layer versions.

Unless you really need the trdx-nv-binaries-nv-gstapps which contains CLI tools for playing and recording videos I would propose to remove that package from your image.

e.g. in local.conf:
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove_append = " trdx-nv-binaries-nv-gstapps"

Otherwise you would need to fix this.

Probably one could move the creation of the /usr/lib/libpcre*.so.3 symlinks to the relevant pcre recipes.

No, we do not provide a prebuilt angstrom-qt5-x11-image, not even one built from our regular angstrom setup.

Thanks a lot Max for your feedback.

I have removed the trdx package as I don’t need at all the CLI tools.

The image creation worked fine.

I tried then to launch the Qt Application I wrote.

export DISPLAY = :0

./my_app

But it failed:

QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0

Is there something missing in the image ?

Did you start the X server?

X &
./my_app

Hi Max,

Indeed, X server was not started.
Actually, I wasn’t expecting to start it manually.

I thought that this angstrom image would behave like the images we can find in your website with lxde desktop etc.

When I launch X server and my application, I get some warnings:

That said. My app works fine afterward.
What do you suggest me to lighten the image iun order to keep the main multimedia components (gstreamer and Qt ?)

Cheers,

Karim

Hi

Have a look at the comment on top of the image recipe. This is how the unchanged image launches X and then a demo app.

What do you mean by ‘lighten the image’?

Hi Max,

Actually I wanted to know how to remove unnecessary components from the angstrom-qt5-x11 image to run Qt5 application.

Actually, I built a custom image with Yocto and Qt5 with X11 support.
I have a multimedia application that plays also audio files (mp3, m4a, wav etc). It appears that it did not work with my image and it does work with the angstrom.
I spent weeks on that subject until I realize my Qt5.5 image uses gstreamer1.0 and the angstrom uses gstreamer-0-10.
So I moidifed my Qt5.5 configuration so it uses gstreamer-0.10…and it finally works fine.

Do you already have experienced such an issue on Colibri-Tx platform ?

In addition, do you know if toradex will provided a Qt5.7 image for Tegra and X11 support ?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your precious feedback.

Cheers,

Karim

Have a look here concerning future Qt version support.

Thank you Marcel for this information.
That’s great news.
