<h2>Building Qt for Embedded Linux with uclibc</h2>
<p>If you intend to include the <a href="qtwebkit.html">QtWebKit</a> module in your Qt build then you should use version <b>uClibc 0.9.29 or greater</b> as that is the earliest version with sufficient pthread support.</p>
<a name="memory-requirements"></a>
<h2>Memory Requirements</h2>
<p>The memory and storage requirements for Qt for Embedded Linux depend on a an variety of different factors, including the target architecture and the features enabled in the Qt build.</p>
<p>The following table shows typical library sizes for the most common Qt libraries on different architectures, built in release mode with different feature profiles.</p>
<table class="generic">
<thead><tr class="qt-style"><th  rowspan="2">Architecture</th><th  rowspan="2">Compiler</th><th  colspan="2"><a href="qtcore.html">QtCore</a></th><th  colspan="2"><a href="qtgui.html">QtGui</a></th><th  colspan="2"><a href="qtnetwork.html">QtNetwork</a></th><th  colspan="2"><a href="qtwebkit.html">QtWebKit</a></th></tr>
<tr class="qt-style"><th >Minimal</th><th >Normal</th><th >Minimal</th><th >Normal</th><th >Minimal</th><th >Normal</th><th >Minimal</th><th >Normal</th></tr></thead>

</table>
<p>Library sizes are given in the following units: K = 1024 bytes; M = 1024K. <a href="qtwebkit.html">QtWebKit</a> is excluded from the minimal configuration.</p>
<p>The <a href="fine-tuning-features.html">Fine-Tuning Features in Qt</a> document covers the process of configuring Qt builds to avoid the inclusion of unnecessary features.</p>
<a name="additional-x11-libraries-for-qvfb"></a>
<h2>Additional X11 Libraries for QVFb</h2>
<p>The Virtual Framebuffer (QVFb) application requires the <tt>libxtst</tt> library in addition to the libraries used to build Qt for X11. This library enables the use of the Record extension to the X protocol to be used in applications.</p>
