Solved Raspberry Pi installation of Qt

[Nite Coder]

Hello,
I wanted to install Qt on the Raspberry Pi, since the computer I am using right now for Qt is not where all of my C++ files are, which I use for reference when coding. I installed the online installer and adjusted permissions so it could run. Then I tried to run it and it failed. Saying:

cannot execute binary file: exec format error
Thanks in advance! : )

Note: I am running Raspbian

Hi,

The online and offline installers for Linux are for the x86_64 architecture.not ARM.

You should either:

• Install Qt from Raspbian
• Cross-compile Qt
• Compile Qt on your target.

This guide worked for me. Used Qt 5.11.1. Compiled both dynamic and static libraries. (Rasberry Pi 3+)
