Qt/TI question

[Christian Gagneraud <chgans@gna.org>]

Hi there,

This is a bot off-topic, so if you know a better mailing list for this 
kind of things, please let me know.

I'm thinking about making a request on the qt-devel mailing list, and of 
course I am willing to provide work to get this feature working.

Qt comes with a list of supported devices [1], of which are the 
beagleboard and the pandaboard. It would be nice to have as well the 
beaglebone. A simple first step would be to add a mkspecs to the 
qt-platform-mkspec project [2].

Up to know, this is all off-topic, but:
The mkspecs simply specify compiler flags (C, CPP and LD) and point to a 
cross-toolchain. [3] is the example for omap3430.
I don't know who wrote that one, but it refers to a "beagle-narc-rootfs" 
and a Code Sourcery "arm-2010q1" (I assume it is CS because of the "q1" 
part).

And that's where meta-ti/arago could step in, because it is a 
toolchain/rootfs provider for TI SoCs.

Right now, I'm trying to build arago/dylan SDK with gles support. If it 
works, then the generated SDK could be used to allow building Qt4/5 out 
of yocto via the qt-platform-mkspecs.

Once this is showed to be working, a pull request could be made to 
qt-platform-mkspecs, and start a discussion on having the beaglebone 
added to the list of supported device and add a page on qt-project wiki 
a bit like the one for the beagleboard[4].

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Chris
