GCC Error During Cross Compile Setup
-
I have been working this problem for more than a week. I installed QT off the QT site. I am trying to set up a cross compile environment for a Beaglebone Black ARM 8 platform. I have set up the compiler options using GNU 6.3.0 compiler. I successfully created the cross-compile environment and the Beaglebone device. The connect test worked correctly as well. When I build the default QT simple application I get these errors,

Not sure why it is issuing this command.
I know these compilers work as I have compiled manually a QT basic example using the g++ compiler. Any suggestions?

@Steve-Mansfield Try setting this
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Generic)in your cmake toolchain file.If it's set to
Windowsit will cause that issue you are seeing.
