Binaries for Hardware Accelerated Qt 5.5.0 Multimedia Backend on Raspbian Jessie (Pi 2 only)

As someone asked, I tried to port POT to the recently released Raspbian Jessie. Everything works pretty much the same, except for a few changes. Unfortunately I needed to rebuild icu as well, the system build seemed not compatible as the compiler was updated to 4.9 in jessie. The new icu is provided in qtdeps inside the package. Everything seems to work as expected. Please report to github issues. For the moment only a build for Pi2 is provided.

Download PiOmxTextures 5.0.0 for Pi2 (Raspbian Jessie) here (extraction code is: 1e45).

NOTE:
The Qt build includes support for XCB platform but I never tested POT on XCB. This is the configuration of the Qt 5.5.0 build included in the package:

  1. Hello Luca,

    Can you please point where can I download cross toolchain for Rpi2?

    Right now I use, "gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf" but since 4.7 does not fully support C++11 I am a bit shy to use it. Because you have so much more experience, I would like to use same cross toolchain with you.

    I thank you for POT and for your support.
    Sina

    1. I use this one: https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools/tree/master/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64.

    3. Ah thank you, what about the debugger? Do you debug?
