gmake: *** [Makefile:384: qutfcodec.o] Error 1

[Buket]

Hello everyone,I have an ARM-based (Rockchip RK3288, ARM Cortex-A17 CPU, Mali-T760 MP4 (T764) GPU)motherboard and I want to cross-compile using it. I use Debian 9 as the operating system on this card, and I use Ubuntu 21.04 on the host PC. For cross-compile, I use tinkerboard's qmake.conf file, which is the same hardware. But this is the first time I got such an error. I can't find the source of the error either. Anyone have any ideas?

./configure command:

../qt-everywhere-src-5.14.0/configure -release -opengl es2 -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -confirm-license -device linux-tinkerboard-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=~/tinker/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot ~/tinker/sysroot -prefix /usr/local/qt5li -extprefix ~/tinker/qt5 -hostprefix ~/tinker/qt5-host -no-use-gold-linker -v

@Buket said in gmake: *** [Makefile:384: qutfcodec.o] Error 1:

gcc-linaro-7.5.0

You should consider getting newer compiler.

[Buket]

@jsulm
I searched but there is this toolchain as the newest. If you don't mind, could you send me a newer toolchain link?

Edit:
Using a different version toolchain did not solve the problem and when I looked at the linaro releases, I saw that this was the most up-to-date toolchain. Can't there be another reason?

I'm also having the same issue, which came up when cross-compiling Qt5 with Ubuntu and Raspberry

[Christian Ehrlicher]

numeric_limits is defined in std namespace so you should try if including the correct header helps.
