What is mkspecs used for & how to configure for my hardware

[embdev]

@SGaist [linux-arm-hi3536-g++] is the folder I created in Qt, the compiler is arm-hisiv400-linux-g++ installed in /opt/. The version is as follows:

arm-hisiv400-linux-g++ (Hisilicon_v400) 4.8.3 20131202 (prerelease)

Can you take a look in your cross-compiler folder and search for where crti.o is ?

[embdev]

@SGaist actually I found the directory for crt1.o and crti.o. Do you know how to link to the correct directory for these 2 libs?

[SGaist]

Where is that file located ?

[embdev]

@SGaist it's stored in /opt/hisi-linux/x86-arm/arm-hisiv400-linux/target/usr/lib inside my toolchain installed on the host PC.

Strange path...

You can add it to your configure line with -L /opt/hisi-linux/x86-arm/arm-hisiv400-linux/target/usr/lib

@SGaist actually from the error log above, this path is already included inside but i'm not sure why during the search (in the following command lines) that particular path containing the 2 object files are not searched:

-L/opt/hisi-linux/x86-arm/arm-hisiv400-linux/target/usr/lib -L/opt/hisi-linux/x86-arm/arm-hisiv400-linux/target/lib -lrt --sysroot=/home/aa/Hi3536_SDK_V2.0.4.0/package/osdrv_single/rootfs_glibc_single
 /opt/hisi-linux/x86-arm/arm-hisiv400-linux/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-hisiv400-linux-gnueabi/4.8.3/../../../../arm-hisiv400-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
 /opt/hisi-linux/x86-arm/arm-hisiv400-linux/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-hisiv400-linux-gnueabi/4.8.3/../../../../arm-hisiv400-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory

Strange... Did you re-run configure ? If so, did you do it from a clean state ?

[embdev]

@SGaist actually removing the sysroot, allows me to configure the file, also did some changes to the QMAKE paths to the lib and include. Is the sysroot important?

[SGaist]

It's usually the sysroot that provides all the dev packages for the dependencies you might need when cross-compiling. The dependencies that are not part of the cross-toolchain that is.
