      Hi
      I would like to compile QT 4.7 to arm tegra board.
      I have download QT 4.7 and run this command
      ./configure –platform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++
      And I get this error
      g++: arm-linux-gnueabi-g++: No Such file or directory.
      I update the path with the relevant directory the crosscompile located.
      If I write this command this command in the shell
      arm-linux-gnueabi-g++
      the output is : no input files
      so it's seems the path is correct
      How can I solve this problem
      Kani

        Hi kani,

        Try the following:

        @
        ./configure -platform linux-g++ -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++
        @

        If you are not on Linux, adjust the platform parameter accordingly =)

            This is the configure line used to build Qt for ARM here, the only difference is that here I build Qt for symbian/linux-gcce.

            The binaries (e.g. qmake, moc) will be compiled to x86 so you can run them in your system, but they will generate binaries for ARM.

            EDIT: Qt libs itself will be built for ARM.

              I did this to compile for BeagleBoard (arm):

              • install beagleboard's tool-chain in /usr/local/angstrom (you must install your where you want)

              • extract qt 4.7 source

              • in the source edit mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/qmake.conf remove the content and put:

              @

              QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O3 -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp
              QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE

              include(../../common/g++.conf)
              include(../../common/linux.conf)
              include(../../common/qws.conf)

              modifications to g++.conf

              QMAKE_CC = /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc
              QMAKE_CXX = /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++
              QMAKE_LINK = /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++
              QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB = /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++

              modifications to linux.conf

              QMAKE_AR = /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ar cqs
              QMAKE_OBJCOPY = /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-objcopy
              QMAKE_STRIP = /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-strip

              load(qt_config)
              @

              You must replace /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin with your toolchain path and use the right binary (for example your cross-tool gcc should be arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ or arm-linux-g++ ecc... )

              • ./configure -opensource -confirm-license -no-qt3support -release -nomake examples -nomake demos -embedded arm -little-endian -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -prefix /opt/qt4-4.7.0-beagle -qt-gfx-vnc

              • make

              • make install (as root)

                  Thanks for the replays
                  IN qt 4.7 I didn't find any xplatform or -embedded parameters in configuration help.
                  I have tried ./configure -platform linux-g++ -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++
                  but all the bin and lib where compiled to x86 and not arm.
                  Any others ideas? how to compile it to ARM env nvida tegra board

                    Qt 4.7 has this parameter. Maybe it is not listed in --help, but it's another topic.

                    Check if your linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ is in your PATH. Also, take a look if there are other variables to adjust; you can find it in mkspec/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++/qmake.conf

                      I was able to compile a test app for arm in the same shell. so linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ is the path, but for some reason i get the error
                      arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ the output is : no input files
