Can't install Qt for win CE on win XP

[MartinM]

Hello,

I got stuck when trying to install Qt for win CE on win XP. Here is what I did:
- created a path C:\Qt\WinCE\V4_6_2\
- unpacked qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2.zip to there
- put C:\Qt\WinCE\V4_6_2\bin in the PATH (at the end)
- started Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt and entered vcvars32.bat, checked with PATH, lots of new entries
- in the same DOS-Box entered configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -xplatform wince50standard-armv4i-msvc2005
- this ran fine
- in the same DOS-Box entered setcepaths wince50standard-armv4i-msvc2005
-> he states that he couldn't find STANDARDSDK_500 (ARMV4I) and tmp_created_script_setup.bat, yet said it was all setup
- in the same DOS-Box entered nmake
-> he states that he couldn't find ceconfig.h and stops with errors

That's it. What can I do? Did I forget something?

Then one question to the wince version: I couldn't find a parameter for wince60standard but in directory mkspecs there is such a subdirectory. When do I have to enter that I use wince 6.0 R2 ?

Thank you for any help

You need the platform SDK in addition to the Qt SDK for WinCE. ceconfig.h is part of the platform SDK and describes what was compiled into the WinCE image.

Hello fatjuicymole,

thank you for your answer.
I am sorry but I don't understand what to do now.
Where do I find this SDK and where do I have to copy it to?
Do you mean the SDK from the board support package that came with the board I use?

Thank you for any help

Yes, the SDK will be part of the BSP, as will the header file.

You can also download WinCE platform builder from Microsoft, which when you have configured and compiled a WinCE image, will give you a ceconfig.h too.

Hello fatjuicymole,

thank you for your answer.

I already have WinCE installed and have created an OS design and I also found a ceconfig.h in the release directory. But where do I find the other ones and how do I make them available to the Qt install process?
Is there a doc or website that explains these things step by step?

Thank you very much for any help

If you don't have the SDK, you can download from Microsoft. Eg: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Hello fatjuicymole,

I have an SDK. When I start a new project using C++ in Visual Studio 2005 I am prompted to select an SDK and in that list there is also an SDK for the board I am using. So it is there and it is properly installed.
Also the ceconfig.h for my OS image is there.
So the problem left is, how to tell Qt install process where to look for these file or which files to use.

Or is it another thing?
It says it wants Standard_SDK500, I guess 500 means win CE 5.00 but I have win CE 6.0 R2 installed. Is this special SDK needed and no other one? How about doing it all with win CE 6.0?

Does anybody know how to get passed this?

Thank you for any help

Martin

Hi,
I am also facing a similar issue. I am using VS2005 and winCe 6.0 plug in along with it. I need to install the qt plugin for VS2005, which works on winCe6.0. I am using windows mobile 5 pocket PC SDK. Once I do "nmake", I get an error message "#error Must define a target architecture." Please help me with this..

Is it necessary that I should use winCe 5.0 standard SDK . I had some troubles installing it. I downloaded the SDK from MS web site. So, I decided to switch to windows mobile 5 pocket PC SDK.
What is the solution to the error message I get ?

Thank You

Hi,
I have developed Qt-based application in LINUX. However I want to port this application for Windows Mobile. What should I do? Which versions should I install?

Qt Version ?
Visual Studio ?
Windows Mobile ?

and what instruction should i have to consider?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. I have also a custom installed sdk. I have done the following

in the bin directory you have a program checksdk.exe, that can create a .bat file that you have to execute. First you have to find out if your sdk is there with

checksdk -list

you get some names also with your sdk if properly installed. Then you have to make a .bat file with

checksdk.exe -sdk "your sdk name" -script setenviroment.bat

you have to execute the .bat file

setenviroment

as response you get (on my computer and my sdk board)

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\vc\bin>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Vi
sual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But if you use the standard sdk you can use setcepath but then you haven't installed the sdk properly.

You can find them here

i faced similar problem , i solved that b this steps( for my arm board)

1)i have downloaded wince5 standard sdk from the following link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and installed the sdk

2)extracted qt binaries to :
c:\Qt\4.5.3

3)Opened MS visual studio command prompt , changed to c:\Qt\4.5.3 directory

4) typed : configure –platform win32-msvc2005 –xplatform wince50standard-armv4i-msvc2005
in the command prompt

5)after configuring changed c:\Qt\4.5.3\bin

and typed : setcepaths wince50standard-armv4i-msvc2005
u should get response as SDK environment set(or some similar response , as i couldn't remember exact response)

6) at last typed : nmake

after more than an hour qt installed successfully.


May be this can give u a hint in solving your problem.

@msrihari

Have you already succeeded with minimalizing the library's of qt ? or wasn't this necessary for you ?

[msrihari]

procedure i mentioned previously is for the first time when in installed qt on my system , later i installed with different configuration based on my requirements
