QT5.12.x Raspberry Pi Zero Cross Compilation on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
-
Hi Fellow Qt Guys,
Can you help me? For days I've been trying to get a cross compilation toolchain working for a Raspberry Pi Zero project. Obviously developing on a Pi Zero isn't really practical. I managed to get a cross compilation working using MinGW32 on Windows for Qt 5.5.0 using this tutorial
https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/raspberry/qt/embedded/
However, my project on the zero will use QT Quick QML so I needed a later cross compilation version so I set up a VM (VMware) running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. Installed QT, all is well running the project under Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. I then followed this tutorial ( https://mechatronicsblog.com/cross-compile-and-deploy-qt-5-12-for-raspberry-pi ) to the letter only changing the device target for pi Zero to:
/configure -release -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=~/raspi/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot ~/raspi/sysroot -opensource -confirm-license -skip qtwayland -skip qtlocation -skip qtscript -make libs -prefix /usr/local/qt5pi -extprefix ~/raspi/qt5pi -hostprefix ~/raspi/qt5 -no-use-gold-linker -v -no-gbm
Installed the dependency packages amongst which is Clang version:
clang version 6.0.0-1ubuntu2 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/binand I set tLLVM_INSTALL_DIR to /usr/bin
and confirmed with echoHowever I still get a waring at the end of the summary:

QDoc ................................... noNote: Also available for Linux: linux-clang linux-icc
WARNING: QDoc will not be compiled, probably because libclang could not be located. This means that you cannot build the Qt documentation.
Either ensure that llvm-config is in your PATH environment variable, or set LLVM_INSTALL_DIR to the location of your llvm installation.
On Linux systems, you may be able to install libclang by installing the libclang-dev or libclang-devel package, depending on your distribution.
On macOS, you can use Homebrew's llvm package.
On Windows, you must set LLVM_INSTALL_DIR to the installation path.Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into '/home/ubuntuvm/raspi/qt5pi'.Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.This is the final output on make install:
cd doc/ && ( test -e Makefile || /home/ubuntuvm/raspi/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.2/qtbase/bin/qmake -o Makefile /home/ubuntuvm/raspi/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.2/qtdoc/doc/doc.pro ) && make -f Makefile install
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ubuntuvm/raspi/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.2/qtdoc/doc'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'install'.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ubuntuvm/raspi/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.2/qtdoc/doc'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ubuntuvm/raspi/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.2/qtdoc'So why is qtDoc still not working?
When I go to create a kit in QT creator, Qmake is invalid and thus is not selectable.
Qmake is 24.6 MB in size
Any help appreciated
Thanks
