Qt5 For Mali Binaries

Native compilation of Qt5 to use X11 mali drivers (see Binary_drivers for the drivers installation instructions):

wget http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.1/5.1.0/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0.tar.gz  tar -xzf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0.tar.gz   cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0 ./configure -release -opensource -confirm-license -no-eglfs -no-linuxfb -no-pch make make install

This will take hours to compile on Allwiner A10 device! You may want to run it overnight.

It may make sense to check the configure output before starting compilation. It may look like this (be sure that OpenGL ES 2.x is detected): Configure summary

Build type:   linux-g++ (arm, CPU features: neon) Platform notes:

NOTE: libxkbcommon 0.2.0 (or higher) not found on the system, will use the bundled version from 3rd party directory.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'gmake'. Once everything is built, you must run 'gmake install'. Qt will be installed into /usr/local/Qt-5.1.0

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from the previous build.

Now in order to test it, we can download and compile the Qt5 Cinematic Experience demo:

wget http://quitcoding.com/download/Qt5_CinematicExperience_rpi_1.0.tgz tar -xzf Qt5_CinematicExperience_rpi_1.0.tgz cd Qt5_CinematicExperience_rpi_1.0 export PATH=/usr/local/Qt-5.1.0/bin:$PATH qmake make DISPLAY=:0 ./Qt5_CinematicExperience --fullscreen

There are also many other Qt5 demos.
