    yes, cross compilation means that you build on host but for target device

            No, it is only required to build Qt documentation which you do not need to run Qt applications.

            "If I want QDoc means,what I do for this?" - read the warning - it already suggests what to do...

                Do you see any? I don't.
                So just do:

                make install

                        @Asha You can't execute your cross compiled app on your host, run it on your device.

                                for that error..

                                I am not enabled the eglfs while configuring qt5..

                                while configuring I mentioned -no-egl and -no-eglfs is that any issues?...(I thought this is is issue ,while configuring i have to give -qt-egl ang -qt-eglfs)

                                If this might be the issue ,then how to overcome with this...

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

                                      I want to know how to run it on my device

                                      You can manually copy it to your device and start there.
                                      Back to QtCreator: does it deploy your app to your device and start it there?
                                      Did you copy your cross compile Qt to the device or do you deploy your app to the device with all needed Qt libraries?

                                      The error message in QtCreator means that you're trying to start your app using eglfs as backend but the eglfs plugin was not found. Did you build it?

                                      "while configuring I mentioned -no-egl and -no-eglfs is that any issues?" - which backend do you want to use? Do you use X11 on your device or something else?

                                      And please be more patient: people here are volinteers helping in their own time and they do not live all in the same time-zone as you.
