I have built a small linux using Buildroot. I have included QT for embedded and support for framebuffer devices, but I am unable to run the Qt examples from it. I want to run GUI without X server.
When running /usr/share/qt/examples/qws/framebuffer/framebuffer -qws I am getting the following error:
Error: cannot open framebuffer device: No such file or directory.
The output of ls /dev/fb* is:
/dev/fb0 /dev/fb1 /dev/fb2 /dev/fb3
strace output:
execve("./framebuffer", ["./framebuffer", "-qws"], [/* 16 vars */]) = 0

(Don't know what this means)
If I run the calculator example with:
usr/share/qt/examples/widgets/calculator -qws
QLock::QLock: Cannot create semaphore /tmp/qtembedded-0/QtEmbedded-0 'd' (38, Function not implemented)
Cannot get display lock
Aborted
It seems that I didn't include the System V IPC option in the kernel. I found the asnwer here.
