problems compiling qvfb
Message 1 in thread
Hi list!
I have a strange problem compiling qvfb.
I want to develop an application with qt and qtopia, as it also has to run
on an embedded system board.
I downloaded qt 4.2.2 and qtopia 4.2.2. I installed as usual
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.2.2-x86
-debug-and-release -no-qt3support -pch -qvfb
make
su
make install
But I have no qvfb - binary. I did an updatedb and locate and could not
find it in my install-directories. I only found some files in
doc-directories
I can compile my application both with qt and qtopia, but I can not use
qvfb., which makes it hard tu test applications on my developement system.
What did I do wrong?
I am running gentoo linux with kde 3.5, kernel 2.6.18 and gcc 4.1.1.
Thanks for any hints in advance!
Bye,
Andy

Hi, Andy,
Just because qvfb is an x11 application, now it's only in the qt x11
package. You can find it in qt-x11-4.2.2 package. Good luck!
Regards,
Cavendish

So let me get this straight:
I have to compile my application with qtopia and run qvfb from qt. After
that, I can start my app with -qws and it will connect to my virtual
framebuffer? Please correct me, if I am wrong.
Thanks for the hint!
Bye,
Andy

That's more or less correct, though you probably don't want to be running
your application with the -qws option unless you want it to be the server
application. You probably want to follow the instructions in this document:
http://doc.trolltech.com/qtopia4.1/running-qtopia.html#running-qtopia-on-the-desktop-machine
Take a look at these two documents for more information about running
applications and environments in QVFb:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qtopiacore-qvfb.html
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qtopiacore-running.html
There's also a dedicated mailing list for Qtopia questions:
http://lists.trolltech.com/qtopia-interest/
You might find that people's answers on that list are a little less vague
than mine. ;-)

Hi Cavendish!
I just reinstalled Qt x11 4.2.2. I configured with -qvfb, but still no
qvfb or tools-folder. I guess I have to change something during configure?
Bye,
Andy

Hi, Andy,
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qtopiacore-qvfb.html
Then compile and run the qvfb tool as a normal Qt/X11 application
(i.e. do not compile it as a Qtopia Core application):
cd path/to/Qt/tools/qvfb
make
./qvfb

Cavendish
