QT for your Windows CE application

    Howto use QT for your Windows CE application


    You can compile QT for your respective NetDCU, PicoMOD or PicoCOM SDK.


    #1 download the Qt for Open Source C++ development on Windows CE from
    http://download.qt-project.org…-opensource-src-4.8.4.zip


    #2 unzip to (i.e) C:\Qt


    #3 Environment variables
    In order to build and use Qt, the PATH environment variable needs to be extended:

    Quote

    PATH - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools


    This is done by adding C:\Qt\bin to the PATH variable.
    For newer versions of Windows, PATH can be extended through "Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables" and for older versions by editing c:\autoexec.bat.


    Make sure the enviroment variables for your compiler are set. Visual Studio includes vcvars32.bat for that purpose - or simply use the "Visual Studio Command Prompt" from the Start menu.


    #4 Modify \Qt\bin\setcepaths.bat to include the respective F&S SBC SDK (located in C:\Programme\Windows CE Tools):

    Code
    1. ELSE IF "%1" EQU "wince60standard-armv4i-msvc2005" (
    2. checksdk.exe -sdk "PicoMOD3 Core (ARMV4I)" -script tmp_created_script_setup.bat 1>NUL
    3. tmp_created_script_setup.bat
    4. del tmp_created_script_setup.bat
    5. echo PicoMOD3 Core selected, environment is set up


    #5 Configure Qt
    Open the Visual Studio Command Prompt and type

    Code
    1. cd \
    2. cd C:\Qt
    3. configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -xplatform wince60standard-armv4i-msvc2005
    4. setcepaths wince60standard-armv4i-msvc2005
    5. nmake


    nmake takes a while from here...


    Compile simple Qt application


    #1 Change from Visual Studio Command Prompt to the \Qt\examples\qmake\tutorial folder
    #2 Create a hello.pro file with content:

    Code
    1. CONFIG += qt
    2. HEADERS += hello.h
    3. SOURCES += hello.cpp
    4. SOURCES += main.cpp


    #3 Create a corresponding Makefile:

    Code
    1. qmake -o Makefile hello.pro


    #4 Compile source code

    Code
    1. nmake


    Run compiled program on the F&S SBC


    # Copy the hello.exe from \Qt\examples\qmake\tutorial\release to your platforms' \FFSDISK
    # Copy the QtCore4.dll and the QtGui4.dll to the same folder as you did with the hello.exe file
    # Run the program

    Visual Studio Add-in


    #1 download and install (from qt.nokia.com): <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/visual-studio-add-in">http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/visual-studio-add-in</a><!-- m -->
    #2 Setup Qt in VS2005: see figure 1
    #3 Modify qmake.conf (\QT\mkspecs\wince60standard-armv4i-msvc2005):
    Alter CE_SDK to:

    Code
    1. CE_SDK = PicoMOD3 Core


    #4 Create a Windows CE Qt project: see figure 2
    #5 Build and run application (copy QtCore4.dll, QtGui4.dll and the EXE file to the same folder on the device)

    Hello,
    I have tried to bring up Qt4 on the NetDCU8 following the described steps above. The configure and build went fine, but when executing hello.exe it says in an Alert-Messagebox:
    "Cannot find 'hello' (or one if its components). Make sure path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available."


    I've even copied all 3 files to \Windows showing the same effect so I guess its not the path.


    Is there any dependency of QtCore4.dll or QtGui4.dll which is not provided by the kernel? I'm using NK82_CF2_070525.bin, nboot8_19.bin, EBOOT8_117.nb0.



    Thanks!

    After configuring QT two core libraries should be available at c:\QT\lib :
    QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll
    It is required that these libraries are available on the board (within a system path). So please try to copy these two libraries to your board and try to execute the hello.exe example again.



    If this does not solve the problem for you I suppose you will need to select the corresponding SDK:
    "wince60standard-armv4i-msvc2005" -> "wince50standard-armv4i-msvc2005"


    This command will list your currently installed SDKs:

    Code
    1. checksdk -list



    setcepaths.bat:

    PHP
    1. <span class="syntaxdefault"><br /></span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> ELSE IF </span><span class="syntaxstring">"%1"</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> EQU </span><span class="syntaxstring">"wince50standard-armv4i-msvc2005"</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">checksdk</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">exe </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">-</span><span class="syntaxdefault">sdk </span><span class="syntaxstring">"NetDCU8 (ARMV4I)"</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">-</span><span class="syntaxdefault">script tmp_created_script_setup</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">bat 1</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">></span><span class="syntaxdefault">NUL<br />tmp_created_script_setup</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">bat<br />del tmp_created_script_setup</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">bat<br />echo      NetDCU8 selected</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> environment is set up<br /></span>


    Configure QT:

    Code
    1. cd \
    2. cd C:\Qt
    3. configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -xplatform wince50standard-armv4i-msvc2005
    4. setcepaths wince50standard-armv4i-msvc2005
    5. nmake

    Hi.


    I have a problem building the remote test support dll QtRemote.dll. This is part of the QTestlib framework, which is a unit testing framwork provided by Qt.
    It needs Activesync libs and headers.
    <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qtestlib-manual.html#qtremote">http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qtestlib-m ... l#qtremote</a><!-- m -->


    How can I get these headers and libs for WinCE-Picomod3?


    Thanks.

    Hello.


    I have a problem with step #4

    This command will list your currently installed SDKs:

    Code
    1. checksdk -list


    This results in

    Quote


    C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2\bin>checksdk -list
    Could not find any installed SDK, aborting!


    C:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2\bin>


    Where is the problem?

    I'm getting an error while running nmake. Configure and setcepaths seems to work properly. I'm using PicoMod4 with WinCE 6.0 an VS2008 Pro.


    I've modified setcepaths.bat like this:




    This is what I've done with the error while nmake:



    How to solve this?


    Thank you.
