Can't configure Qt5.6 with cups on beaglenobe black debian jessie

Milad

Hi,
When I want to compile Qt with cups, I get the following errors:

#Note: I mounted the rootfs with sshfs and passed it to -sysroot option in ./configure.

Cups auto-detection... ()

It's complaining about existing some libraries dependencies but i have all of them that location with proper symlinks. seems strange. Any solution to debug this problem?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Might be a silly question but: did you install the corresponding dev packages on your BBB debian ?

Milad

@SGaist
Yes , their all installed by libcups2-dev packege , and for files that caused error:

libgssapi_krb5.so.2
libgnutls-deb0.so.28
libavahi-common.so.3
libavahi-client.so.3
libz.so.1

i have them all exactly in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ of my bbb.
i can admit that i didn't have this problem in debian wheezy (7.x) with same version of Qt 5.6.0 .

SGaist

Silly test: try to run configure with your options and add -L /mnt/bbb/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ (with the space)

Milad

I solved the issue by passing -rpath-link as following paths to linker.

/mnt/bbb/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
/mnt/bbb/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

After some investigations i noticed qt already had this option, so i added this line:
DISTRO_OPTS += deb-multi-arch
to my qtbase/mkspecs/devices/linux-beagleboard-g++/qmake.conf

I think qt's documentation for embedded devices is not complete enough.

BTW: thanks for your help SGaist.

Glad you found out and thanks for sharing !

Are you trying to build the latest version of Qt ?

In any case, since you have it working now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tool" button so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
