qt4-embedded and plugins - bitbaking qt4-embedded in a useful way

[Alessandro Sappia]

hi all,
I wrote a small qt application and I want to run it on top of a mini2440
board (7").
I was able to build a working image with qt4-embedded and my app but then
I'm
stuck to the point that my app needs sqlite and qt4-embedded don't provide
it
(almost from what I've read).

the git repository I've used is
git://repo.or.cz/openembedded/mini2440.git

the image boots and on prompt I write

qMyApp -qws

this stats qt-embedded right, and after I read that there is no sql driver
plugin
available.

from what I've found (1) classes/qt4e.bbclass says just "network" plugin and
no "sql"
plugin; (2) qt4-embedded.bb include qt4.inc that has --no-sql-sqlite in it.

now I'm stuck: change that to what I need ? I've tried to overlay the
qt4-embedded.bb
recipe, but I didn't get anything useful from it (maybe I'm doing overlaying
wrong)

Does anyone knows how to solve this ?

regards

Alessandro

By using the openembedded master branch, you will get the sqlite plugins :
qt4-embedded-plugin-sqldriver-sqlite2_4.7.0-r25.1.9_armv5te.ipk
qt4-embedded-plugin-sqldriver-sqlite_4.7.0-r25.1.9_armv5te.ipk

So maybe the right thing to do is to rebase this mini2440 tree onto master 
(and then to send patches to integrate the differences).
