[SOLVED] Compiling QT5 on Raspberry Pi 2

[Iredan]

Hi there

I'm following the wiki article Native Build of QT 5.4.1 on a Raspberry Pi 2 and I seem to have run into problems while configuring. I get an error at the end saying that the QT folder is not a file and cannot be read. I also seem to get some other symlink related errors in the config.out file, but as I'm a bit of a noob, I'm not really sure what to do about it. I've followed the wiki exactly as written and I'm working a clean updated version of Raspbian. I've included the contents of config.out below. I'd be really grateful for any help!! Note: I had to add the flag -qreal float due to some error about doubles and QT5.

Edit: the file is too long to post so I've posted the start and the end. If you need more, just say!

Actually I fixed it. Turns out it was a corrupted tarball. I compared the downloaded file's size to the online version and it was smaller by quite a bit. So I started all over again with a clean install of Raspbian and now it's compiling away. Sorry for the silly question!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Glad you found out and thanks for sharing your findings.

Since you have it working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
