Yocto Recipe for libQt5Pas
« on: January 14, 2022, 12:28:05 am »
Hi,

I have a board from Toradex which runs custom Yocto build Linux on a iMX8M-Plus processor.  (aarch64)
I use their tdx-reference-multimedia-image which has Graphics stack: Weston / Wayland + XWayland and Graphical User Interface framework: Qt5 and it runs Qt5 applications nicely.

What I want is to run Lazarus Application uses Qt5 widgetset.
First, I followed instructions here: https://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/lazarus and installed Lazarus v2.3.0 on my Win10 machine with cross compilers.
Then, I created a simple LCL Form app, add a simple button to say hello when it is pressed. Then I set the WidgetType to Qt5 and Target: Linux and CPU: aarch64. It is compiled and project1 executable created.
I copied it to the Toradex board and when I run of course I got a lot of library missing error. So far expected..

Luckily I found all required libraries as compiled under Lazarus\cross\lib\aarch64-linux folder but sure it would be too easy if all they worked :) They created a lot of incompatibilities and embedded system Linux crashed eventually.

So I decided to add each library required by Lazarus app into Toradex Yocto Image so that they can be compiled fully for my system.

Here is the list of recipes required by Lazarus App:
    libmd
    libgssglue
    zstd
    krb5
    keyutils
You can check each of them here: https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/recipes/

One thing remains pain for me which is libQt5Pas. It is not a standard recipe as others and no ready bitbake file which yocto can build, generate and integrate it into the linux image automatically.
So I made one. I took the source code of libQt5Pas from .\lazarus\lcl\interfaces\qt5\cbindings and created libqt5pas.bb file as below:
Code: Text  [Select][+][-]
  1. #
  2. # Build libQt5Pas
  3. #
  4.  
  5. SUMMARY = "libQt5Pas for Lazarus"
  6. SECTION = "libs"
  7. LICENSE = "LGPLv3"
  8. LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING.TXT;md5=5d5b6fbba1566704ccfaecd6eb49518f"
  9.  
  10. DEPENDS = "qtbase qtx11extras"
  11.  
  12. S = "${WORKDIR}"
  13.  
  14. SRC_URI += "file://Qt5Pas.pro"
  15. SRC_URI += "file://*.txt"
  16. SRC_URI += "file://*.pas"
  17. SRC_URI += "file://src/*.h"
  18. SRC_URI += "file://src/*.cpp"
  19. SRC_URI += "file://src/*.c"
  20.  
  21.  
  22. inherit qmake5

And finally when I execute bitbake libqt5pas, I get:
Quote
In file included from ../src/qsessionmanager_c.cpp:12:
../src/qsessionmanager_c.h:24:88: error: 'QSessionManager::RestartHint' has not been declared

compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.
make: *** [Makefile:41294: tmp/qguiapplication_c.o] Error 1

Any idea why it could be?

Thank you.

-------------------

More digging about Qt5 version available in the system.

I use Yocto Dunfell which has qtbase 5.14.2 recipe. Therefor whole embedded linux system has Qt5 v5.14.2.
As I understand the latest libQt5Pas codes for Qt5 v5.6 LTS. (released in 2016 and obsolete in 2019).

I believe that above compiler error is caused because of version incompatibilities between Qt v5.6 and v5.14.
Now I see two paths to go.
Do you think that I shall try to downgrade whole Qt5 version in my yocto linux from 5.14 to 5.6 or
I shall try to upgrade libQt5Pas code to support Qt5 v5.14?

Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion.

As I see qtbase adds all required except Qt5X11Extras that's why I added it.

But QSessionManager::RestartHint should be declared in namespace. I really don't know why it isn't.

There is something here: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/38197
But I didn't understand the solution.

But I didn't understand the solution.

Ok I understood the problem finally. Qt5 that I have was compiled with -no-sm flag which prevents QSessionManager class to be compiled.
I created qtbase_%.bbappend file to tailor packageconfig and all went good. Now I have libQt5Pas.so files in my image file and fully compatible.

qtbase_%.bbappend content:
Code: [Select]
PACKAGECONFIG += "sm"
libqt5pas.bb content:
Code: [Select]
#
# Build libQt5Pas
#

SUMMARY = "libQt5Pas for Lazarus"
SECTION = "libs"
LICENSE = "LGPLv3"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING.TXT;md5=5d5b6fbba1566704ccfaecd6eb49518f"

PV = "1.2.9"
PR = "r0"

inherit qmake5

DEPENDS += "qtbase qtx11extras"
RDEPENDS_${PN} += "qtwayland"

S = "${WORKDIR}"

SRC_URI += "file://Qt5Pas.pro"
SRC_URI += "file://*.txt"
SRC_URI += "file://src/*.h"
SRC_URI += "file://src/*.cpp"
SRC_URI += "file://src/*.c"

Now when I run project1 on my system, no more library missing problem. But that doesn't mean it works  %)

Here is the error that I get when I run project1:
Code: [Select]
root@verdin-imx8mp-06848948:~# ./project1

Finally it worked :)

I just needed to run it as "./project1 -platform wayland"

Error about x11 authorization protocol is about some stalled file in $HOME afair...you should check google about it

I saw some solutions on stackoverflow. But didn't try. Is there any particular reason why I should use xcb over the wayland?

Wayland is pretty unfinished yet.

Thank you I will consider that.

Once I finish my tests, I will also share final Yocto Recipe for LibQt5Pas so that all source code belong to cbindings will be pulled from gitlab and compiled automatically.
