lacking support for embedded device apps

Open James-Hudson3010 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I am working with the project at https://github.com/jh3010-qt-questions/HelloWorld

My goal is to have linuxdeploy, with the qt plugin, create an AppImage that can be launched by a systemd service on an embedded device.

Both my host and embedded device are running Ubuntu 18.04.

First, I build the Qt Libraries myself with:

./configure -opensource -confirm-license -verbose -pkg-config -no-use-gold-linker -device linux-nuc-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/ -kms -gbm -sysroot / -system-freetype -fontconfig -skip webengine -verbose -recheck-all -make libs -prefix /usr/ -extprefix /opt/myapp-target -hostprefix /opt/myapp-host -qt-zlib -qt-libjpeg -qt-libpng -no-feature-bearermanagement -no-xcb -no-xcb-xlib -no-xkbcommon -no-xcb-xinput -no-linuxfb

I believe the relevant flags are -kms, -gbm, -prefix /usr/, -extprefix /opt/myapp-target, and -hostprefix /opt/myapp-host

If I construct my AppDir by doing:

$ mkdir build

$ cd build

$ /opt/myapp-host/bin/qmake ../HelloWorld.pro -spec linux-g++ CONFIG+=qtquickcompiler

$ make

$ DEBUG=1 QMAKE=/opt/myapp-host/bin/qmake EXTRA_QT_PLUGINS=imageformats QML_SOURCES_PATHS=/home/jamesh/HelloWorld/HelloWorld LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/myapp-target/lib linuxdeploy -e ./HelloWorld -d ../HelloWorld.desktop -i ./HelloWorld.png --appdir AppDir

I get the AppDir

$ tree AppDir/

For some reason it did not pull in the imageformats extra plugin. I am guessing it is because the qt plugin is not aware of the -target / -host split that occurs and it unaware that the plugins are stored on the -target side. I am guessing this is why I also needed to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/myapp-target/lib ... the tool could not find some libraries that were on the -target side because (I believe) it was only looking on the -host side.

Is there a better way to use the tool in this situation or is this a bug / feature that is not currently supported?

Here is the debug output from the tool:
