    @Hupe
    first of all see this:
    https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-requirements.html

    Also Qt creates a small test application and tries to compile it in order to check if all libs are present.
    This for example is for the "tests.xcb_syslibs":
    https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/gui/configure.json?h=5.15.2#n1057

    So you need to have the following libs installed:

    "use": "xcb_icccm xcb_util xcb_image xcb_keysyms xcb_randr xcb_render xcb_renderutil xcb_shape xcb_shm xcb_sync xcb_xfixes xcb_xinerama xcb_xkb xcb"

      It does not matter at all what you install on your host machine. As you are cross compiling you need the lib in your sysroot.

        a sysroot is not necessarily needed, since the "arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++" compiler selects the libraries automatically from the armhf lib paths.

        its mandatory that you install the armhf packages.
        This means you need to install it like this:

        libfontconfig1-dev:armhf libfreetype6-dev:armhf ...

        Is this the case?
        The way you listed the packages would install the host variants of the packages (probably amd64?)

          I have installed these packages in my rootfs and selected it as my sysroot. But compile with qt still failed with the same error.

            It seems that my repository doesn't have a version of armhf. Do you know which repository could install armhf version on the X86 host machine?

              what is your host system? Ubuntu/Debian?
              see https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

              i personally prefer building Qt in a docker image. This way you have a (reusable) closed environment with all you need without messing with your host environment.

              For a debian based image the following should be enough:

              dpkg --add-architecture armhf
              apt update
              apt -y install mypackage-dev:armhf ....
              apt clean
              

              What is the target OS on the device?

                I tried to install the development kits as you said, But apt returned an error to install these armhf packages. My host machine runs an Ubuntu 20.04. Now I am trying to start a Debian container to do this.

                          the repo urls you posted with the errors contain "bionic" (Ubuntu 18.04), but yousaid you are running 20.04, so there is your issue i guess.

                          This is my (minimal) working "/etc/apt/sources.list" with armhf repos for Ubuntu 20.04:

                          backup your old sources.list, replace it with that one and run "apt update" again

                            thanks,I have added armhf source with ubuntu-ports successful. I installed armhf dependencies listed in [https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git](link URL) both in the host machine and target machine. Now the -lxcb can be found, But config still fail with error :

                              I could find X11/Xlib-xcb.h manually:

                              :/usr/include# find ./ -name Xlib-xcb.h

                              And I found a lot of missing header files in config.log:

                              I wonder is there any pre-config that should do for pkg-config?

                                I wonder is there any pre-config that should do for pkg-config?

                                back to the start. please show your Qt configure line.

                                PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/home/matinal/workstation/rk-source/rk3288-linux/linux/ubuntu/binary

                                did you specify a sysroot? if so the libs should be contained in the sysroot, which they are not by simply installing it on your host system of course.

                                    I don't know what that global in "not found in [] and global paths" mean. I checked the config.log and found that pkg-config finds the include directory correctly. The problem is that the global path seems to be null. Should I add the include path of sysroot to the environment of my host machine? I will try to set the environment both of my host machine and my target sysroot. Hope it will work.

                                      I could find X11/Xlib-xcb.h manually:

                                      :/usr/include# find ./ -name Xlib-xcb.h
                                      ./X11/Xlib-xcb.h
                                      

                                      And I found a lot of missing header files in config.log:

                                      this is the host version (outside of your specified sysroot).

                                      Do you really need a sysroot? Either use the sysroot to get your libs or the armhf ones installed on the host. But a mixture of both wont work.

                                        I found these header files in my specified sysroot after running chroot. I use sysroot because compiling webengine needs pkg-config which requires sysroot.
                                        The problem I encountered now is that config-test can't search my sysroot as a default path automatically. That is, the "global paths" in "X11/Xlib-xcb.h not found in [] and global paths." seems not to include the PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/home/matinal/workstation/rk-source/rk3288-linux/linux/ubuntu/binary
                                        Besides, I added my sysroot include directory```
                                        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/matinal/workstation/rk-source/rk3288-linux/linux/ubuntu/binary/usr/include

                                          I found these header files in my specified sysroot after running chroot. I use sysroot because compiling webengine needs pkg-config which requires sysroot.
                                          The problem I encountered now is that config-test can't search my sysroot as a default path automatically. That is, the "global paths" in "X11/Xlib-xcb.h not found in [] and global paths." seems not to include the PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/home/matinal/workstation/rk-source/rk3288-linux/linux/ubuntu/binary
                                          Besides, I added my sysroot include directory```
                                          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/matinal/workstation/rk-source/rk3288-linux/linux/ubuntu/binary/usr/include

                                          @Hupe said in Cross compile Qt with -xcb failed:

                                          I found these header files in my specified sysroot after running chroot.

                                          i still dont get it.
                                          you chroot into your sysroot?! If so, this is wrong in so many ways...

                                          I use sysroot because compiling webengine needs pkg-config which requires sysroot.

                                          i cross-compiled Qt (incl. webengine) quite a few times now, and i never used a sysroot.

                                          Besides, I added my sysroot include directory```
                                          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/matinal/workstation/rk-source/rk3288-linux/linux/ubuntu/binary/usr/include

                                          LD_LIBRARY_PATH isnt used to specify include directories, but rather to find libs during runtime (by the runtime linker)!
