Regarding Cross Compilation for an embedded board

Naveen_D

Hi all,

I have an embedded board (FriendlyArm- Tiny6410). I have set a kit for this board in Qt creator (without debugger).

1)For Qt project file - The problem i am facing is when i create a project and try to build using the new kit it is giving few general messages and i am not able to get the drop downs in project space( not able to go to .pro file or .h file etc) but the project is building and i am able to dump it on the board and get the output. In case if i want to edit anything in .cpp or .h file, not able to do that.

The general messages are :
usr/local/Qt/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/qmake.conf(12): Assignment needs exactly one word on the left hand side.
/usr/local/Qt/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/qmake.conf(15): Assignment needs exactly one word on the left hand side.
/usr/local/Qt/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/qmake.conf(18): Assignment needs exactly one word on the left hand side.
/usr/local/Qt/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/qmake.conf(21): Assignment needs exactly one word on the left hand side.
Could not read qmake configuration file /usr/local/Qt/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-g++/qmake.conf.
Error while parsing file /home/user/QtExample/QtExample.pro. Giving up

For Qml project file - When i try to build a Qml project using this kit it is giving the following error.

/home/user/QmlExample/main.cpp:1: error: QGuiApplication: No such file or directory

Please guide me if anyone knows the solution. Thanks

Hi,

Because you are trying to build Qt 5 code with Qt 4. QGuiApplication is a new class in Qt 5.

@SGaist Thank you for the reply sir,
Is it possible to set latest version of Qt in that board ?

SGaist

If Qt 4 is already working on it, then Qt 5 is also likely to work on it however you should check with the folks at FriendlyARM.

@SGaist Ok thank you, will check !

Sir i am getting these general messages and i am not able to get the drop downs in project space( not able to go to .pro file or .h file etc) why i am getting this any idea ?

Thanks

Are you trying to build a Qt 5 project with Qt 4 ?

Naveen_D

@SGaist Yes that was a simple example developed in Qt 5.8 which i was trying to cross compile for that board.

@Naveen_D You either use Qt5 on your board or you use Qt4. Qt5 and Qt4 are not compatible, so don't try to mix.

@jsulm
Ya sure. Thanks for the information.
