How can I run qmake tool on target with yocto?

Juni

Hi,

My team is using Petalinux 18.02 which uses Yocto ver.rocko and meta-qt5.

I added IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " packagegroup-qt5-toolchain-target " in local.conf but it did not integrate qmake to target image. Then I modified local.conf one more time and added IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " qtbase-tools " and it did that! So I finally integrated qmake tool on target system.

However, it does not work well...

Its configuration looks invalid and it can't find features, test functions. I'll add a detail below.

# Environment variables

export QTINC="/usr/include/qt5"; 
export QTLIB="/usr/lib/qt5"; 
export QMAKESPEC="/usr/lib/qt5/mkspecs/linux-oe-g++"; 
export QMAKEFEATURES="/usr/lib/qt5/mkspecs/features"; 
export PATH="${QTDIR}:${PATH}"

I know running qmake on target not host is not normal. But our client wants it then I have to do it.

I have been searching a solution in google but I found out nothing...

Is there anyone else has a solution?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Things are not clear from what you posted.

Is PetaLinux running on your target ? It would contradict the use of Yocto.

Also, it's not a good idea to run builds as root.

Hi!
Yes, Petalinux is used for Xilinx SoC embedded system.
Also, embedded system almost uses only one account as root.

Actually, I know this model is not good. So my team was denied but the client strongly wanted it.
Then I have to provide the environment for running qmake on target system to the client.

But, it is really not easy....

Since you have a full Linux on your device, why not install the Qt packages that come with it ?
