Compilling qt-everywhere fails

[zdenekrejci]

Hi to all. I am trying to get working cross platform programming for A13 ARM from olimex.
I have searched already here but did not find a way to make it work.

I have installed Qt Creator 3.5.1 and also installed cross compillers arm-linux-gnueabi and arm-linux-gnueabihf.
Then i did try one million times to compile qt-everywhere-opensource ,,,

qt-embedded-linux-opensource-src-4.5.3.tar.gz
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2.tar.gz
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4.tar.gz
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0.tar.gz
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0.tar.gz

with ./configure -embedded arm -prefix /usr/local/qt -little-endian -no-qt3support -no-cups -no-largefile -optimized-qmake -no-openssl -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -nomake tools -nomake examples -no-webkit -opensource -confirm-license

but always get output from make command

This means that your selected soc architecture (-mcpu=cortex-a8) is not supported, you'll need to try a more recent version of Qt.

I recommend you try Qt 5.9.4, I used it recently with success in this cross-build script for the Raspberry Pi:

https://github.com/chschnell/build-qt5-rpi

But note that it's for the Pi, I do not believe it works for the A13 without serious modifications. Also there might be a RAM problem with Qt, the A13 has only 512M.
