Can't configure qmake for cross compilation
-
I'm trying to build an application for my linux embedded device on the STM32MP1 hardware.
The easiest way to this is to use the meta-qt5 layer provided by the Qt team for Yocto, then deploy the SDK and configure it in my QtCreator.
However I'm curious about how to set up the IDE if I don't have a deployed SDK or for example if I wanted to use Qt6 libraries instead.
I have my toolchain, directly from ARM. None of the prebuilt binaries matches my setup, so I have to configure this manually. I can configure the 'device', the compilers and debugger. But I can't start developing because I don't have a qmake, even though I could compile it from the source code for later use. It makes no sense, the IDE should know that if there's no qmake, then it should compile it with the given toolchain.
