Cross compilation on commandline
-
Hi all,
For my project I have a working setup in which I use Buildroot for cross compilation. I've added the needed kit and compilers to QT Creator. This all works as expected.
But now I want to move the building of the project to a Jenkins based CI environment. This is a headless system, and I can't setup QT Creator as I did on my desktop.
I've read several posts/questions about using mkspec files, but are still at a loss, since most are about building QT itself. Since Buildroot already builds QT for me, there is no problem there.
Is there an easy way to adapt a QT Creator project with Cross Compile kit to something that works directly from the commandline using qmake?
Many thanks!

To answer my own question... Simply running "Run qmake" from the creator and looking at the compile output gives enough information!
All files are already in place, and I only need to use the correct qmake version and spec file created by Buildroot.
// This creates the needed Makefile <buildroot-path>/output/host/usr/bin/qmake /path/to/project.pro -spec devices/linux-buildroot-g++ CONFIG+=debug CONFIG+=qml_debug // Which is needed to create all build files for the sub projects make qmake_all // After which the build can simply be run make -j -
Hi,
One thing to look out for:
make -jwill start a build for everything in your project. If it's a small one, that might not be a problem however if you have lots of files then you might starve your machine for resources.
