Cross-compile Qt build problem (host : linux x86_64, target : arm)
-
Hi,
I would like to build Qt libs for an arm architecture but I encounter strange problem.
I first adapted my mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/qmake.conf file so that my arm-gcc cross-compiler is correclty used.
Here is a copy of my qmake.conf file :
@
include(../../common/g++.conf)
include(../../common/linux.conf)
include(../../common/qws.conf)modifications to g++.conf
#QMAKE_CC = arm-linux-gcc
#QMAKE_CXX = arm-linux-g++
#QMAKE_LINK = arm-linux-g++
#QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB = arm-linux-g++QMAKE_CC = arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc
QMAKE_CXX = arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++
QMAKE_LINK = arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++
QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB = arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++modifications to linux.conf
#QMAKE_AR = arm-linux-ar cqs
#QMAKE_OBJCOPY = arm-linux-objcopy
#QMAKE_STRIP = arm-linux-stripQMAKE_AR = arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ar cqs
QMAKE_OBJCOPY = arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objcopy
QMAKE_RANLIB = arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlib
@Here are the binaries of my cross-compiler :
@
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-addr2line arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gprof arm-none-linux-gnueabi-readelf
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ar arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld arm-none-linux-gnueabi-size
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-as arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.3.2 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-nm arm-none-linux-gnueabi-sprite
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-c++ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcov arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objcopy arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strings
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-c++filt arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objdump arm-none-linux-gnueabi-strip
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-cpp arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdbtui arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlib
@Then I typed this command to configure :
@
./configure --prefix=/home/azmodai/devel/friendlyarm/mini2440-bootstrap/arm-2008q3 -opensource -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -no-cups -no-webkit -qt-libtiff -qt-libmng -qt-mouse-pc -no-mouse-linuxtp
@Everything is Ok up to now, but when I launch the building by typing make, I get this error about 10 or 15 mins later :
@

@It looks to be a link problem. about a wrong format of binary ...
Last thing : I decide to remove the "-m64" flags of the linux-x68_64-g++ specs, and I did not replace -m64 by the non-updated equivalent, because I did not the equivalent.
Have you ever experienced such a problem ? And have you any idea ?
Thanks a lot !

When I build for ARM, I add these flags:
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O2 -march=armv5te (your arch may be different)
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = -O3 -march=armv5teI also add the include paths to QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE, QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE. Check your QMAKE_LIBDIR, QMAKE_INCDIR, and QMAKE_LFLAGS variables too.

It seems the libbootstrap.a has incorrect format. Can you verify what options it was built with?

Hi,
Actually, What is the target, that you are working/going to get the Qt for.
Are you working on any significant OMAP or what else.
Because there are particular spec files for particular OMAPs.Try to check them...

Hi,
this page definitely solve your problem, there is also a instruction to config the file qmake.conf
