in Host

Do you run your app from QtCreator remotely on your device?

[dziko147]

@jsulm Yes

[jsulm]

@dziko147 OK, then check config.log from your Qt build to see why XCB plug-in was not enabled.

[dziko147]

@jsulm you mean in my host machine ?

[jsulm]

@dziko147 Yes. I guess you cross compiled Qt on your host machine?

[dziko147]

@jsulm exact .
I checked my config.log
I found this :

I checked my config.log
I found this :

What does it say about the xcb library? Does that give you any clues?

[dziko147]

@JKSH there is no xcb plugin/lib .
So Can I install it independently

[jsulm]

@dziko147 What @JKSH means (I guess) is this:

None of [libxcb.so libxcb.a] found in [] and global paths

So, it seems that your sysroot does not contain libxcb and libxcb-dev.
Install that lib package and its dev package in your sysroot and build XCB plug-in.

[dziko147]

@jsulm there is no tutoriel or example to use it ?

Hi,

The usual way is to install all the dependencies dev packages on your target and copy the root file system back on your host machine for use with your cross-compiler.
