Building Qt4 for Symbian

[igosoft]

Hi all

Has anybody built Qt4 for Symbian S60 5th target on Windows?

I have got following error when building QtGui

make[2]: *** [\s5\epoc32\release\gcce\udeb\QtGui.dll] Error 87

"(e=87) The parameter is incorrect." It occurs when make invokes CreateProcess with ld command and it means that the command line is too long. My investigation points to cl_bpabi.pm Perl script. Do you know how to change that file to get rid of the problem?

here is a part of CreateProcess.

Thank You for any help

Hi,

No..unfortunately not with GCCE compiler, check known issues. You'd need to use RVCT compiler instead, v2.2 build 686 preferably.

[igosoft]

Thank you. I'll check that.

Yes. It's much better now. However I couldn't compile to armv udeb due to huge amount of memory required by linker . (more then 2GB)

Yes... that's a known problem as well - don't know if there's any way to work around it.

yes. it looks like QtGui it too big. In my opinion it's good time to move QGraphicsXXXXX classes to QtGuiGraphics for example
