Installing (make) Qt 4.8 from source stops

[branko]

More than an hour long process of installing (make within qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/) stops (no writings out). Last representative rows were:

make[3]: Leaving directory /home/branko/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/examples/animation/appchooser' cd easing/ && make -f Makefile make[3]: Entering directory /home/branko/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/examples/animation/easing'
/home/branko/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/bin/qmake -spec ../../../mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -o Makefile easing.pro
make[3]: Leaving directory /home/branko/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/examples/animation/easing' make[3]: Entering directory /home/branko/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/examples/animation/easing'
/home/branko/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/bin/uic form.ui -o .uic/release-shared-emb-arm/ui_form.h

After hitting Ctrl+C I get following lines:

make[3]: *** Deleting file `.uic/release-shared-emb-arm/ui_form.h'
make[3]: *** [.uic/release-shared-emb-arm/ui_form.h] Interrupt
make[2]: *** [sub-easing-make_default] Interrupt
make[1]: *** [sub-animation-make_default] Interrupt
make: *** [sub-examples-make_default-ordered] Interrupt

What could be the reason for this? Is this normal that the compiling takes so long? Did it run out of resources?

Looking forward for your suggestions,
Branko

If you do not need examples, you can skip them by passing -nomake examples to configure script.

Please tell us the compiler you are using, OS version, and the flags you have invoked configure with.

Qt is a big piece of software, so compilation can indeed take a long time. For me, on Linux, it takes about 30 minutes, but I am compiling with 9 threads. On Windows it takes much longer.

Hi,

To add to sierdzio, it's even more true if you are building webkit

Ah, indeed, I often skip that module completely.

My developing environement:

• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (VirtualBox hosted on Windows)
• arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabihf-g++ (OSELAS.Toolchain-2012.12.1 linaro-4.7-2012.11) 4.7.3 20121106 (prerelease)
• sudo ./configure -v -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -embedded arm -little-endian -host-big-endian -prefix /home/phytec/qt4.8-arm

Well, I just want to test finally if my app works on the target. So I could skip examples and wbkit. Is it done so?

-nomake examples -nomake webkit ?Ž!

-nomake demos -nomake examples -no-webkit

Please check the web kit flag by passing --help to configure. It has changed in Qt 5 and I am not sure how it was in Qt 4.
