      ...isn't x86_64 little-endian?[/quote]
      i've never tried on a 64bit machine, good suggestion, thank you.
      try this configure.
      but first, cleanup. run
      make confclean

      ./configure -v -opensource -confirm-license -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -embedded arm -little-endian -host-little-endian -prefix /usr/local/beaglebone/qt4.8-arm -no-cups -no-accessibility -reduce-relocations -no-nas-sound -no-sm -no-nis -qt-libjpeg -qt-libpng -qt-zlib -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-odbc -no-sql-psql -no-sql-sqlite -no-sql-sqlite2 -no-pch -no-dbus -no-glib -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-webkit -no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-qt3support -nomake examples -nomake demos -nomake docs -nomake translations -no-qt3support -exceptions -no-fast

        I did * make confclean* which make claimed it couldn't find any target file/config so i just did the ./configure above with the last post that includes the little-endian flag and now I recieve this error, Thanks again for the help I'm excited to get to BeagleBone programming

          Hmm... Google suggests that the "-m64" is not supported by these cross-compilers. I don't have a 64-bit machine, so I'm not sure where that is being set.

          Go to your Qt root folder and call this to find out:
          @
          grep m64 *
          @

          You might be able to manually remove the flag and continue.

            hmm. lets go back and see if we can find a smaller configure that you can build on.

            see where you get with this one:
            @./configure -v -opensource -confirm-license -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -embedded arm -little-endian -host-big-endian -prefix /usr/local/beaglebone/qt4.8-arm @

            then maybe try this:
            @./configure -v -opensource -confirm-license -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -embedded arm -prefix /usr/local/beaglebone/qt4.8-arm @

            i'm with JSKH, i've never cross compiled on 64 bit.

              another one to try...

                [/quote]

                That first configure seems to have done the trick, This was the end result

                @
                Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
                Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
                Qt will be installed into /usr/local/beaglebone/qt4.8-arm

                To reconfigure, run 'make confclean' and 'configure'.
                @

                So i ran make and recieved the following error

                @make[1]: arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++: Command not found
                make[1]: *** [.obj/release-shared-emb-arm/qabstractanimation.o] Error 127
                make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xenland/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3/src/corelib'
                make: *** [sub-corelib-make_default-ordered] Error 2                @

                Its odd that it says its trying to execute arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++

                  check your mkspecs again.
                  look at this file:
                  /home/xenland/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++/qmake.conf

                  you should see stuff for:
                  arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-*
                  not
                  arm-none-linux-gnueabi-*

                  should look like the below:
                  @ #
                  # qmake configuration for building with arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++
                  #

                  include(../../common/linux.conf)
include(../../common/gcc-base-unix.conf)
include(../../common/g++-unix.conf)
include(../../common/qws.conf)
 
# modifications to g++.conf
QMAKE_CC                = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc
QMAKE_CXX               = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++
QMAKE_LINK              = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++
QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB        = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++
 
 
# modifications to linux.conf
QMAKE_AR                = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ar cqs
QMAKE_OBJCOPY           = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-objcopy
QMAKE_STRIP             = arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-strip
 
load(qt_config)

                    The conf file was saying the arm-none so I changed it to the one you provided and I get relativly the same error take a look:

                      now looks like the toolchain binaries aren't found in your PATH var.
                      source the toolchain env file, type:
                      source /usr/local/angstrom/arm/environment-setup

                      then type:
                      arm-angstrom-linux and hit tab a few times and make sure it can find arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++

                      see if that gets you further.
