Compiling my own 32-bit QT 5.12.4 libraries.

[csing]

Hello, I am currently trying to transition from 5.10.1 32 bit to 5.12.4 on linux machines. However, I see that qt doesn't package a 32 bit libraries anymore and I should compile 5.12.4 source for 32-bit libraries. I am having trouble figuring out what steps I need to take to do this. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You have the information in Qt's documentation.

Thank you very much for your help! I ran into another problem while configuring the library. So I did

./configure -platform linux-g++-32 

and this error came up

ERROR: The OpenGL functionality tests failed!
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL[_ES2],
QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL[_ES2] and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL[_ES2] in the mkspec for your platform.

Check config.log for details.

I tried to go into /qtbase/mkspecs/linux-g++-32 to see what I can do but I can't figure it out. I also tried

sudo apt-get build-dep qt5-default

and that didn't work. I am not really sure what to do next?

@csing Did you install the 32bit version of libgl1-mesa-dev package?
You also can add -v parameter to configure call, then you will get more verbose output which can help to identify the problem.

@jsulm thank you very much! I installed the libgl1-mesa-dev but not the libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 previously. It works now :)
