[Interest] tty Keyboard & Mouse Support in Qt5

[laszlo.p.agocs at nokia.com]

It would be better to fetch the latest qtbase from git instead. It is highly likely that you will encounter build failures because libudev was still a requirement in your version. This has changed about 3 months ago, now it is optional.

Nowadays we only have

contains(QT_CONFIG, evdev) {
    SUBDIRS += evdevmouse evdevtouch evdevkeyboard evdevtablet
}

which means the plugins will be built whenever a suitable linux/input.h is available (meaning most Linux sytems).

Cheers,
Laszlo

Hi Laszlo, Samuel,

Thank you both for the support.

I saw this in qtbase/src/plugins/genric/generic.pro<http://generic.pro>

contains(QT_CONFIG, evdev) {
    contains(QT_CONFIG, libudev) {
        SUBDIRS += evdevmouse evdevtouch evdevkeyboard
    }
}

So I presumed that libudev is a must-have to compile evdev. From your comments, I think I can just go ahead and add evdevkeyboard and evdevmouse to SUBDIRS (libudev or not). I will update you my results.

Thanks again!

~Ganesh

Sorry, that should be "./myapp -plugin evdevkeyboard:/dev/event0"
