Re: QT5 application NOT generating core dump upon receiving segmentation fault

["Julien Brianceau (jbriance)" <jbriance@cisco.com>]

Just to be sure, can you try the following export before launching your Qt app on your target:

    export QT_QPA_ENABLE_TERMINAL_KEYBOARD=1

It could workaround the signal handler installation, cf. http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/platformsupport/fbconvenience/qfbvthandler.cpp?h=5.4#n71

Hi,

I am using Qt5.4.1 with eglfs QPA.

Is there a way to avoid qt signal handler during compilation ? I would like
avoid patching Qt code.

Thanks
Ankur
