QtCreator

Revision as of 22:30, 16 April 2009

Introduction

I created a project called "OpenMokoder" which should help to develop Qt4 projects for freerunner. You only need to copy your sourcecode or use the included sample project run the script and you can easy compile, debug, crosscompile, package your project with Trolltechs QtCreator. QtCreator is a very good lightweight Qt IDE with features like embedded Qt Designer, Code completion, debugging, svn, ...

Note: This tutorial is tested with SHR and FSO The installation process is based on Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)

1. install Toolchain

First of all you have to install the toolchain. If you have already done this skip this step. I will just give a summary of how to do that for copy paste the detailed information can be found at Toolchain

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ autoconf automake binutils libtool libglib2.0-dev ccache libxrender-dev intltool libmokoui2-dev libgconf2-dev mtools fakeroot alien check uboot-mkimage libqt4-dev

Unfortunately the libtool since Ubuntu(intrepid) doesnt't work with the toolchain so you have to install the one from Ubuntu(Hardy)

• deinstall libtool from intrepid/jaunty

sudo apt-get remove libtool

• dwonload libtool from hardy at http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/hardy/libtool and install it

sudo dpkg -i libtool_1.5.26-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

• build a debian package and install it

mkdir ~/sources
cd ~/sources
wget http://downloads.openmoko.org/developer/toolchains/openmoko-i686-20090323-armv4t-linux-gnueabi-toolchain-openmoko.tar.bz2
cd /
sudo tar -xjvf ~/sources/openmoko-i686-20090323-armv4t-linux-gnueabi-toolchain-openmoko.tar.bz2
cd ~/sources/
bunzip2 openmoko-i686-20090323-armv4t-linux-gnueabi-toolchain-openmoko.tar.bz2
gzip openmoko-i686-20090323-armv4t-linux-gnueabi-toolchain-openmoko.tar
fakeroot alien -d openmoko-i686-20090323-armv4t-linux-gnueabi-toolchain-openmoko.tar.gz
sudo dpkg -i openmoko-i686_20090323-2_all.deb

• Change permissions of toolchain that scripts don't need root rights. REPLACE <your-name> (in general with your yousername)

sudo chown -R <your-name>.<your-name> /usr/local/openmoko/arm

2. Configure Toolchain

• Install important packages in toolchain

sudo su
. /usr/local/openmoko/arm/bin/setup-env
opkg-target update
opkg-target install libpng12-0 libpng12-dev libgcc1 libglib-2.0-0 libgmodule-2.0-0 libgobject-2.0-0 libgthread-2.0-0 libpng-dev libpng3  libxrender-dev libxrender1 libxrandr-dev libxrandr2 libfontconfig-dev libfontconfig1 

• Add angstrom Repo and QT4 libs to toolchain

echo arch base 50 >> /usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/etc/opkg.conf
echo src/gz base http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base >> /usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/etc/opkg.conf
opkg-target update

opkg-target install libgcc1 libglib-2.0-0 libgmodule-2.0-0 libgobject-2.0-0 libgthread-2.0-0 libpng12-0 libqt3support4 libqtassistantclient4 libqtclucene4 libqtcore4 libqtdbus4 libqtdesigner4 libqtdesignercomponents4 libqtgui4 libqthelp4 libqtnetwork4 libqtscript4 libqtsql4 libqtsvg4 libqttest4 libqtxml4 libstdc++6 qt4-assistant qt4-common qt4-dbus qt4-demos qt4-designer qt4-fonts qt4-linguist qt4-pixeltool


opkg-target -force-depends install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtcore4_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtcore-dev_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtdbus4_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtdbus-dev_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtgui4_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtgui-dev_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtnetwork4_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtnetwork-dev_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtxml-dev_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libqtxml4_4.4.3-r4.1_armv4t.ipk

• If not done yet install qt sources on Host

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev

3. install QTCreator

• download binary from:

http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads/

• easy install via:

chmod +x qt-creator-linux-x86-opensource-1.0.0.bin
sudo ./qt-creator-linux-x86-opensource-1.0.0.bin

4. OpenMokoder

• OpenMokoder is just a set of folders that contain some scripts, templates and the sample project.

• Download Files

https://projects.openmoko.org/frs/?group_id=271

• Extract to a destination of your choice for example
• Make all scripts executable

chmod +x 

• If your Freerunner has another Ip than 192.168.0.202 please change it in all scripts in the scripts folder

• For the first try I would recommend to use the included sample project

• Run Script

sh ./Createproject.script
