Building qtopia-core-opensource-4.2.0 on a mac
Message 1 in thread
I am trying to build the qtopia-core-opensource-4.20 on my MacBook (x86) and
not having much luck. Are there special configure options that should be
used? The first error I get is in configure and it complains about the
-no-framework option that gets automatically added. It says there is no such
option. Next, after I comment out that line in the configure script, it
complains about a number of things in qglobal.cpp. Maybe it is not possible
to build qtopia-core on a Mac? I was able to download and build the Mac
version of the Qt 4.2.3 opensource code. Perhaps there is likewise a Mac
version of the Qtopia-core opensource?

Qtopia Core is a windowing system on top of the Linux framebuffer device,
plus Qt implemented for this windowing system. It is basically a Qt version
for embedded Linux, just as Qt/Mac is a Qt version for Mac.
You cannot compile it on a Mac (you might be able to cross compile), and you
cannot run Qt application that depend on a Qtopia Core runtime on a Mac
either. And it doesn't make much sense to do so, as this is what Qt/Mac
already allows you to do.

Hi,
I heavily challenge that. In fact I do most of my Embedded Linux work
on a mac. And you should know that there is QVFb which is a virtual
framebuffer which is totally independant of the LinuxFB
implementation and only requires shared memory and IPC (something
that most Unix systems provide).
And ironically we made QtEmbedded (before the marketing team renamed
it to Qtopia Core) 2 work on OSX because most of our Opie devels were
using Macs....
Just as cross-compiling makes sense, cross-development makes sense as
well.
kind regards
z.
PS: We are currently not working with Qtopia Core at all, our Qt2
patches were quite simple (mostly fixing endian issues) and should be
online. I don't expect Qtopia Core to be way different so you might
just make it work.

I should probably point out that the 'creative' part isn't the port itself,
its what I intend to do with it next. Media center style stuff.

Um, this was not meant to go to Qtopia-interest. In fact the mail I replied
all to did not have that address in its to fields.
Why KMail thought that it should add this address to the to fields is beyond
me, I didn't think to check.

Nope.
As you said, that's not the creative part.
