-device-option values not being passed during cross compiling
-
Hello, I am trying to cross compile from my Linux Machine (x86-64) for an arm machine. During configure, I am passing in some values using -device-option However, when I try to print those values within the qmake.conf, it does not recognize the values passed in. Below is my configure command with all the configuration options.

For example, I have the command within devices/linux-arm-broadcom-g++/qmake.conf,
isEmpty(PLATFORM_DIR):error("PLATFORM_DIR needs to be set via -device-option PLATFORM_DIR=path.")
And it does print the error which indicates that PLATFORM_DIR is not passed into the configure.
Can you please let me know what I may have missed which is causing these values to not being passed in correctly?

@SGaist Can you help me out with this issue? Since the -device-option variables are not being passed into the mkspecs, none of our compilation options are working.
-
Does it work with a previous version of Qt ?
When doing that kind of test:
- just build qtbase, this will avoid all the skip options that take a lot place and make your configure command hard to read.
- start with the minimal set of options, again your configure line is so long that it is very hard to read.
- group the same options together. You have several -device-option spread through your command.
-
Yes, it does work with the previous version of QT (which is 5.6.0). I will trybuildng with fewer options. Also, I will group the options together and try.
What do you mean by just building qtbase? How do I do that? Right now I am running "configure" script located in qt-everywhere-src-5.15.0 directory. And that script is trying to run the configure script within the qtbase directory.
-
5.6.0 is more that nine release earlier, I meant 5.14.2 or the latest 5.12.
Call the configure script that is in qtbase.
