<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>To set up the development environment for Qt for INTEGRITY, you need to build Qt from the sources for the i.MX6 Quad board. Before building Qt, create a shell script that will run the exports for your environment.</p>
<a name="creating-script-for-running-exports"></a>
<h2 id="creating-script-for-running-exports">Creating Script for Running Exports</h2>
<p>Create a new shell script <i>setEnvironment.sh</i>, and save it under your home folder. Add the following export commands to the script:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/ghs/comp_201654
export INTEGRITY_DIR=/usr/ghs/int1144
export INTEGRITY_BSP=platform-cortex-a9
export GL_INC_DIR=/usr/ghs/int1144/INTEGRITY-include/Vivante/sdk/inc
export GL_LIB_DIR=/usr/ghs/int1144/libs/Vivante
</pre>
<p>These exports assume you have used the default installation directories while installing MULTI IDE and INTEGRITY (see <a href="integrity-installing-dependencies.html">Installing Platform Dependencies</a>). If you have not used the default directories, you need to adjust the exported paths accordingly.</p>
<p>To initialize your build environment, run the following command in a terminal:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">
source ~/setEnvironment.sh
</pre>
<p><b>Note: </b>You need to run this command in your terminal every time you build Qt, or use the <code>qmake</code> build system.</p><a name="getting-qt-source-code"></a>
<h2 id="getting-qt-source-code">Getting Qt Source Code</h2>
<p>You can download the Qt source code via your <a href="https://login.qt.io/login">Qt Account</a>.</p>
<p>You can also get the Qt sources via the Git version control system. Qt Wiki has instructions for getting Qt sources via Git, see <a href="https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#Getting_the_source_code">https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#Getting_the_source_code</a>. You find the step by step instructions also from <a href="integrity-building-qt-for-imx6quad-board.html#getting-qt-sources-via-git">Getting Qt Sources via Git</a>.</p>
<a name="getting-qt-sources-via-git"></a>
<h3 >Getting Qt Sources via Git</h3>
<p>Clone the top-level Qt 5 repository by running the following command in a terminal:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">
git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
</pre>
<p><b>Note: </b>If you are behind a firewall and want to use the HTTPS protocol, you can clone the top-level Qt 5 repository with the following command:</p><pre class="cpp plain">
git clone https://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
</pre>
<p>Check out the target branch and the Qt sources with the following commands:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">
cd qt5
git checkout <Qt version>
perl init-repository
</pre>
<p>For example, the <code>git checkout</code> command for Qt 5.9.0 is <code>git checkout 5.9.0</code>.</p>
<p>The init-repository script initializes the Qt 5 repository and clones various Qt 5 sub-modules (see <a href="https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#Getting_the_submodule_source_code">https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#Getting_the_submodule_source_code</a>). Qt modules supported by Qt for INTEGRITY are listed in <a href="platform-notes-integrity.html#supported-qt-modules">Supported Qt Modules</a>.</p>
<a name="configuring-qt"></a>
<h2 id="configuring-qt">Configuring Qt</h2>
<p>Configure Qt for the i.MX6 Quad board with the following command:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">
cd <Qt installation directory>
./configure -developer-build -xplatform integrity-armv7-imx6 -confirm-license
-opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-dbus -silent -opengl es2 -static
</pre>
<p><b>Note: </b>INTEGRITY supports only static Qt builds.</p><a name="building-qt"></a>
<h2 id="building-qt">Building Qt</h2>
<p>Build Qt with the <code>make</code> command in the terminal. You can run <code>make</code> with as many cores on your host machine as you desire. In our example we use six cores:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">
make -j6
</pre>
<a name="installing-qt"></a>
<h2 id="installing-qt">Installing Qt</h2>
<p>If you have not used the configure options <code>-developer-build</code> or <code>-prefix $PWD/qtbase</code> in <a href="integrity-building-qt-for-imx6quad-board.html#configuring-qt">Configuring Qt</a>, run the following command in a terminal:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">
cd <Qt installation directory>
make install
</pre>
<p>If you have used the configure options <code>-developer-build</code> or <code>-prefix $PWD/qtbase</code>, you can use Qt from the build directory, without running the <code>make install</code> command.</p>
<p>Qt is now configured and built for the i.MX6 Quad board.</p>
