    Hi,

    Did you install the build-essential package ?

            Please show some patience. This forum is user driven. People answer here on a voluntary basis. They may also not live in the same time zone as you.

            As for your issue, please post the complete configure line you used. Please past it here as text, having an image makes it difficult to read and test locally.

            Also, what cross-compiler are you using ?
            Did you clean up properly before restarting ?
            Are you using an out of source build ?

              Sorry for the hurry...

              The configure line is:

              ./configure -platform linux-g++ -release -device linux-beagleboard-g++ -sysroot /home/beagle/BBB/sysroot -prefix /home/debian/Qt5ForBBB1 -hostprefix ~/Qt5ForBBB1 -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/home/beagle/BBB/gcc-linario-6.3.1-2017.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -nomake tests -nomake examples -no-opengl -opensource -confirm-license -reduce-exports -make libs -no-egl -no-eglfs -qt-zlib -qtlibpng -no-use-gold-linker -linuxfb -qt-libjpeg -no-openssl -no-cups -no-glib -no-iconv -nomake examples -nomake tools -nomake tests -no-pkg-config -skip qtdeclaritive -skip qtlocation -skip qtpurchasing -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qt webglplugin -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtgamepad -skip qtmacextras -skip qtwinextras -skip qtsensors -skip qtconnectivity -recheck-all -v

              Cross compiler is : ARM

              I cleaned using : "sudo apt-get clean"
              is it correct or any other method to clean?

              I am not understood about the last question,out of source build...

              (I am not able to login qt forum in my laptop,so I am uploading the screenshots sorry for this).....

                @Asha said in you don't seem to have 'make' or 'qmake' in your PATH:

                I cleaned using : "sudo apt-get clean"

                you need to clean the source tree, not apt:

                make clean
                

                Better is to do out of source builds: that just mean that you create a build directory, go to that directory and call configure from there.

                mkdir build_qt
                cd build_qt
                ../qt5_sourcecode/configure...

                  @jsulm

                  when I am giving the make clean

                  The result is:

                  make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop

                  Yes,I created the build directory qt-5.13 and calling ./configure there it self..

                    So, what happens now? Does configure succeed? Did you try to build?

                        @Asha If you call ./configure then you're NOT doing out of source build!
                        Please read once more what I wrote before:

                            @Asha qt5_sourcecode is just a placeholder for the directory where you extracted Qt source code, replace it with the name of your Qt source code directory...
                            configure is what it is - configure command in Qt source code directory.

                            I explain this approach once more: you do NOT call configure inside the Qt source code directory, but from an empty build directory.

                                @Asha said in you don't seem to have 'make' or 'qmake' in your PATH:

                                After that I replaced it into a directory called qt-5.13(replaced via....mv qt-everywhere-src-5.13.1 ~/qt-5.13)

                                Again, this is not how it works!
                                You do NOT call configure from the source code directory for out of source builds, but from an empty directory!
                                Again:

                                # Create an empty directory:
                                mkdir build_qt
                                # Go to that empty directory:
                                cd build_qt
                                # Call configure from the Qt source code directory:
                                ../qt5_sourcecode/configure...

                                    You need to use complete path (or relative) to configure!

                                    You can use absolute path instead of relative:

                                    PATH_TO_YOUR_QT_SOURCE_DIRECTORY/configure

                                      yes,I gave the hole path /home/beagle/qt-5.13/.configure

                                      its starts configuring but not succeed...

                                      After few minutes its stops with error

                                      /home/beagle/qt-5.13/build_qt/qtbase/bin/qmake: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

                                        but libstdc++.so.6 library is present in my system...

                                        location is:

                                          It needs to be present in your sysroot since you're cross compiling
