<![CDATA[Cross Compilation Qt6.3.1 for Raspberry Pi 4]]>Hi, I'm trying to cross compile Qt6.3.1 for Raspberry Pi 4. I am following this guide https://wiki.qt.io/Cross-Compile_Qt_6_for_Raspberry_Pi.

I have got this working previously with a Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye install but now it is not working and I haven't changed anything particularly.

I have gotten several different issues that I've pushed past through. I will list some of them for context and if anyone has answers towards:

  1. Toolchain.cmake does not work with Linaro aarch64 compilers, but it works with the gcc arm compilers installed through apt repository.

  2. I tried to compile with target ARM Ubuntu 20.04 Server version as well but that was also unsuccessful.

  3. When it was working previously, I could only use LinuxFB. For some reason EGLFS was not working.

  4. This is my current blocking issue. Using TARGET: Raspberry Pi Bullseye Sysroot and HOST: Ubuntu 20.04 x86.
    After successfully configuring, but then it fails during building.

This could happen when the libdbus inside the initial sysroot is not a dynamically shared objects. This is normally fixable by doing a clean reinstall of Raspberry Pi OS (reformat microSD card, then install Raspberry Pi OS again through the Imager). Another recommendation is to try to reinstall libdbus-1-dev package. But if the problem persists and you don't need dbus, you can disable the dbus feature by adding -DFEATURE_dbus=OFF flag in the CMake configuration command.

Another walkaround worth trying is to change

from:

set(QT_LINKER_FLAGS "-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed")

to:

set(QT_LINKER_FLAGS "-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed -ldbus-1")

Additionally make sure that link to rpi-sysroot/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so is valid. It should be linking to libdbus-1.so.3.19.13 in the same directory.

Note: You'll need DBus to have Bluetooth module working.
