[Solved] QT Console Hello World Program in Power PC based architecture with Linux <QtCore/qconfig-ppc.h>

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you trying to build for PPC on a x86 system ?

Sidii

Thanks :)

Actually i am building on PPC system only. I already have libQtCore.so.4 which is built on PPC. I just wrote a simple Hello World program (console mode) and i got the error:

fatal error: QtCore/qconfig-ppc.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Kindly help.

SGaist

Which version of Qt are you using ? How did you compile it ?

Sidii

Dear SGaist,

I am starting again from scratch. I have downloaded the source code QT 5.2.1 and i want to compile the source code in Linux Powerpc. We have Intel machine with Cross Compiler.

I tried giving the following command:

./configure -xplatform POWERPC -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-wrs-linux-gnu-ppc_603e-glibc_std-gcc

But i am getting following message after accepting the terms and conditions:

The specified system/compiler is not supported:

  /home/ebxal/COMPILATION_SETUP/StHelens/B412.20/SYSROM_SRC/dev/AL/FrontPanel/Src/qtbase/mkspecs/POWERPC

Please see the README file for a complete list.

Kindly let me know the correct way of compilation. Thanks

SGaist

You should rather make a copy of e.g. linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ to linux-ppc-g++ and change the content of qmake.conf to match your cross-compiler then use that mkspec

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I did the same but got this error:

Which edition of Qt do you want to use ?

Type 'c' if you want to use the Commercial Edition.
Type 'o' if you want to use the Open Source Edition.

Kindly give your inputs. Thanks

You still need to tell configure that you are cross-compiling like you would for an arm device

Sidii

Thanks for your help :)
I am able to compile the QT source code in Linux, intel based machine using cross compilation - powerpc.

SGaist

You're welcome !

Since the compilation is working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

Sidii

Done !!
