I need a qmake for the BeagleBone Black

[mzimmers]

Hi, Sajeevan -

Where did you get your cross-development toolchain? If possible, it's probably a good idea to get them from the same location. As the code in my command indicates, I got both from Linaro's site.

Linaro

The toolchain is the 2nd item from the bottom in the list.

Hi Mzimmers,

Thank You very much. I have been searching for sysroot everywhere except in Linaro sight!!

@mzimmers
Hi, maybe can you send me the procedure that you follow to set-up it?

Hi, Dario -

What exactly are you looking for? Post 14 in this topic outlines the steps to get a qmake you can use with the Beaglebone. Let me know if you need more detail on a particular step.

@mzimmers I am really new in this.
I trying to configure Qt to use with the Beaglebone by Cross-compile
I followed some step from several tutorials, but some links are down or are so old, and I get some errors.
I want to compile QT 5.8 because I need to use the Modbus library, But I dont know how to start to set up
1.- I have a computer where I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 on a virtual machine using virtualbox.
2.- I downloaded the lasted toolchain and the sysroot from linaro
What are the next step in detail?
My Beaglebone has the lasted image from the oficial page Debian 8.7 2017-03-19 4GB SD LXQT

I'm sorry for my English, I'm a Spanish speaker.

Hi, Dario -

Unfortunately, I had to rebuild my system this weekend, so I don't have an active BBB configuration right now. If you have the toolchain and sysroot, the next step is to build qmake for BBB. Use the configure command I listed in post #13 in this thread, and then make and make install.

When I get to rebuilding my BBB configuration, I'll be happy to help you more, but it's not a high priority, so it may take me some time.

@mzimmers Hi, would you be able to share the changes you made to qmake.conf? I'm trying to build 5.8 using your instructions above.

[mzimmers]

@sxr3455 I'd like to help, but I haven't touched my BBB in over 3 years, and I can't even find my old work, so I'm afraid I can't help much.

Did you look at this page?

It's out of date, but I recall it being helpful. Good luck.

@mzimmers I am not able to access the link. Do you have a proper working link?

@sxr3455 If you take a closer look at the link @mzimmers posted you will see that there is a typo. Here is correct and working link:

@jsulm doh...that's what happens when I'm rushing. Link is fixed in my post; thanks for catching it, jsulm.
