Qt on Coldfire processor running Linux Kernel 2.6.10
Message 1 in thread
I just downloaded an evaluation copy of Qt for Linux. I was able to
configure and build it on my Fedora 8 box but I want to use this on
embedded Linux (Kernel 2.6.10) running on a Coldfire (MCF5484) processor
with nano-X (microwindows). When I gave the configure script my build
settings (compiler, headers, libraries, etc.) it barfs. Can you give me
any direction on building for a specific embedded environment?
My project involves a local 1/4 VGA GUI and a remote web GUI. I will also
need to be able to render a screen from an external device that is
presented as part of my local GUI (a remotely generated screen, with
controls, that's presented on my local GUI). Can Qt do this?
Appreciate any help or insight I can get.

What does "Qt for Linux" mean? Qt/X11 or Qtopia Core?
How do you "give the configure script build settings"? How does it barf?
My guess is that "Nano-X" lacks features needed by Qt/X11.

If jkimble's board has only a framebuffer support, it can have nano-x lib.
It doesn't matter if it has nano-x lib or sdl-lib or whatever, if you plan
to use Qt/X11 you *need* libX11.
Otherwise you can switch to Qt-Embedded (or Qtopia Core, as it is called
today) and use the framebuffer support from kernel (/dev/fb0).
That's all. (and don't forget to launch your qt application with the -qws switch)
