Cannot pass -multimedia to Qt5.5.1 ./configure

Lazar

What are the requirements of Qt5 ./configure to pass -multimedia? I need multimedia and multimedia widgets to use in my application, but I don't see them in ./configure -h?I am getting 'UNKNOWN module: multimedia multimediawidgets'. Aren't they by default included in Qt5? Give me some tips please, thanks! :)

Qt5.5.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.3 host machine

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Yes the multimedia module is included and built automatically by default. Why do you need to build Qt yourself ? The prebuilt package has it already.

Hi @SGaist

Because I will use it for cross compiling for armhf platform. I am building Qt5 from source.

@SGaist I found that inside qt5.5.1 tarball, there are folders like qtmultimedia, with .pro file inside, what are the steps to build it?

If I can remember qmake -project will not be neccessary, but qmake will, also, make and make install, am I right?

Use your compiled qmake then make and main install. To ensure you use the right qmake, use the full path to it.
