Getting errors while trying to compile Qvfb from Qt/X11 environment

[sunil-vasudevan]

hi all,
I downloaded the latest libraries (Qt libraries 4.8.1 for Linux/X11).
I was trying to build the qvfb from ~/Qt-X11/tools/qvfb.Prior to this compilation, i had compiled Qt/X11 successfully and set the Qt path accordingly.

Then i tried to build qvfb by giving make command from the qvfb folder which resulted with errors

While compiling the qvfb i am getting the errors related to qanimationwriter.cpp as follows

Makefile:4577: warning: overriding commands for target `.obj/release-shared/qlock.o’
Makefile:4259: warning: ignoring old commands for target `.obj/release-shared/qlock.o’

qanimationwriter.cpp:107: error: ‘png_bytep’ has not been declared

can anybody help me to overcome this issue

hi all,
I myself found the reason for build failure for the qvfb.Infact it was a bug in the qt4.8.1 version release itself as it is being reported by the following link.

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?decorator=printable&reset=true&&pid=10510&resolution=-1&component=19151&sorter/field=updated&sorter/order=DESC
please search for the “qvfb” in the above link


Then I downloaded the 4.5.2 sourcecode for both Qt/Embedded and Qt/X11 and finally i am able to bring the qvfb emulator up .Following link will give the proper instructions to install the qvfb.

So finally I am able to run the Qt/Embedded application using the Qvfb from the Qt/X11 tools….:D:cool::p
