Unsolved Cross compile gets stuck on "Running configuration tests"

[Jinxvar]

Hi, I have been following this guide Raspberry pi 2 embedded Qt cross compile to get Qt 5.5.0 working.

However, when I follow the guide it keeps getting stuck at "Running configuration tests" and never finishes.

Any1 any idea?

best regards,
Jinx.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Make the configure process verbose (add -v to configure) to see what is happening

Hi, thx 4 getting back 2 me so fast! :)
I already did a verbose, below is the output I'm getting. Is there anything that could break this? I'm kinda new to this.

Below is the entire output from mingw32 (msys)

$ ../qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0/configure -verbose -platform win32-g++

Which edition of Qt do you want to use ?

Type 'c' if you want to use the Commercial Edition.
Type 'o' if you want to use the Open Source Edition.

Did you first try without verbose ?

[Jinxvar]

Yes, same behaviour

I wonder if it's a Windows version problem. I'd check with the author of the guide to ensure you are working with the same tools.

[Jinxvar]

Hi, just to let you know. Eventually I did a local build of Qt 5.5 on the Raspberry Pi itself. It took about 1041 minutes, but is working fine now! :)

Too bad you couldn't make it work on Windows…

If you need more raw power to develop your applications, one alternative is to have a virtual machine with a Linux distribution for the cross-compilation part.

In any case, happy coding ! :)
