Build errors in cross compile Qt for embedded linux

[rahul3349]

I've to create patch like this in order to fix build issues in qtbase

[SGaist]

It should yes, that's why I'm thinking there something funky going one. Did you get the sources from git ?

[rahul3349]

Yes, I'm using source from git. Am I doing something wrong here?

[SGaist]

No no, it was just to know where you got the sources from.

What distribution do you have on your sysroot ?

[SGaist]

But what Linux distribution are you using for your target sysroot ?

[rahul3349]

Ubuntu 15.04

[SGaist]

Ubuntu on the target and as sysroot ?

[rahul3349]

Ubuntu 15.04 is on target. I created sysroot by downloading arm 64 bit deb packages to resolve all Qt dependencies on host.

[SGaist]

One possibility is to add the QTextStream include where that error appears.

As for the X11 related errors, try moving the X11 includes after the Qt includes.

[rahul3349]

My intention behind starting this discussion is to avoid resolving build errors when I sync up or switch to new Qt version at my side. As I mentioned I've already resolved build errors and created patches for some Qt versions. But if those errors are fixed there itself as these are genuine build errors then developer do not have to resolve these errors for linux embedded platforms.

[SGaist]

Did you submit your patches for inclusion in Qt ?
