I am trying to cross compile Qt-5.8 for an arm64 embedded device but the cross-compilation terminates with the error as shown below

Please let me know if I am missing something.

adding the flag -no-feature-animation is still not helping and throwing the same error.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Out of curiosity, why use such an outdated version of Qt ? Current version is 5.11 with 5.9 being the LTS.

QT_is_beauty · S SGaist 9 Jul 2018, 20:52

@SGaist while configuring 5.9 i got the following error:

Then why not install the suggested module ?
