[Development] Qt 5 Raspberry Pi device program

[quim.gil at nokia.com]

(mobiletopposting, sorry)


There are many approaches to build Qt 5 on top of Raspberry Pi. We are taking one and we welcome contributors adding to it or interested in pushing alternatives as long as the focus keeps being Qt 5 centric.


Since this is not a Qt 5 discussion strictly speaking we have requested a mailing list not to disturb this one. Like the rest of the pieces, we are hoping to have it in place for sharing, discussion and collaboration next week.


Thank you for the interest!

For something that plans on running Qt, you may need an embedded distribution
that is slightly bigger than OpenWRT. I recommend taking a look at Yocto.
