    Okay, I'll start this job in my spare time. At the moment I am full due to university and work. I will put the link to the repo when I get started.

        Ok, this is the link to the tutorial.

        https://github.com/giridhar123/Qt-Rpi4-Mac-Cross-Compile

        As I said, I will update it in my free time. There is only a problem: I deleted the configuration folder so I need some days to prepare everything again. I will do it with the 6.2.2 version.

          This is good. I myself work on macOS with RasPi but after failing a few times to set this up properly my way to go is with Remote Desktop access and compile directly on the Pi. It works but damn it is slow... I am happy to try out your way!

          For more information please re-read.

          Kind Regards,
          Artur

            Yes, I used the same approach for the latest 6 months. The input lag is to hateful.

              Hello guys. I'm writing the tutorial but I've encountered some problems making the toolchain because the tool "Crosstool-ng" stuck on building m4 and I don't understand why. I'm so sorry. Working on it.

              EDIT: After 10 hours of trying I compiled m4, hope I won't find new strange and random errors :D

                You have nothing to apologize for! :D Finding and fixing problems is part of a programmer's life.

                All the best.

                  There is a good news. I compiled a Qt Project from MacOS to raspberry pi using Cmake instead of Qmake.
                  BTW I'm still making the tutorial to make the cross-compile environment.

                    I would like to announce that I've finished to write the tutorial.
                    You can find it here.

                    Hoping that somebody of you could help me to improve it :-).

                        Any updates to this tutorial? Trying on an M4 Mac and the crosstool-ng build is crapping out when trying to build make.
