Clarification or Update required on Qt Blog to install QT on Tinkerboard.
-
Hi,
I like many others are trying build qt for asus tinker board according to this qt blog post:
https://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/05/03/qt-git-tinkerboard-wayland/I have spent quite some time going over this with no results. As the guide cross-references another guide (https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS) it could become easy to make a mistake. To help I have included a short guide of what I've done. But this will need to be verified.
The original blog that was created a short time ago also has some hyperlink issues around downloading the toolchain and there are some command issues when using: rsync -e ssh avz instead of rsync -avz.
I believe there will also need to be some clarification on what system the blog was performed on (i.e Ubuntu, Debian) and also if the dev- branch of a qtbase is still required.
Also, I think the additional instruction is necessary on setting up the Qt environment as there are linking issues with the qmake. please reference https://forum.qt.io/topic/83776/can-t-build-qt-for-tinkerboard
Thank you

Hi,
You should rather bring this to the interest mailing list. You'll find there Qt's developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented.
-
I've never heard of this interest mailing list. But I'll give it a good.
In this case, I would prefer to somehow contact the Qt employee for the blog namely Laszlo Agocs and ask for clarification but the comments for his blog are closed and there are no means for contacting him directly via the Qt platform instead of twitter and Linkedin.

@redknight106 Ping lagocs on #qt-labs channel on freenode (but better not today, as today is holiday in Germany)
-
Thank you @Konstantin-Tokarev . I'll have a look on freenode and try and contact him.
-
@Konstantin-Tokarev Sadly I haven't had any replies from Laszlo Agocs via freenode or his QT email which is a shame :(
-
He's currently busy all week for the Qt Contributor Summit and World Summit. So this also means that he had to prepare for that.
