Building Qt for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P Board on Ubuntu▲
Having Green Hills INTEGRITY and Qualcomm development environments setup is a required before proceeding. See Installing Platform Dependencies.
Creating a set environment shell script▲
To set up the development environment for Qt for INTEGRITY, build Qt from the sources for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P board. Before building Qt for INTEGRITY, set up build environment. Here a batch script to automate that, as it needs to be done before each build.
Create a new shell script setEnvironment.sh, and save it under your home folder. Add the following export commands to the script:
export PATH=$PATH:/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/comp
export INTEGRITY_DIR=/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/integrity
export INTEGRITY_BSP=platform-sa8155
export INTEGRITY_BUILD_TARGET=chk
export QC_MULTIMEDIA_INC_DIR=/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/qc_bsp/include/amss/multimedia
export GL_INC_DIR=/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/qc_bsp/AMSS/multimedia/graphics/include/public
export GL_LIB_DIR=/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/qc_bsp/out/rel/libs/base:/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/qc_bsp/out/rel/libs/multimedia/display:/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/qc_bsp/out/rel/libs/multimedia/graphics:/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/qc_bsp/out/rel/libs/platform/:/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot/apps/ghs_apps_proc/qc_bsp/AMSS/multimedia/graphics/opengl/esx/build/integrity/prebuilt/These export paths assume you have used the /work/ghs/* installation directories while installing the MULTI IDE and INTEGRITY (see Installing Platform Dependencies). If you have not used the default directories, adjust the export paths accordingly.
To initialize your build environment, run the following command in a terminal:
source ~/setEnvironment.shRun this command in your terminal every time you build Qt, or use the qmake or CMake build systems.
Getting Qt sources▲
You can download the Qt source code from your Qt Account.
You can also get the Qt sources from the Git repo. Qt Wiki has instructions for getting Qt sources from Git, see Getting source code.
Qt sources version must be 6.2 or later.
The init-repository script initializes the Qt 6 repository and clones various Qt 6 sub-modules (see Getting the submodule source code). Qt modules supported by Qt for INTEGRITY are listed in Supported Qt Modules.
Building Qt Desktop for cross-compiling tools usage▲
The cross-compiling Qt requires a host build of Qt being available. During the build, tools such as moc, rcc, qmlcachegen, qsb, and others, are invoked from there. For more detailed information please read Cross-compiling Qt.
Run the following commands:
mkdir hostbuild
cd hostbuild/
../qt5/configure -nomake tests -nomake examples -release -prefix /work/ghs/hostbuild
cmake --build . --parallel 6
cmake --install .Creating a toolchain file for INTEGRITY▲
To cross-compile a project with CMake, one must specify a toolchain file. This CMake-language file sets the right values for the platform name, the compiler/linker used, and a whole bunch of other toolchain-specific things. For Integrity build on Ubuntu create a toolchain.cmake file with content:
set(TARGET_ROOT_PATH "/work/ghs/sa8155/es7/es7_dev_env/hlos_dev_boot")
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "Release")

QT_HOST_PATH variable introduced in Qt 6. When cross-compiling, this must be set to the install location of Qt for the host platform. It is used to locate tools to be run on the host (moc, rcc, androiddeployqt, and so on).
Building Qt for INTEGRITY▲
Build Qt by calling cmake in the terminal. You can run cmake with as many cores on your host machine as you desire. In our example we use six cores:
cmake --build . --parallel 6Installing Qt▲
If you have not used the configure option -prefix $PWD/qtbase in Configuring Qt, run the following commands in a terminal:
cd <Qt installation directory>
cmake --install .If you have used the configure option -prefix $PWD/qtbase, you can use Qt from the build directory, without running the cmake install command.
Qt is now configured and built for the sa8155 board.
