Qt Cross Compilation for Tegra3 - Cannot find crt1.o

webzoid

I've hit a stumbling block when attempting to cross-compile the qt-base sources for Linux.

Specifically targetting the NVIDIA Tegra3 architecture, I'm using the following configure script to start the process:

./configure -device linux-tegra3-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-linaro/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot /opt/sysroot/rootfs -nomake examples -nomake tests -prefix /usr/local/qt5 -extprefix /opt/qt/qt5 -hostprefix /opt/qt/qt5-host -opengl es2 -v

I'm using the 5.2.1-2015.11-2-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain which is symbolically linked to /opt/gcc-linaro and the rootfs of my target resides in /opt/sysroot/rootfs

The errors I get are:

I'm a little confused by the initial collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' error and I'm unsure as to which ld the build is trying to find. Likewise, the crtX.o files, are these the files contained in the sysroot/rootfs from the target device or are these files part of the toolchain?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
