     43The steps below first require building Yocto from source documented <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/Yocto/Building">here</a>
     44</p>
     45<p>
     46Then, after building, to include QTE 4.8.6, we have modified a base Gateworks recipe file.
     47</p>
     48<p>
     49Below are the lines we have added:
     50</p>
     51<pre class="wiki">inherit qt4e
     52
     53IMAGE_INSTALL += "${QT4EDEPENDS}"
     54
     55IMAGE_INSTALL += "\

     57"
     58</pre><ul><li>Create a copy of a Gateworks recipe file in /sources/meta-gateworks/recipes-core/images/ and call it gateworks-image-qte.bb (or download attached recipe file and place in /sources/meta-gateworks/recipes-core/images/)

     60<ul><li>Create qte supported image: <tt>bitbake gateworks-image-qte</tt>
     61</li><li>Create SDK: <tt>bitbake -cpopulate_sdk gateworks-image-qte</tt>

     63</li></ul></li></ul><h3 id="CreatingtheHelloWorldProgram">Creating the Hello World Program</h3>
     64<ul><li>Create a new directory and place in it a main.cpp with example code
     65<ul><li>

     67#include &lt;QPushButton&gt;

     71{
     72 QApplication app (argc, argv);
     73 QPushButton button ("Hello world !");
     74 button.showFullScreen();
     75 
     76 return app.exec();
     77}
     78
     79</pre></li></ul></li><li>Use qmake to create a project file (creates .pro file named off directory you are in using the source files in the directory)
     80<ul><li><tt>qmake -project</tt>

     86</li><li>Modify AR line to say: <tt> arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ar cqs</tt>
     87</li><li>The total and final lines that are changed in the Makefile:
