rpi3 device missing

[Mark81]

I'm trying to cross-compile Qt5.6 for Raspberry Pi 3 as described here:

https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS

the doc says to configure qtbase as follow:

./configure -release -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi2-g++ [...]

but changing the device to linux-rasp-pi3-g++ leads to this error:

Error: No device matching 'linux-rasp-pi3-g++'

What is the right way to to this?

Hi,

Do you mean the linux-rpi3-g++ mkspecs ?

[Mark81]

@SGaist Yes, I didn't imagine it because it's different than rpi2!

[SGaist]

Well, instinctively I would have follow the same pattern as you did before checking.

I don't know why the naming for the RPi3 doesn't follow the others.

linux-rpi3-g++ is not working on qt 5.9

[SGaist]

Try with linux-rasp-pi3-g++

@SGaist said in rpi3 device missing:

linux-rasp-pi3-g++

Still not working

[SGaist]

Seriously, did you even try to understand the error message ?

/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihfg++ doesn't exist on your system hence the error message. It's likely /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ thus you are missing the final - in your CROSS_COMPILE statement.

@SGaist

I already have it

user@KELLGGNLPTP0232:~$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

user@KELLGGNLPTP0232:~$ which arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++

[Avtansh Sharma]

Here is the catch

you have to use arm-linux-gnueabihf-'' instead of arm-linux-gnueabihf.

@SGaist thanks for your help
