I'm not sure whether I should post this question here, but I at least it's related to Qt.. Recently I'm trying to setup the running and building environment for Qt and qwt in QNX. And I find X server is required to make this happen. So I installed some packages from pkgsrc, following are the list: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- modular-xorg-apps-1.5 Modular Xorg application meta-package modular-xorg-fonts-1.1 Modular Xorg font meta-package modular-xorg-libs-1.0nb1 Modular Xorg library meta-package modular-xorg-server-1.6.5nb9 Modular X11 server from modular X.org xf86-input-vmmouse-12.6.6nb1 Modular Xorg VMware virtual mouse driver xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0nb2 Modular Xorg mouse driver xf86-video-nv-2.1.18 Modular Xorg NVIDIA video driver xf86-video-vmware-10.16.9nb1 Modular Xorg VMware virtual video driver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I know it's a silly question but I don't know how to use this X server... Can any one tell me how to configure this thing? BTW: My QNX6.5.0 runs in VMWare. Thanks! Br Zhiying

The X server X XPhoton could be a alternative: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx/files/xphoton.4.3/ But are you awarte about this project? http://community.qnx.com/sf/projects/qt Regards --Armin http://www.steinhoff-automation.com > > So I installed some packages from pkgsrc, following are the list: > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > modular-xorg-apps-1.5 Modular Xorg application meta-package > modular-xorg-fonts-1.1 Modular Xorg font meta-package > modular-xorg-libs-1.0nb1 Modular Xorg library meta-package > modular-xorg-server-1.6.5nb9 Modular X11 server from modular X.org > > xf86-input-vmmouse-12.6.6nb1 Modular Xorg VMware virtual mouse driver > xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0nb2 Modular Xorg mouse driver > xf86-video-nv-2.1.18 Modular Xorg NVIDIA video driver > xf86-video-vmware-10.16.9nb1 Modular Xorg VMware virtual video driver > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > I know it's a silly question but I don't know how to use this X server... > Can any one tell me how to configure this thing? > > BTW: My QNX6.5.0 runs in VMWare. > > Thanks! > > Br > Zhiying > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Qt General > http://community.qnx.com/sf/go/post88566 > >
Hi Armin, thanks for your advice, but even if I can install Xphoton, still I have no idea how to use it, just like X server... Hi Dennis, the examples in qwt-6.0.1 do work without X server! So maybe it is the version of qwt I used before(qwt-5.2.1 from pkgsrc) that caused the failure to run the examples ?
>>> So maybe it is the version of qwt I used before(qwt-5.2.1 from pkgsrc) that caused the failure to run the examples ? The pkgsrc version of qwt is targeting a desktop - the newer version (6.x) is targeting "Qt embedded" - which matches the Qt package associated with this F27 project.

You have to start it in normal X server environment .... no configuration needed. qwt works with Xphoton ... --Armin > > Hi Dennis, the examples in qwt-6.0.1 do work without X server! > > So maybe it is the version of qwt I used before(qwt-5.2.1 from pkgsrc) that caused the failure to run the examples ? > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Qt General > http://community.qnx.com/sf/go/post88610 > >
Zhiying- Armin's xphoton sounds like a good suggestion, but I was able to download and run the examples WITHOUT X. In fact, since it is looking for X implies a problem - that means it is NOT looking to use the "Qt Embedded" model! From the INSTALL file... ----------------------------------- D) Qt Embedded -------- I only tested Qwt with Qt Embedded in qvfb (Virtual Framebuffer Devivce) Emulator on my Linux box. To build Qwt for the emulator was as simple as for a regular Unix build. ----------------------------------- This is the model required for QNX. Here is what I did... ON SELF-HOSTED 6.5 - using a PC - that was already setup to build and run Qt binaries, 1) Downloaded http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/qwt/qwt/6.0.1/qwt-6.0.1.zip 2) Unzipped archive to /qwt 3) From a shell... # cd /qwt/qwt-6.0.1 # qmake # make # install # cd /qwt/qwt-6.0.1/examples/dials # qmake # make 4) To run the example, telnet into the pc, and run # devi-hid -Pr mouse kbd # cd /qwt/qwt-6.0.1/examples/dials # ../.bin/dials -qws & Thats it!

Dennis, just to point out that the embedded version of Qt doesn't support the integration with Photon. --Armin > Zhiying- > > Armin's xphoton sounds like a good suggestion, but I was able to download and > run the examples WITHOUT X.
