Qt4 Cross compile Error

[programsc]

I had an error while building qt to send E-mail using SMTP in Qt on Arm Board.
We proceeded as follows. What's the problem?

1. Download openssl (Openssl ver: 1.1.1d)

2. Openssl cross compile
   ./Configue linux-arm4 -march=armv5te shared --cross-complie-prifix=/home/use/Toolchain/gcc-4.4.4-glibc-2-11.1-multilib-1.0/arm-fsl-linux/arm- linux- --prefix=/home/use/build_openssl

3. build OK (create /home/use/build_openssl/lib/libcrypto.so and /home/use/build_openssl/lib/libssl.so)

4. qt4.8.7 build in QT_Source folder.
   ./configue --prefix=/home/use/qt_build -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -release -opensource -shared -confirm-license -no-largefile -no-accessibility -no-qt3support - no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-phonon -no-webkit -no-javascript-jit -no-script -no-scripttools -no-declarative -no-declarative-debug -system-zlib -system-libpng - system-libjpeg -no-libtiff -no-libtiff -no-libmng -no-gif -nis -no-cups -qt-mouse-tslib -nomake demos -nomake examples -qt-gfx-transformed -qt-freetype -v - svg -optimized-qmake -no-pch -no-nis OPENSSL_LIB="-L/home/use/build_openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto" -openssl-linked

5. An error occurred during Qt Build

@programsc No, what I mean: delete the whole build folder and start from scratch

@programsc said in Qt4 Cross compile Error:

Openssl ver: 1.1.1d

I don't think Qt4 supports OpenSSL 1.1.
You should use 1.0 or even older (according to https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/requirements.html >= 0.9.7, but 1.1 will for sure not work as it is not compatible with 1.0).

thank you for your reply
Openssl was restarted using 1.0.2u, but the following error occurred.

make[1]: exit directory '/home/gene/share_folder/QT4.8.7_with_Openssl/QT_Source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7/src/xml'

@programsc You should complete clean rebuild

[programsc]

@jsulm

Yes, i proceeded with make after make clean

[jsulm]

@programsc No, what I mean: delete the whole build folder and start from scratch

@jsulm
Thank you
