Compiler static libraries problem in ARM

Hi,

What kind of device is that ? Can you use something like yocto maybe to build an image with a more modern set of libraries for it ?

@M.Gimenez You could just install the libs with your package. It may be against the stdc++ license but putting the version you expect on the target device will make it work.

Speaking of licensing, know that static building with Qt requires a commercial license and is not available for the open source license.

So to explain this a bit more, when I package my linux apps, they look something like this:

fonts/
   *.ttf
bin/
   myapp
libs/
   libgcc_s.so.1
   libQt5Core.so.5
   libQt5Gui.so.5
   libQt5Network.so.5
   libQt5Widgets.so.5
   libstdc++.so.6
resources/
   image.png
myapp
README

myapp in the root package dir is a start script like so:

#!/bin/sh

dir="$(dirname `readlink -f $0`)"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$dir/libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
QT_QPA_FONTDIR="$dir/fonts"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH QT_QPA_FONTDIR
exec $dir/bin/myapp "$\@"

Again, please keep in mind you need to follow licensing. The above app was developed with Qt Commercial licensing. Even though I didn't use static linking it was a commercial app so I could have used it but preferred dynamic linking.

Hope that helps in some way. :)
