Hi,
lately I have good progress on my work, normal KDE applications seem
to work fine in OpenEmbedded.
But my main goal, to port PA, still needs some effort.

Currently I'm at the point that the home screen of PA shows up,
but it seems like something went wrong with the declarative scriptengine.

So there is a big sign with a "X" as label showing the text:
"Could not create a declarativeappletscript sctiptengine"

Under /usr/lib/kde4 there are these (relevant?) libraries found:
-
plasma_appletscriptengine_dashboard.so
plasma_runnerscript_javascript.so
plasma_dataenginescript_javascript.so
plasma_appletscript_simple_javascript.so
plasma_appletscriptengine_webapplet.so
plasma_appletscript_declarative.so
-

The Qt and kde libs are at /usr/lib:
-
libQtDeclarative.so.4.8.0
libkdeclarative.so.5
libQtDeclarative.so.4.8
libQtDeclarative.so.4
libkdeclarative.so.5.8.0
-


So I assume that some library like
"plasma_appletscriptengine_declarative.so" is missing.
But kde-runtime logs don't indicate something like that.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction?
