QT5.7.0 cross compile information for NVIDIA TK1

NTNman

Dear All.

Recently, I am testing QT5.7.0 in the TK1 board.
But I couldn't set up the QT5.7.

Below contents is procedure for me.

<< HostPC - Ubuntu 14.04 64bit >>

Install JetPack-L4T-2.2.1-linux-x64.run. for TK1 board.
Download QT5.7 (qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0.tar.gz)
QT configure
./configure -opengl es2 -nomake tests -no-xcb -device linux-jetson-tk1-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -make libs -opensource -confirm-license -release -v
QT make and make install
make && sudo make install
qmake path = /usr/local/Qt-5.7.0/bin

<< target board - NVIDIA TK1 >>

Download QT5.7 (qtbase-opensource-src-5.7.0.tar.gz) - [ everywhere source is too big. -> no space left on device. ]
QT configure
./configure -opengl es2 -nomake tests -no-xcb -nomake examples
QT make and make install
make && sudo make install
qmake path = /usr/local/Qt-5.7.0/bin

But I couldn't install QT for Host PC or Target board.
There are errors in make sequence.
Anyway, I want to use QT 5.7 or QT 5.6 in TK1 board.
If i have wrong things, let me know it.
Or If you have any good informations, let me know it, too.

Please help me.
Thanks.

NTNman.

How should this work?
Didn't you already build Qt for the target board in the first step with ./configure -opengl es2 -nomake tests -no-xcb -device linux-jetson-tk1-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -make libs -opensource -confirm-license -release -v
To install it on the target board you need to copy the built binaries (libraries) to the target board.

NTNman

@jsulm
Thanks for kind reply.

You means

I install QT 5.7 in my HOST PC.
And then I must copy(flash) the built binaries(with libraries) to target board.

Is it right?
Thanks.

jsulm

@NTNman Yes. In the first step you built Qt for your target board. To use Qt on the board you need to copy all needed binaries from that build to the board.
In the second step you built Qt for your host PC. This build is only needed if you want to build your application for your host PC and it cannot be used on your target board as it is for a different architecture.

It is enougth to compile Qt once with Cross-Compiler on your host PC.

You should specify the '-prefix' option, e.g. as '-prefix /opt/qt'
You should specify an '-sysroot' option with a path to your Tegra's rootfs, e.g. '-sysroot /mnt/tegra-rootfs'
Your Tegra's rootfs should contains all desired dev-packages and there should be fixed some symlinks to system shared libraries (say "hello" and "thanks" to Ubuntu).

There are a two ways to install this additional packages to your rootfs:

Install them on Tegra board directly, and then clone Tegra's rootfs from yout Tegra board to your Host PC, using rsync utility
Install them using qemu on your Host PC.

After cross-compilation, you should install your Qt's binaries to rootfs, just call "sudo make install". In this case your Tegra's rootfs will contain the Qt e.g. in rootfs/opt/qt directory
Use rsync to clone rootfs/opt/qt directory back to your Tegra's board, e.g. to same location /opt/qt.

Dear Kuzulis.
Thanks for your kind reply.

Now, I trying to test by your comments.
But. there are errors for below comments.

I am trying to find out the solution.
If you have any information or solution, let me know it.
Thank you very much.

@NTNman Qt 5.7 requires a C++ compiler supporting C++11. Check the version of your compiler with:

/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ --version

NTNman

@jsulm
Thanks for reply.

gcc version is 4.8.4.
arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.1) 4.8.4

@NTNman That version should be fine. You should check whether libstdc++ and its dev package (containing the header files) are installed in your sysroot. Somewhere inside /home/ubuntu/NVIDIA_TK1/TK1/Linux_for_Tegra_tk1/rootfs/usr/include you should have a file named "utility".

@jsulm

Dear jsulm
Thanks for your very kind reply.
You are right.

I solved upper issue as I copy libraries to rootfs(sysroot folder).
And then I successed configure/make/make install.

But, I have another problem for qtcreator.
I trying to install qtcreator 3.6.1. (qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.1.tar.gz)

When I execute "qmake -r" in qtcreator folder, there is a error

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT : designer designercomponents-private.

If you have any opinion or solution, let me know it.
Thank you very much and have a nice day!!!

jsulm

@NTNman Why do you want to build QtCreator from sources? If you don't want to run it on your target board, then just install prebuild QtCreator (you can use Qt Online Installer for that).

NTNman

@jsulm
Dear jsulm

OK. I see.
I thought that I must use opensource qtcreator for cross compile.
If it is not, I will test using online-installer version.
Thank you very much.!!!!!

That does not mean you have to build it by yourself :-)
