Yocto/Qt5.6: Unable to build a sample Qt Application

chaithubk

I have a working Nitrogen6x board that runs on Yocto Krogoth-next build with core-image-sato. I have installed Qt Creator 3.5.1 (based on Qt 5.5.1) and I have added my kit for nitrogen6x board as per [Build & Install Qt5 toolchain] document. I have added a sample Qt Quick Application with component set chosen as Qt Quick 2.1 and tried to compile the source, I am noticing this below error.

All the Qt libraries are present under /sysroots/cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/qt5/ and I have set the sysroot path correctly under my kit, but I am unable to figure out why is that my application is failing to reference those libraries. Any help on this is deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes. I tried adding Qt mkspec as linux-oe-g++ to my kit. I noticed the error make: c: Command not found. Then I tried adding source /opt/poky/2.1.1/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux‌-gnueabi to my ~/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator.sh script before #!/bin/sh and then launched the sudo sh qtcreator.sh and tried to build and it worked. Thank you.

Do you really need to run qtcreator.sh with sudo?

This means that all file of a new created project with this qtcreator.sh will be only accessible from your super user,

I don't know but it seems a bit odd,

When I launched qtcreator.sh without sudo I noticed some errors of sort below:
Warning dialog with text

Cannot overwrite file ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/qtversion.xml: Permission denied.

and OK button. After I click OK I get one more dialog with text:

Cannot overwrite file ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/devices.xml: Permission denied.

and OK button so on.

Running with sudo resolved those errors. As you said that could be a quick hack but not right way of doing it.

I'm sure about this case because I have met. When you run example, it is located on /opt folder and your linux user can not permission to execute. So to solve, please take example to other folder. and try build again.
