installing QT4.7.4 for embedded Linux. Multiple errors

I'm an absolute beginner with Linux and developing for embedded Linux. I'm trying to install QT for embedded Linux onto my Fedora 15 laptop to target an i.Mx233.

Firstly, within the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4 folder, I enter the command:

./configure -v -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-imx -phonon -force-pkg-config

With the linux-arm-imx qmake conf file:

#
# qmake configuration for building with arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++
#

include(../../common/g++.conf)
include(../../common/linux.conf)
include(../../common/qws.conf)

load(qt_config)

The config gives the following output (sorry for length but I've no idea where to pinpoint the error):

Which edition of Qt do you want to use ?

Type 'c' if you want to use the Commercial Edition开发者_运维问答.

Phonon support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests!
 Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to ./configure to see the final report.
 If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue
 switch (-continue) to ./configure to continue.

The install was obviously unsuccessful but I'm not sure why the .cpp files are failing.

As I said, I'm a beginner with Linux and have no available support here. I realise helping a newbie can be very tedious but I'm lost with this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: It should probably be said that I've tried QT, Freescale etc. directly with no luck. No one?

I would recommend you to use an embedded Linux build system, which already knows how to build Qt and all the required dependencies. You will save a lot of time, and at the end of the day, you will have a reproducible method to build your system.

As I am one of its developers, I like Buildroot a lot, but there are numerous other build systems around: OpenEmbedded, Yocto, OpenBricks, PTXdist, and more.

It stops because glib is not found in your toolchain. You required Qt to compile the Phonon module. The Phonon module http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/phonon-overview.html#phonon-overview requires gstreamer on Linux, which in turn requires glib and libxml2. Either provide all the necessary libraries to compile the Phonon module or omit it to continue the configure tests as already suggested.
