Compiling for playbook?

[dertom95]

Hi there, first of all thanks for the effort to get ogre up and running on bb10. Since I own a playbook I wonder what I would have to change to get this set up for playbook.

What I did so far is to change the cmake-toolchain's cc/cxx-flags to:

set( BLACKBERRY_CC_FLAGS " -V4.4.2,gcc_ntoarmv7le -D__QNX__" )
set( BLACKBERRY_CXX_FLAGS " -V4.4.2,gcc_ntoarmv7le -Y_gpp -D__QNX__" )

(corresponding for x86)

and I commented out the code inside handleNavigatorEvent (SampleBrowser_Blackberry.h) since this seems to be changed from the playbook to bb10-ndk.

I got it compiled and installed, but got an 'due to error 8'-error. That seems to be thrown when you try to execute x86-code on the arm-machine, but I'm (quite) sure that I have everything compiled in arm-mode with its arm-dependencies.

Any chance to see a more detailed error-report. I didn't get it yet (I'm very new to blackberry-development), how to access useful information about problems like this (any hint to find something like logcat for android?)

Thanks,ToM

Thx, for the link. That will help a lot.

Ok, after some mindblowing testing, I finally found the problem. CMake adds (at least on Linux) -rdynamic flag to qcc which let the problem occur that both, device and simulator, throw a "bad binary" 'due to error 8'-exception.
Actually I didn't find a way to override that behaviour. The toolchain already overrides CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_C_FLAGS to "" but for some reason the flag is still added. (Still try to avoid to delete it in the Cmake-template itself /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/Platform/(GNU|Linux).cmake )

For now I do the linking manually by repeating the last cmake-step and remove the flag by hand...nevertheless I got my engine starting on the playbook hooray... :D Still need to tweak the inputs and other stuff...

Again thx for making that possible, ToM
