QT 5.9 for i.MX6Q and Integrity RTOS build error - unrecognised command line option »-std=c++11«

Mahesh Kumar Kodanda

Hello,

I am trying to port QT 5.9 with Sabreauto board(i.MX6Q) and Integrity RTOS.

I'm quite new to QT, so I checked out QT5.9 using :

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
cd qt5
git checkout 5.9
git submodule update --init qtbase qtimageformats qtsvg qtxmlpatterns qtdeclarative qtquickcontrols qtquickcontrols2

And running configure from build directory:

$../qt5/configure -developer-build -xplatform integrity-armv7-imx6 -confirm-license -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-dbus -silent -no-opengl -static -prefix /home/uidp5510/Project/qt_targetfs

getting the following error:

Preparing build tree...
<srcbase> = /home/uidp5510/qt5/qtbase
<outbase> = /home/uidp5510/qt5build/qtbase
Creating qmake...
cc1plus: Fehler: unrecognised command line option »-std=c++11«
make: *** [project.o] Fehler 1

Please tell me, what i must change in order to build QT5.9 without »-std=c++11« error?
which compiler I must use, either gcc latest version or greenhills multi compiler?

Hint: My machine have g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3 as default.

Thanks.

EDIT: Host OS - Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS

@Mahesh-Kumar-Kodanda Your compiler does not support C++11 which is a requirement for Qt 5.9 (and 5.8). You either need to get a newer compiler (4.9) or use older Qt version.

Thanks for the reply, I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 which have "gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4)".

there is no »-std=c++11« error but i have the following error when I ran configure from /qtbuild directory:.

../qt5/configure -developer-build -xplatform integrity-armv7-imx6 -confirm-license -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-dbus -silent -no-opengl –static –prefix /home/uidp5510/project/qt_on_integrity/targetfs

Creating qmake...
Done.

ERROR: Invalid command line parameter '–static'.

Is this variable -static used to build "static libraries"?

jsulm

@Mahesh-Kumar-Kodanda It looks like you have two - in front of static
Yes, -static is used to build static libs

@jsulm You are right, that solved issue..but i cannot compile minimal program.

qtbase/mkspecs/features/toolchain.prf:129: Variable QMAKE_CXX.COMPILER_MACROS is not defined.

ERROR: Cannot compile a minimal program. The toolchain or QMakeSpec is broken.

Check config.log for details.

Please provide if there is any document which explains "what and all parameters shall be set to build minimal demo image?"

jsulm

@Mahesh-Kumar-Kodanda Do you really need a static build?

Mahesh Kumar Kodanda

@jsulm I need to build a demo image to run on i.mx6Q sabreauto board with Integrity RTOS, greenhills suggested static build.
So, i am trying to build that way. You mean the above error is because of static build?

Update: Integrity supports only static builds.

jsulm

@Mahesh-Kumar-Kodanda Why does Integrity not support shared libraries? Any system I know does.
The error message says that cxintarm is not found. I'm not sure what it is, it looks like it belongs to Integrity tool chain - you should ask them.

Mahesh Kumar Kodanda

@jsulm I will contact Greenhills regarding this, Could you please post cross compile tool chain link for QT 5.9?

jsulm

@Mahesh-Kumar-Kodanda said in QT 5.9 for i.MX6Q and Integrity RTOS build error - unrecognised command line option »-std=c++11«:

cross compile tool chain

For which device? You already use one- why do you ask me to provide one? A cross compile tool chain is not specific to Qt or any other framework/library but to a device.
