Re: Manually deploying app to device

 

Well, this seems quite complicated, I think I'll stick to auto deployment for now, but thanks anyway.

I'm not entirely sure how the Ubuntu SDK does it. I think looking at the Ubuntu SDK code will help you here.
Specifically have a look at the scripts in the following folder: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team/qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu/trunk/files/head:/share/qtcreator/ubuntu/scripts/

qtc_chroot_cmake
qtc_chroot_gcc
qtc_chroot_make

I'd be interested in what you find out.

However, hard-coding the compiler in your CMake files should work as well, even though it's probably not to be recommended.

Cheers,
Niklas

Hi Niklas,
Thank you very much for your reply, but I am a little confused. As per the wiki, a toolchain specifies all the required options, so when I run cmake, I can pass an option with the toolchain file (which I can find where?), so I don't have to specify the compiler additionally. Or is it the other way around, I only need to specify the compiler location and that's it?
Thanks,Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,

I was about to reply on G+ but then I saw this.

The Ubuntu SDK uses a cross-compilition toolchain which is installed in the chroot. The gcc packages are called arm-linux-gnueabihf-* where * can for example be gcc, g++ or ld.
You can then make CMake use these tools as explained in the CMake wiki. [1] Essentially, you need to specify which compiler it should use using the CMAKE_C_COMPILER and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER flags.
Check out the link. Additionally, you can always have a look at the Ubuntu SDK sources for the exact procedure.

Cheers,
Niklas

Hi!
I am looking for a way to manually deploy apps to a device (without Qt Creator). As far as I understand, click just installs the already-built files. The problem is the C++ files need to be compiled for arm and linked with the arm versions of Qt accordingly, and I don't know how to do that. Could someone help me?
P.S. My project is a cmake one, not qmake.
