Hi,

What version of gcc are you using to build Qt ?

DivyaMuthyala

Hi,

We are using gcc-4.6.2 version.

@DivyaMuthyala It looks like you have a dirty Qt environment. Some objects were compiled with a different gcc.

I would do a make clean and then reconfigure and remake.

DivyaMuthyala

Hi,

I have done what you have said, still I am facing same issue.

ambershark

@DivyaMuthyala Can you post the full build log or at least the part with the errors... That mangling thing is usually just a warning.

@DivyaMuthyala

what arm device do u use?

DivyaMuthyala

Hi,

We are using linux based IMx6 SoloLite board.

@DivyaMuthyala What does "file /u01/rootfs/usr/lib/libxcb-xkb.a" say?

ambershark

@DivyaMuthyala You are definitely mixing binaries. I was suspicious before but I'm positive now with that last error.

I'll wait and see what your response with the output of the file command is.

DivyaMuthyala

Hi,

Thanks for your support.

Now I am able to configure successfully,but now I am facing issue during compilation.
When I am trying to compile sample application its throwing a following error.

"fatal error: QApplication: No such file or directory"

I am adding in .pro file QT +=widgets, but still I am facing issue.
Can you please help me.
Thanks in advance.

SGaist

Did you re-run qmake after adding that ?

DivyaMuthyala

Yes,I have run qmake and make

SGaist

Are you sure you did install your custom Qt properly ?

DivyaMuthyala

Hi,

I have missed some library soft linking .
I Configured it again and its working fine now.

Thankyou for your support.
