mksysimage for VMware

QNX USERS QNX6 - OS
1

Would you please help on the following issues when I mksysimage for VMWare. I have all the requirement environment variables set in accordance with the Getting Started (QNX ® SDK for Apps and Media 1.1). However, when I made the VMware system image, I encountered the messages shown below. FYI, I didn’t changed the contents of the source, and I have got QT5.3.0 installed. I double checked the QNX QT community.qnx.com/sf/projects/qt/, the most current is still QT 5.3.0.
Hi there,
I was trying to make system image for VMware using the original source of AnM from QNX SDK. Without any modication, I made the VMware system image using mksysimage command. However, I got a list of missing libraries, see below. What puzzles me is QNX QT only release QT5.3.0, however, it was after Qt5.3.1.

  1. What options do I have now? to install the latest QT from QT?
  2. Has anyone experienced making this before? The qnxAnM.vmx (from $QNX_DEPLOYMENT_WORKSPACE/infra/product/AnM/boards/vmware.ext/vm-config/) would not work, I had to use the qnxAnM.vmx from vmwaredemo.ext.anm11.268.150325_2017. Any comments?
  3. I got myAnMVM boot-up in VMware, but displayed blank screen with QNX mouse cursor. At the moment, I would think it possibly was caused by the missing libs. Any comments?
  4. The last two lines of the messages below show that /libqtmedia_qnx.so, usr/anm/bin/homescreen are missing as well. I wonder if these files are significant for the system to work properly. Why would they missing since it is a production release?

Appreciate any comments or suggestions.

From the messages, I would need to recompile Qt5.3.1 for QNX since Qt5.3.1 has not been released officially by QNX. Once, I have got the Qt5.3.1 installed, everything is sweet. The missing libraries are all gone.

For the missing Homescreen app. I had to exploded the zip qt file which was installed along with SDK. By recompiling the Homescreen in its own directory and then copied to the respective QNX target folder and finally remake the system image for VMware. Everything now works as it should.
