Qt cross compile for Raspbian Jessie

[vish]

@SGaist Ya it is accessible.. Hence i can compile and install imageformat module without any issue.

[SGaist]

jsondb and jsbackend ? Where did you had them ?

Can you locate qwidget.h in /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/usr/local/qt5pi/include ?

[vish]

No i dont have tht file in /include path..How come ?? Does ths mean my qtbase is not installed properly

[SGaist]

Looks like it, what option did you give to configure ?

[vish]

@SGaist ./configure -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=~/opt/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs -opensource -confirm-license -optimized-qmake -reduce-exports -release -make libs -prefix /usr/local/qt5pi -hostprefix /usr/local/qt5pi
same as mentioned in http://wiki.qt.io/Raspberrypi_beginners_guide

[SGaist]

That looks correct, do you have the configure summary ?

[vish]

NOTE: Qt is using double for qreal on this system. This is binary incompatible against Qt 5.1.
Configure with '-qreal float' to create a build that is binary compatible with 5.1.

Looks good…

Might be a glitch when you ran make install

[vish]

@SGaist I tries some stuff but not able to fix it. Can u guide me how to fix this and wht could be reason for this ??

[SGaist]

Well, basically and if I understood you correctly, you are able to cross-compile without any problem, correct ? When calling make install did you have the root file system of the Pi mounted correctly ?

[vish]

@SGaist I checked install log properly it should make QtWidget, QtPlateformHeaders, QtPlateformSupport, QtTest, QtOpenGL, QtPrintSupport, QtConcurrent, QtCore, QtDBus, QtGui, QtNetwork , QtPositioning, QtScript, QtSensors, QtSql , QtXml , QtXmlPatterns folders. But after finishing installation i m getting only QtConcurrent, QtCore, QtDBus, QtGui, QtNetwork , QtPositioning, QtScript, QtSensors, QtSql , QtXml , QtXmlPatterns folders in my install and similar in lib directory. So it cant install QtWidget, QtPlateformHeaders, QtPlateformSupport, QtTest, QtOpenGL, QtPrintSupport modules. I did nt find anything unusual in log.

[SGaist]

Did you build only qtbase or all of Qt ?

[vish]

well according to https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi_Beginners_Guide i have to build and install qtbase and than other modules. So I could not finish this step and I am blocked.

[SGaist]

That's correct. Do you have libQtWidget.so somewhere in your build folder ?

[vish]

@SGaist Nope...

[SGaist]

That one's really puzzling…

What happens if you call make -C src/widgets in your builder ?

[vish]

Hi @SGaist ,
I dont know what exactly was the problem. But I re cloned repo and than tried all steps and it works as expected. Could be a problem of broken download. But it neither gave me any unexpected error message not it failed. :P
But now i m happy tht i wll have kernel 4.1 with qt in my pi.. thanks for your time and support man.

[SGaist]

Well, that was a good idea !

You're welcome !
