setting up qt with zynq

[elliottal]

Ok, I believe I figured out my problem again but just to answer @SGaist question real quick, I did navigate to the examples directory and found the "clocks.pro" file and ran "qmake clocks.pro" (not sure why those highlighting in blue and displaying as a link) which produced the same error as before but I am about to explain why I think that is.

Im going to go through my process again just to be clear and not sure if it matters but I've been doing this on a standalone linux machine running centos 7 without a network connection.

I installed qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.2 as I have already described. I also downloaded and installed qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.4.2.run which gave me qt creator since i didn't see it when I installed qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.2. I opened qt creator and set it up as I have also already described. So I have two "versions" of qt 5.4.2 installed on my linux machine. one in the install directory and another in Qt5.4.2 directory which has the qtcreator program.

So my first question is does that process sound right to you or am I doing something weird and should have qt creator in my install directory already although I don't see it anywhere in there?

Secondly, and this is where I see my mistake regarding my last post. In the screenshot I provided below, the dropdown menu between projects and the search in examples was set to Qt 5.4.2 GCC 64bit which did show all of the example programs and I had selected one of them and then tried to configure it on my Petalinux kit which was set up to use a different qmake so I believe this is why I saw that error. I can run the example fine when using my desktop kit and don't see the unknown module error.

However, as can be seen in the screenshot I changed the dropdown to use the Qt 5.4.2 (install) location but now there are't any example projects displayed. Again i didn't run -nomake examples, the only options I used were the -xplatform and -prefix when I configured qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.2. Should I be seeing the examples when I have Qt 5.4.2 (install) selected in the dropdown or is this normal?

@elliottal given the scenario that you describe, I think that you may want to install standalone Qt Creator

qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.2

As the name suggests, it's the sources of Qt which is unrelated to installing any pre-built. But that's what you need in order to build Qt yourself.

My question regarding building a project on command line implied that you would use the full path to your cross-compile Qt qmake executable. Otherwise you are likely using your distribution proved Qt.

[elliottal]

@SGaist I have already set the path variable to include the qmake from my install directory.
If I type "qmake -v" in the command line then the output I get is this:

QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.4.2 in /home/dragon/Qt/install/lib

also when I type "which qmake" in the command line the output is:

/home/dragon/install/bin/qmake

So it appears that I am using the correct qmake according to that output.

I did navigate to the examples in my install directory again and found the clocks.pro file. I ran "/home/dragon/Qt/install/qmake clocks.pro" which has given me this output:

"Failure to open file: /home/dragon/Qt/install/examples/declarative/toys/clocks/Makefile
unable to generate makefile for: clocks.pro"

Also just to note I removed my other Qt5.4.2 directory that was installed when i ran qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.4.2.run so now the only qt I have installed is from the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.2 files which I installed to the install folder that I have already mentioned multiple times. I took @Pablo-J-Rogina advice and installed just Qt creator using the link he provided. So now all i have on my computer is qt-creator and qt5.4.2 that I installed in my ~/Qt/install directory.

I did realize that my install directory was owned by root when I ran "ls -l" so I decided to to do a fresh install. I deleted the install directory and installed it again. Now I can see that the files are not owned by root so that should help. I opened up qt creator and made sure all the settings were still good and tried to run an example program, but still there are no example programs that show up when I click the examples button on the welcome screen. I decided to just open the project manually by opening the file in the example project's directory. Build executed with no problems this time which was good, however now when I click the run button I am met with yet another error that says:

/home/dragon/Qt/install/examples/declarative/toys/clocks/clocks: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5declarative.so.5: libQt5declarative.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am trying to research this now but if you could provide any insight that would be helpful.

also I just noticed when I open the QML files and click the "design" button, I'm also getting errors that say cannot open this QML document because of an error in the QML file: Line 0: Unsupported QtQuick version...

thanks again for your time.

libQt5declarative.so.5

Where is that file located ?

[elliottal]

@SGaist It is located in my install directory under install/lib

@elliottal said in setting up qt with zynq:

libQt5declarative.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

it looks like the Qt support libraries aren't available in the library path

[elliottal]

@Pablo-J.-Rogina I thought the same thing and added the install/lib directory to the path but the error still persists.

I also had that kind of problem. One year ago, I try to make Qt environment for Arty Z7-20 Board. last week I try again and find that I try to make new xplatform and inside of qmake.conf I change all the tool chains. ( -gnueabi- -> -gnueabihf-) and do configure command. After that I copy libstdc++* which exists in Xilinx SDK coressponding to -gnueabihf- to installed "lib" ( in my case /usr/lib) and do sucess do run examples ( analogclock) built by config command in Arty Z7-20 Board that use same chip as Your board.
