Qt5.15 compilation for Raspberry Pi 4

Tom_PK

Hello,

I want to compile Qt application for arm from linux in order to use it on my RPI board. For this purpose,
I'm using aarch64 to compile Qt with following command:

../qt-everywhere-src-5.15.0-rc/configure -release -opengl es2 -eglfs -device linux-rasp-pi4-v3d-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/home/tomek/Pulpit/qt-arm/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- -sysroot /home/tomek/sysroot -prefix /usr/local/qt5.15 -opensource -confirm-license -skip qtscript -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebengine -nomake tests -make libs -pkg-config -no-use-gold-linker -v -recheck

but I'm getting an error:

Using built-in specs.

I just saw that you are using an RC, did you try with a recent released version ?

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

AFAIK when there are such messages, it usually means that your version of GCC is too old.

Tom_PK

Thank you for reply!
Actually I've updated my gcc compiler (version 8.4) and downloaded newer version of aarch64 from: https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-a/downloads: this one: gcc-arm-10.2-2020.11-x86_64-aarch64-none-elf.tar.xz , and also tried with compiler: aarch64-linux-gnu-g++-8 installed via Synaptic.
I'm getting an error:

Does It seem like objects are not compiled by properd compiler?

SGaist

Did you restart the process from a clean state ?

Tom_PK

Do you mean if I remove all files from previous configuration process? Yes, I did

SGaist

How did you do that ?

Tom_PK

I've just used rm -I -r * command in build directory. It looks like I cannot run qmake built by configure file with arm compiler, because it is compiled for arm.
I didn't have files from RP in sysroot path before but after adding it, nothing has changed. There is the same error: "Exec format error".

SGaist

So you did not delete the hidden files. That's why I recommend nuking the folder completely.

Tom_PK

Again the same error (" Exec format error ") :/

SGaist

I just saw that you are using an RC, did you try with a recent released version ?

Tom_PK

Sorry, I don't know what RC is.

jsulm

@Tom_PK RC: Release Candidate. Means: it is not official release.

Tom_PK

Ok guys, thank you for your help, it works.
I've downloaded Qt via github from https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#Getting_the_source_code and it is ok.
