Cross-compiling RPi application using Qt Creator
-
I took source from here:
qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3
Can you provide link with more recent version.
Thanks -
So, what about original problem: what location use in bulding command - linux-rasp-pi-g++ or linux-rasp-pi2-g++ ?

All your input so far suggest you are actually compiling Qt 5.5. Please make sure you're working with the 5.12.3 source you downloaded.
-
Yes !!! Misunderstanding with my colleague - I believed that folder qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0 corresponds to the latest source of Qt. Indeed there are new device folder that correspond to RPi3: linux-rasp-pi3-g++ and linux-rasp-pi3-vc4-g++. What is the difference between them ?

Error while building !
Preparing build tree... Creating qmake... ..............................c:/Users/pyo/Downloads/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3/qtbase/src/corelib/global/qglobal.cpp: In function 'QString qEnvironmentVariable(const char*, const QString&)': c:/Users/pyo/Downloads/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3/qtbase/src/corelib/global/qglobal.cpp:3346:49: error: '_wgetenv_s' was not declared in this scope _wgetenv_s(&requiredSize, 0, 0, wname.data()); ^ make.exe: *** [qglobal.o] Error 1 -
On this link the author propose a workaround (although I'm not sure if this workaround is valid for my case).
Anyway I've added this instruction (i.e. defined MINGW_HAS_SECURE_API flag as suggested)
DEFINES += UNICODE _UNICODE WIN32 MINGW_HAS_SECURE_API=1
in ...\win32-g++\qmake.conf
Unfortunately it didn't help -
Well, I reported this issue as bug on
https://bugreports.qt.io/ -
Sounds like something that would not happen on Linux. I have never encountered this error, so I can only wish you luck :D

@Pavel_47 you may want to try this guide, in particular the section to setup Qt Creator

Well, having problem with building toolchain under Windows, I decided to switch to Linux.
But in Linux I've also met problem while configuring Qt. Here is the result if executing ./configure:Project ERROR: Cannot run target compiler 'g++'. Output: =================== Using built-in specs.

Ancient stuff... I hope RPi will update their toolchain finally some day.

Looks like you are not building for ARM. Either wrong toolchain or wrong

Don't rerun configure. Clear your build directory completely and then run configure again. Easiest way to do it is to build outside of source dir.
Also, contrary to what the guide says, it's recommended to build using main configure script, not one located in qtbase. But ignore that for now, let's first get qtbase built :-)

In the manual cleaning is performed with following command
git clean -dfx
In my case I didn't use git because my Linux machine has no connection to internet.
So, I downloaded source in Windows, then moved it to Linux machine.
So, should I just remove bin folder ? -

I'm not 100% sure it will help, but it very well might.

I removed source folder and copied the fresh one.
Then I created new folder fro where I executed configure.
