Raspberry Pi Beginners Issue: toolchain or QMakeSpec is broken

[CybeX]

Good day all

Please note: newbie here, I am following this tutorial, attempting to make sense of it with my very limited knowledge.

I am attempting to ,to my understanding, build a version of QT for my Raspberry Pi 3 by following this wiki tutorial

I run into an error when configuring the qtbase with the command:

./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

Note that I am copying and pasting, if there is some mistake, it should be no fault of my own since I am trying to make sense of this as it is my first time doing this.

The ouput follows:

~/opt/qt5/qtbase$ ./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

<outbase> = /home/cx/opt/qt5/qtbase

All info you need is already pasted by you in config.log:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [verifyspec] Error 1

I think its compiler issue. You can google about fixing it. I remeber that i had to do some symbolic link tricks with g++ compiler, plus i had to install g++ compile (c++ 11 or even 14) to make qt compiled...

@CybeX From that tutorial:

The default mkspec symlink is broken.
It means that mkspec is not found on your sysroot, so your must copy it.

paulo@westeros:~$ sudo cp -r /usr/local/qt5pi/mkspecs/ /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/usr/local/qt5pi/
If the problem persists, create the missing symlink, e.g.

sudo ln -s /usr/local/qt5pi/mkspecs/devices/linux-rasp-pi-g''+ /usr/local/qt5pi/mkspecs/default
It is probably a good idea to do the same for the sysroot mkspecs.

Looks like you need to do that and you'll be good to go.

hi everyone,

i could't get that crass compile tools from the link given int tutorials here.

there is a link here in the tutorial but it requires username and password.

i search this files in google and get the files from this link

but there is a error "The toolchain or QMakeSpec is broken".

anyone can help ?

I also tried the Raspberry Pi Beginners Guide days ago, but with no success.
A more recent Guide is here https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS.
It´s using the offical rpi cross toolchain and a working script to fix the symlink issue.
Also syncing the sysroot from a running image is easier than mounting it with a loop device.

Because I had the same Issues with the same Tutorial and often came along this discussion while searching for possible solutions, I took the privilege to dig up this old thread. With the help of What would be a pratical example of sysroot and prefix options for Qt and especially the mentioned option,

quote:"
-no-gcc-sysroot

• very specific hack for compilers that can't find their own crt inside --sysroot

• passes sysroot to pkgconfig and others, but not to gcc

• so that gcc will be called with -L/sysroot/lib/ correctly, but doesn't try to find implicit paths (crt) here.

", I was able to fix the problem.
