p.s: belive me, this deploying procedure is a real HELL 

No, I do not believe, sorry.

Do not overcomplicate simple things. QT Library github repo has very nice script called configure-qsk. So,

./configure-qsk arm v7le
make
make install

and you have QT libraries ready to be deployed to Playbook.

./configure-qsk x86
make
make install

and you have QT libraries ready to be deployed to Simulator.

That is it.

there is no configure-qsk in the qt-qnx source folder... maybe a typo?

or maybe it was: ./configure -qsk arm v71e

and: ./configure -qsk x86 ?

Thanks for your help.

It's in your Qt folder (root), in the folder you get when you clone the repo from github https://github.com/blackberry/Qt

Oh sorry, I was using this file https://github.com/downloads/blackberry/Qt/qt-qnx-preview.tar.gz

not the source code from the git repository. I'll try with latest code from git, thanks.

@achipa: using your configuration options I'm getting this error http://pastebin.com/5zCxdLhj

any idea how to fix it?

[BGmot]

ok, you've missed the first step from http://hecgeek.blogspot.com/2011/10/qt-for-blackberry-playbook.html

source /opt/RIM/bbndk/bbndk-env.sh

[andreagrandi]

I didn't miss that command (by the way my installation is in /opt/bbndk so I did: source /opt/bbndk/bbndk-env.sh )

so the problem must be another one. I'm now trying to compile the sources taken directly form the Git repository and I'm using the configure options you told me to use: ./configure-qsk x86

It will take a bit before completing, I'll update you with the result.

Thanks for now.

I thought that you missed it because according to your logs configure uses g++ but should be using qcc from NDK installation folder. I would start from scratch. Remove everything, clone the repo from github, source bla-bla, ./configure-qsk etc...

I've followed these instructions to be able to build the x86 target and I finally was able to build it http://hecgeek.blogspot.com/2011/10/qt-for-blackberry-playbook.html

then I tried again with qt-creator-qnx to create another application, setting all the project configuration.

The building phase is ok: the proper x86 target is used. The deploy is fine too.

But.... when I run the application on the device I still get an error ("Error 9" this time....).

I've a couple of questions:

1) in these instructions it says to copy the qt4 file in the deploy directory ecc... of course I did it with the x86 one, not with the armv7 one http://cloud.github.com/downloads/blackberry/Qt/qnx-HelloWorldusingCLItools-070212-0732-12.pdf do I have to do this even if I use QtCreator?

2) why the example here is very different from the previous one http://hecgeek.blogspot.com/2011/10/qt-for-blackberry-playbook.html ? the main.cpp is different, the xml file too ecc.... which one is the proper way to create a QNX-Qt application?

Thanks again for your help.

The problem is you are mixing different things... -(

Try to start with something simple - follow http://hecgeek.blogspot.com/2011/10/qt-for-blackberry-playbook.html from the beginning to the end. Success? Go ahead - start your experiments with qt-creator-qnx (I never used it by the way).

The more you do the more you understand the process and can avoid obvious errors (like platforms mismatch).

PS: time to write more turorials...
