That looks correct, do you have the configure summary ?

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 !
