Unable to compile hello-qtonpi project with Qt Creator !

[shantanu]

Hello everyone !
This is my first post in this forum ! :)
I have installed the setup required to deploy Qt apps to Raspberry pi :
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Create
When I first tried to 'build all' , it was giving following errors :

@I/opt/qt5/include/QtXmlPatterns -I/opt/qt5/include/QtQml -I/opt/qt5/include/QtDeclarative -I/opt/qt5/include/QtQuick -I../hello-qtonpi -I/opt/qtonpi/armv5tel-qtonpi-linux-gnueabi/sys-root/opt/vc/include -I. -I. -o main.o ../hello-qtonpi/main.cpp

19:42:15: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2.
Error while building project hello-qtonpi (target: Desktop)
When executing build step 'Make'@

Then I downloaded and installed glibc-2.11.2 in my home dir. After added that path in project-->Build-Settings-->Build Environment--> LD_LIBRARY_PATH. After doing this It is not giving previous error but the new one :(

@19:24:56: Running build steps for project hello-qtonpi...
19:24:56: Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.
19:24:56: Starting: "/usr/bin/make" -w
19:24:56: The process "/usr/bin/make" crashed.

Could anyone please guide me since I am totally new to Qt and its SDK....

Hi Shantanu,

Welcome to the forum.

The link you use is obsolete. I recommend not to use it therefore. (I will add a remark on top of that page)

Try the "Beginner’s guide to cross-compile Qt5 on RaspberryPi":http://qt-project.org/wiki/RaspberryPi_Beginners_guide

Let us know how it went. I'm planning to follow this tutorial also the next few days ;-)

Updating glibc like that is bound to cause crashes:-) Get a tool chain that works for your machine instead.

Thanks Eddy and Tobias !

Yesterday night I got it worked with my laptop which has latest tool-chain. (But haven't deployed it to RPi since I don't have necessary setup there). So I need to configure it for my work PC which has GLIBC 2.10.
As I mentioned, I also installed glibc 2.11.2 but it's not working with that installation. Any help with it ?

Also I will try the new link.... (? can I use Arch Linux there instead of Raspbian)

Here's a link to a Wheezy distro and qt5 I got working and now fully operational.
I created a new user in Ubuntu and had to rerun the ./bakeqtpi.bash script several times to get it to finish. It stops on several errors. Make sure you create the opt directory in your home directory first and start there.

I skipped the SetFile stuff as that is only necessary on Apple. So make sure you have an sd card ready as it creates the the environment on it.

I am now happily developing and running a large Qt program on the PI with all the debugging stuff of Qt Creator.

Hope it works for you.

Thank you for such an enthusiastic reply Pierre !
I'll work on it tomorrow and let you all know the status ! :)

Hello forum,
I followed exact instructions mentioned on the page, but again something is going wrong. :(

Firstly in 'getting started section' the instruction was not getting executed
@git fetch https://codereview.qt-project.org/p/qt/qtjsbackend\ refs/changes/56/27256/4 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
fatal: Cannot find 'FETCH_HEAD'@

So I neglected it, since the first part of the command got executed
then, in 'Compile Qt base' section
when I gave

make -j 4

I got this error
@../../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/plugin/quuid.h: In constructor ‘QUuid::QUuid(uint, ushort, ushort, uchar, uchar, uchar, uchar, uchar, uchar, uchar, uchar)’:

make[1]: *** [sub-tools-make_first] Error 2

@

what may be the flaw ?
