what 'am i mising ? tried to add -lpcre to configure but no success, i had similiar error with pthread lib but adding -lpthread to configure fixed it. No success with -lpcre my current configure looks like this:

./configure -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=$RPI_TOOLCHAIN -sysroot $RPI_SYSROOT -opensource -confirm-license -optimized-qmake -reduce-exports -release -make libs -lpthread -gstreamer -lpcre -prefix /usr/local/qt5pi -skip qtwebkit -v

i'am cross compiling for raspberry pi 2 on osx elcapitan, rootfs mounted, toolchain working as i compiled it before without gstreamer.
any help would be appriciated

[SGaist]

Hi,

Is it the system's libpcre ?

[unnamed]

with -system-pcre added to configure i get this:

Do you have the development packages installed on your target ?

when using -system-pcre and sudo ln -s libpcre.so libpcre16.so i'am back to gstreamer error

This post is deleted!

[unnamed]

got it working, i have added -lpcre to pkg-config file o glib :)

[SGaist]

Since you added that symlink, it means that you don't have the pcre dev package installed

[unnamed]

hm you are right but where from do i get libpcre16 ?
after symlinking that lib i can configure but when i do "make" i get error connected with libpcre16 i think

where from can i get libpcre16 ? i'am search using apt-cache search, and thats what i get:
apt-cache search libpcre
clisp-module-pcre - clisp module that adds libpcre support
libpcre++-dev - C++ wrapper class for pcre (development)
libpcre++0 - C++ wrapper class for pcre (runtime)
libpcre-ocaml - OCaml bindings for PCRE (runtime)
libpcre-ocaml-dev - OCaml bindings for PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression)
libpcre3 - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - runtime files <- installed
libpcre3-dbg - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - debug symbols
libpcre3-dev - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - development files <- installed
libpcrecpp0 - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - C++ runtime files
pcregrep - grep utility that uses perl 5 compatible regexes.

[SGaist]

Silly question but did you install these on your host or target ?

[unnamed]

on my target :)

[SGaist]

Did you re-do the configuration after installing the missing dependencies ?

[unnamed]

yes, many times.
every time i change something in my setup i do
make clean
new ./configure command to try with different options
make

[SGaist]

make clean is not enough, you need to start from a clean state.

I recommend out of source builds so when something goes wrong you can just nuke the folder and you don't pollute the sources.

[unnamed]

ok, i'am going to try today, so i need to remove whole Src folder, redownload and rerun whole process ?

//edit
same thing happened. i have completly removed Src folder, and redownloaded it with qt "maintaince tool"
i'am stuck at:

What distribution are you running on your Pi ?

[unnamed]

newest jessie

hmm i searched my mac for pcre libs as i think that something confuses qt and i found one occurence of libpcre16 located in /brew2/local/Cellar/pcre
its dependency for something installed via homebrew
is it possible that its source of my failures ? :)

[SGaist]

That possibly can interfere. Note that I'm more used to cross-compilation from Linux host. It make things way easier.

[unnamed]

after 2 weeks got it working... tried on my macbook air with almost clean el capitan :)
to many libs, projects, work stuff on my mac pro and i can't find the problem, maybe something connected to homebrew (something like apt-get in linux) installations.

for anyone who stumble upon this thread that should be a good lesson -> clean system = simple compilation :)

thanks for help SGaist :)

[SGaist]

Good !

You're welcome !
