Cross Compile Qt for RPI on OSX

[metRo_]

Hello,
I was trying to cross compile qt to use with RPI on OSX but I can't do ./configure as said on the tutorial: http://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS

Joses-MacBook-Pro:qtbase ze$ ./configure -release -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=~/raspi/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot ~/raspi/sysroot -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -prefix /usr/local/qt5pi -extprefix ~/raspi/qt5pi -hostprefix ~/raspi/qt5 -v

Hi,

Your cross-compiler is not built for OS X but for Linux. You have two options:

1. Use a Linux Virtual machine using e.g. Virtual Box
2. Find a cross-compiler for OS X. You can try this one
