Qt Versions - Cygwin-g+

[Helli]

Hi,

I come on this forum after a week of search and try to understand how to fix my issue.
I have install Sysgo ElinOS-6.2 (C:\sysgo\opt\elinos-6.2...) on my computer.
This version of Linux have a version of Qt 5.7.1 and use cygwin.
To be in accordance with the Qt version, I have install Qt 5.7 (C:\Qt...)

My project compile in cygwin with both command :
#qmake-qt5 -o Makefile myprj.pro
#make
But it is not useful to debug my project.

I started to implement the Kits on Qt Creator. Compiler -> OK, Debug -> OK (ABIs : x86-linux-generic-elf-x64).
But the Qt Versions go wrong. Qt found the version : 5.7.1 (qt5) but the ide says to execute make install.
=> Looking on general message I have :
"cannot read /opt/elinos-6.2/cdk/x86/x86_64/glibc-2.24/share/qt5/mkspecs/devices/linux-elinos-g++/qmake.conf : no such file or directory"

when i apply the command qmake -query I have :

$ qmake-qt5 -query

QT_VERSION:5.7.1

I have try the command :
qmake -set / -unset of some properties but nothing change

If I try to open my project, the same qmake.conf can not be read and the .pro file cannot be parsed.

An other way, I change the mkspecs in kit : "c:\sysgo\opt\elinos-6.2\cdk\x86\x86_64\glibc-2.24\share\qt5\mkspecs\linux-g++\qmake.conf"
The .pro file can now be parsed but an other error message come :
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT : core gui widgets network mutlimedia

If I do manual qmake/make in Qt, the project compile correctly.. but don't know Qt module...

I do some other stuff but all comes at this end of full errors.

Is someone can help me ?
Thanks you very much :-).

Hi and welcome to devnet,

If I understand you correctly you want to use the Qt version provided by that distribution you installed so why are you installing another one ?

[Helli]

Hi SGaist,

Yes, I want to use the Qt Version from Sysgo/ElinOS.
The Makefile generated by my command qmake used the compiler from Sysgo/ElinOS.
"c:\sysgo\opt\elinos-6.2\cdk\x86\x86_64\glibc-2.24\bin\x86_x64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc.exe"

I forgot to specify... The binary file go to a target where ElinOS is installed.

[SGaist]

By any chance, does it also provide Qt Creator ? That might be easier to get started.

[Helli]

They don't provide Qt Creator...
Cygwin command provide by Sysgo/ElinOS is poor..
Sysgo does not provide Qt Creator. I tried to install Qt by downloading and run it in cygwin but no success.

I develop in general on Windows 10 with MinGW. For Linux OS I am using VirtualBox to run Ubuntu Desktop with creator. For cross compiling for embedded devices, I do the cross compiling on Ubuntu linux for specific devices. That makes life a lot easier in my opinion. I can run latest Qt creator on Ubuntu and have all the comfort as with Windows 10.

With VirtualBox you can share a part of the disk to make the exchange of code between Windows and Ubuntu easier.
Certainly there are a lot of possibilities to direct cross-compilation for linux on Windows and there are people preferring this. However, there are always some hooks which are avoided when you are going through a VirtualBox.

Hi,

After some research, I have read that qmake.exe can be redirected to a qt.conf file.
But I have some trouble to resolve the path.
When I write : /cygdrive/c/.... => Qt see those path but I have a "cannot read ... : no such file or directory.
When I write : C:/ => the default path come back as /opt/...

EDIT :
I think I can maybe solve something if I can resolve the Cygwin path.
Actually, the bash is in C:/sysgo/bin. And the "root" of cygwin is C:/sysgo.

If I look on all path I see /opt/....
Where /opt is normally C:/sysgo/opt/...

How is it possible to change /opt/ to C:/sysgo/opt as "default" ??

Thanks for help :-)

That's a good question, I think you should contact the Cygwin Qt package maintainer(s). They should be able to help you ore efficiently.
