h2. Building AppLibs/RefSW for Qt

1. Locate document named "BroadcomReferencePlatformSetup.pdf&quot; (Usually this will be inside a tar ball named on the lines of refsw_release_<chip-name&gt;<date&gt;.tgz)
   # Follow the instructions in "BroadcomReferencePlatformSetup.pdf&quot; to setup the Linux build machine
   # Locate document named "AppLibsInstallationBuildGuide.pdf&quot; (Usually this will be inside a tar ball named on the lines of applibs_release<date&gt;.tgz)
2. Follow the instructions in "AppLibsInstallationBuildGuide.pdf&quot; to build Applibs

Qt 4.8 eglnullws / QWS

This details steps to build Qt with Qt's OpenGL graphics driver.<br&gt;
This OpenGL graphics driver supports execution of Single Qt app that uses QGLWidget as full-screen (examples/opengl/hello_gles2)
# Obtain qt-4.8.0 release from "Qt Download site&quot;:http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0.tar.gz and extract it in a working folder
# Obtain 7425 specific files from "qt-platform-mkspecs git&quot;:http://gitorious.org/qt-platform-mkspecs (look for folder "4.8&quot;)
# Copy folder named "linux-7425nxs-mipsel-uclibc-g+" to <qt-4.8.0-sources&gt;/mkspecs/qws
# Set following environment variables in the shell before configuring/building Qt,
' BCM_APPLIBS_PATH=<path-till-Applibs-folder&gt;/AppLibs
' BCM_NEXUS_PATH=<path-till-Applibs-folder&gt;/nexus
' DEBUG=n
' for example,
' $ export BCM_APPLIBS_PATH=/home/qtnokia/WorkDir/97425-P1/stb-rs_p2-al_p2dot1/AppLibs

h2. Building Qt apps
# After the Qt build succeeds, set following environment variables on host before building any fullscreen OpenGL Qt App for the above build,
' QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-installs/qt480ga-nxs-qws-rel
' PATH=/usr/local/qt-installs/qt480ga-nxs-qws-rel/bin:$PATH

h2. Running Qt apps on target
# Ensure that folder "qt-installs/qt480ga-nxs-qws-rel&quot; is copied on target file system at "/usr/local&quot;
' Note after copying, the path should appear as "/usr/local/qt-installs/qt480ga-nxs-qws-rel&quot;
# Copy the application binary and other required resource files on target file-system, say "/root&quot;
# Locate a shell script named "start&quot; in "/bin&quot; folder on target.
# Copy it in your app folder and edit the paths inside it.
# Launch application using same "start&quot; script as,
' # ./start /root/app1/app1 -qws -display eglnullws
