Building Qt 5.2.0 for Beagleboard on Windows

[michael_endres]

hello,

I`m trying to compile Qt 5.2.0 static with Sourcery CodeBench for a Beaglebone and it works without any error. But if I want to use the compiled Version in QT with the compiler arm-none-eabi-g++ or arm-none-gnueabi-g++ i get this error:

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, C:\Sourcery_standard\bin\arm-none-linux-eabi-g++.exe -c -pipe -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfloat-abi=hard -g -Wall -W -fPIE -DQT_STATIC_BUILD -DQT_QML_DEBUG -DQT_DECLARATIVE_DEBUG -I..\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.0_9Versuch\qtbase\mkspecs\linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -I..\untitled3 -I. -o main.obj ..\untitled3\main.cpp, ...) failed.
make (e=2): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
make: *** [main.obj] Error 2
16:03:23: Der Prozess "C:\Sourcery_standard\bin\make.exe" wurde mit dem Rückgabewert 2 beendet.
I'm using windows 7 with Qt 5.2.0

May you help me?

sincerly Yours

[michael_endres]

i`ve found the mistake... the name of the compiler was wrong. the correct name is arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++.
But now i have a new problem in configure.exe :

form win32-g++ -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -no-angle -opengl desktop -stati

[qtgopher]

Check your COMPILER_FLAGS variable in the qmake.conf file.

The option '-mfloat-abi=' needs to match your toolchain type. The default for qtbase/mkspecs/devices/linux-beagleboard-g++/qmake.conf is 'softfp', but I had to change mine for the linaro toolchain to 'hard'

[michael_endres]

can you post your qmake.conf?

===============================

I compiled Arch.pro with static settings.

Have everybody cross compile from Win 7 to BBB?

Thank you for helping.
