Cross compiling qt for arm

[VAMSIkrishna]

Hi,

I am trying to cross compile qt 5.9.1 for arm i am getting the following error while configuring

here is the configure command used
./configure -xplatform /home/user/J6+Backup/rootfs/usr/share/qt5.7.1/mkspecs/linux-arm-gnueabihf-g++ -prefix /home/user/qtbin/Qt5.9.1 -platform linux-g++ -confirm-license -opensource -sysroot /home/user/qtcross/tisdk-rootfs-image-dra7xx-evm -no-compile-examples -nomake tests -nomake examples -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtwebengine -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtlocation

please help in resolving this issue.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What cross-compiler are you using ?

You seem be mixing two different versions of Qt: 5.7.1 and 5.9.1 which is not a good idea.

[VAMSIkrishna]

tried by giving the below modified configure command but got the same error

./configure -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabihf-g++ -prefix /home/user/qtbin/Qt5.9.1 -platform linux-g++ -confirm-license -opensource -sysroot /home/user/qtcross/tisdk-rootfs-image-dra7xx-evm -no-compile-examples -nomake tests -nomake examples -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtwebengine -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtlocation

[VAMSIkrishna]

sry not the above one

./configure -xplatform /home/user/qtcrosscompile/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.1/qtbase/mkspecs/linux-arm-gnueabihf-g++ -prefix /home/user/qtbin/Qt5.9.1 -platform linux-g++ -confirm-license -opensource -sysroot /home/user/qtcross/tisdk-rootfs-image-dra7xx-evm -no-compile-examples -nomake tests -nomake examples -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtwebengine -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtlocation

@VAMSIkrishna I don't know if you are targeting a Raspberry PI, but this link could give you some helpful information about cross-compiling to ARM ==> Cross-Compile QT 5.12.3 / Raspberry Pi 3

I am corss compiling it for Ti J6+ @KroMignon
