Problem with Qt embedded 4.4.0 static & directfb

**anselmolsm** · 30th June 2008, 21:41

Hi!

I'm making some tests with qt-embedded. First I compiled Qt shared and also my test app. It worked well.

Later I tried to make the same test with Qt static, but I'm had problems. The following message appears:

Qt Code:

Switch view

directfb: driver not found

directfb: driver not found

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

(In both cases I used -plugin-gfx-directfb to configure Qt)

Has anybody seen it? If there's another thread about it, please send the link

(I haven't found it yet).

thanks
Anselmo

With static Qt you have to use Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN() macro to load the plugin. Other solution is to compile the plugin into Qt (if configure offers such option for that plugin).

Thanks jacek! Now it's working.

I'll put here 2 links that can help people who search for this in the future =)

iam want to use directfb. i have alredy built directfb1.0.0 . i have given -plugin-gfxdriver-directfb in configure command. To test the direct fb i included qt_Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qdirectfb) inmain.cpp of calculator example. but when i give make command it throws mw an error as "constructor,destructor or type conversion before '(' token".

after adding Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN i gave qmake.pro and then make command. can somebody guide me
