Compile Qt framework
Requirements
- download and extract in the folder of your choice the Official Android NDK
- [Setup Android SDK]
Clone android-lighthouse repository
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/android-qt.git cd android-qt
Prepare & compile Qt
cd /path/to/cloneOfandroid-lighthouse/, use androidconfigbuild.sh to configure and compile Qt framework. Use the following command if you configure/compile Qt for the first time:
./android/androidconfigbuild.sh -n /where/you/install/android/ndk -q 1 -d 1
Previous command will cleanup any older configuration, and then will configure & build (for debugging) Qt framework, it will take a while until everything is finished.
If you want ONLY to compile Qt (you MUST have it previously configured) you should use androidconfigbuild.sh without -q 1 option.
./android/androidconfigbuild.sh -n /where/you/install/android/ndk
After Qt finish the compilation you can add it to QtCreator Qt Versions, check [Setup QtCreator] page for more information.
To complete the job, you have to push qt libs to your device.
QtCreator can do this job for you, if you check Deploy local qt libs option (Projects->Android (run tab)->Deploy configurations->Deploy local qt libs) check the picture below.
androidconfigbuild.sh accepts the following parameters (you can see all options by adding -p to script parameters):
usage: ./androidconfigbuild.sh options

2011-02-26Hello,
Thanks for your hard Works!
Will this work from windows using cygwin?
If not is there a precompiled windows version?
Sorry, I dont have a linux OS, I am linux illiterate! :)
Thanks,

2011-03-02Currently only Linux is supported as a development platform, you can virtualize ubuntu easily with VirtualBox (you just have to click next many times) and you can use Virtual Box Guest Additions to use the seamless integration mode where Ubuntu windows are being drawn aside normal Windows windows.

2011-03-11I gotthe frameworks to build on Windows with cygwin. No Creator yet though. I agree that Linux is a better choice, or wait until someone gets it building with mingw. Info is here:
