    If I use the second option: is it enough to say apt-get install qt50-snapshot or do I have to do additional actions to install the snapshot?

      yes. installed qt50-snapshot on RPi is enough to run program cross-compiled on your Local PC.
      Just follow this "tutorial":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Create#QtonPi_App_SDK to cross-compile your app.

        But after installing the snapshot on the pi, cross-compiling the hello-world-app and deploying it I get the messagelib

        error while loading shared libraries : QtQuick.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

        do I have to do more than to say apt-get install qt50-snapshot?

          Look into the /opt/ path, can you see "vt" & "qt5" folder? Look into the /opt/qt5/lib which libraries are installed. You should have /opt/qt5/lib/libQtQuick.so.5 there.
          If Qt libs are installed correctly, but you still can't deploy and run your app, check with ldd(on the RPi) if all dependency for your app are found. just run:
          @
          ldd /path/to/your/hello-qtonpi
          @

          you can also check if all dependency for Qt is there:
          @
          readelf -d /opt/qt5/lib/libQtCore.so.5.0.0
          readelf -d /opt/qt5/lib/libQtQuick.so.5.0.0
          @

            There is no qt5 or vt in my opt-folder

              ldd says : not a dynamic executable

              the readelf commands seem to work even if the folder is /opt/qt50-snapshot/lib. does this matter?

                  Is it possible that I have to use another qmake to cross-compile for the wheezy than for the original qtonpi image?

                    can be solved by

                    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt50-snaphot/lib

                    before running the qt-program.

                      I ran into the same problem, but in my case it comes from a custom QT5 build (not the snapshot).
                      Anyway, if followed http://qt-project.org/wiki/RaspberryPi_Beginners_Guide
                      and qt ended being installed not in opt but in /usr/local/qt5pi/
                      libQtQuick.so.5.0.0 is in the lib subfolder but setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not change anything which is quite surprising, and as for Pinkypanzer the ldd tells me hello-qtonpi is not an executable :(

                      Any other clue?

                        where did you execute it? via QtCreator or locally on the pi?
                        do you have the rights to execute it?

                          Both give the same result: running from QtCreator and running locally give the same error message

                          Yes, my binaries are in 644 mode

                            now I see there's an error in my post. it has to be
                            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt50-snapshot/lib
                            maybe this is your problem? you have to link the lib-folder

                              Indeed I've done that, but qt is not installed in opt for me, it is in /usr/local/qt5pi/lib !
                              And obviously I did not picked up the path, it came out of the box from the guidelines :(

                                in QT CREATOR you have to set the the path in the system environment

                                cited from the beginners guide:
                                At last, add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the “System Environment” and set it to “/usr/local/qt5pi/lib”

                                In my case the path would be "/opt/qt50-snapshot/lib"

                                  Then I'm sorry, I don't know what your problem is.
                                  Did you check the path is available at you pi and you have the rights to read from it?

                                    @jcverdie

                                    I followed the beginners guide like yourself also and ran into the same problem.

                                    Apps deployed and executed from within QtCreator ran correctly on the device but if I went to the command line on the RPi itself, I couldn't execute them (libQtQuick.. not found)

                                    Running: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/qt5pi/lib/

                                    Fixes this problem but only when logged in as root!

                                    If I export LD_LIBRARY_PATH as user 'pi' I still cannot execute the binary (same error as before).

                                    Stranger still, QtCreator which can deploy and run the binary correctly, is logging in via ssh with user 'pi' !

                                    Any ideas why this is happening?
