Install Qt 5.2 for QNX 6.6   
Hello,

I downloaded the host part of Qt 5.2 for QNX 6.6 so that I'm abble to configure Qt Creator for QNX 6.6 on my Windows 
computer.
But where are the corresponding QT5.2 for QNX 6.6 target files ?

For Qt 5.1 with QNX 6.5 there was such a package ....should we wait for it ?

Regards,
Paul

It would be good to know where you downloaded it from. Generally, a
standard Qt cross-complile build contains both parts.

I downloaded it from the Qt project here on foundry27.
The file were removed a few hours a go but it was windows and linux host files.

Most probably, this was the reason why they have been removed… It is hard
to help if it is not possible to see it.

The files were posted early by mistake. Sorry for the confusion this has caused.

Ok, no problem.

Were these files faulty ?
Should we expect another package ?

Re: RE: Install Qt 5.2 for QNX 6.6   
On the new comments posted : "An additional source patch is required for customers that want re-compile the Qt source 
using the QNX SDP" ... do you mean the QNX Apps and Media or another thing ?

Do you have the right parameters to put in the configure command in order to properly build Qt for QNX on a linux host ?

(Qnx SDP and QNX SDK Apps and Media have to be installed on this linux hosts, correct ?)

Re: RE: Install Qt 5.2 for QNX 6.6   
Those patches apply to 5.2.x. AFAIK they are not critical for most app on ARM. They are already integrated into 5.3 
which is on due to be release upstream around the end of April.

We are currently working to get this done along other works for Qt on QNX incl a new build structure and a separate 
installer. We also will post other infos internally and in the Qt Project wiki about Qt on QNX. Feel free to contact me 
if you have a urgent need.

Qt shall work with bare SDP, and the Apps and Media package is not required for the most of the Qt functionality. The 
largest difference would be QtMultimedia which needs mmrenderer from Apps and Media.

The standard minimal options for the configure call are 

-prefix <folder_name_where_qt_should_be_installed> -qt-sql-sqlite -system-sqlite -system-proxies  -iconv  -largefile  -
shared -qpa qnx -no-pch -no-rpath  -opengl es2

you can shorten the build time by excluding a few less relevant parts with " -nomake examples  -nomake tests  -nomake 
tools"

As far as you mentioned, Qt shall work with bare SDP. As I understand, bare SDP means downloaded SDP from QNX download 
page without any additional component like "QNX SDK for Apps and Media 1.0". And I've heard that from my local QNX 
reseller also. But Qt project page about QNX platform on below is saying that Qt requires "QNX SDK for Apps and Media 1.
0".

http://qt-project.org/wiki/QNX_Platform

Do I need to buy "QNX SDK for Apps and Media 1.0" licenses or not?

Re: RE: Install Qt 5.2 for QNX 6.6   
AFAIK, Apps and Media is necessary for the use of Qt Modules than need the Apps and Media API... such as QtMultimedia

In my build I try without installing Apps&Media but adding a -skip QtMultimedia to the configure string...so far it's 
working great.

I'm sure you'll have a more thorough answer from the Qnx Team.

Really ?  AFAIK  the "Qnx Team" doesn't support Qt. Isn't it ?

Re: RE: Install Qt 5.2 for QNX 6.6   
We are working to get a set of pre-build Qt installers along with an update to 5.3. All this is not finished yet! This 
includes the page http://qt-project.org/wiki/QNX_Platform and other (new) pages we are currently writing. Those pages 
will cover Qt5 on QNX in general and shall be valid for those who use 5.2.x Much more information is to come in the next
 days/weeks! Stay tuned!

Wrt Apps&Media. Despite media support, it also add fontconfig which is the default choice for Qt since a long while. Qt 
can work without fontconfig as well, but this use case was not in scope in Qt generally since a while. Qt without 
fontconfig brings several limitations, most important one is that an app cannot load/use own fonts and the system 
integrator needs to take care that right fonts are compiled in to QPF and provided in the target image on the right 
place. This is not fun and pretty error-prone. BTW, the latter was the main reason to make fontconfig the default choice
 for Qt. We need to retest a few things and post some updates around this. Stay tuned!
