Trouble configuring Qt

Hi,

I am trying to write a program to put on my beaglebone and I have been trying research how to properly do the process for a few months now and I just can not get it. The problem comes when I am trying to do ./configure and make. Even if I do ./configure with no options and then run make, it will fail. Below is my current setup that I am trying.

Hardware/Software
Host- Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
Target- beaglebone
Qt- 4.8.3 opensource
Angstrom toolchain- angstrom-2011.03-x86_64-linux-armv7a-linux-gnueabi-toolchain-qte-4.6.3


I have been finding some guides online and trying to follow them but I always get errors at some step that I can't fix. Here are some of what I looked are below.

Here is my qmake.conf for the target (/mkspecs/qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++). I have tried many different variations.

Code:

---

#

include(../../common/gcc-base-unix.conf)

load(qt_config)

For my configure options

Code:

---

./configure -opensource -confirm-license -no-qt3support -nomake examples -embedded arm -little-endian -xplatform qws/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -prefix /opt/qt4-beagle -release -platform /qws/linux-x86_64-g++  -host-big-endian

I'll get a bunch of text and then I will get lines and lines of these

Then I will get more lines and lines of the Parse errors and at the very end I get

Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into /opt/qt4-beagle

To reconfigure, run 'make confclean' and 'configure'.


And if I do a make just for kicks and giggles, I will get a bunch of assembler instruction errors

Code:

---

../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/arch/qatomic_armv5.h:131: Error: no such instruction: `swpb %dl,%r12b,[%rbx]'
../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/arch/qatomic_armv5.h:131: Error: no such instruction: `swpb %cl,%dl,[%rbx]'
make[1]: *** [.obj/release-shared-emb-arm/qabstractanimation.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/scott/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3/src/corelib'
make: *** [sub-corelib-make_default-ordered] Error 2

---

My path and qmakespec is below

PATH="/home/scott/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3/bin/:/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/:/home/scott/CodeSourcery/SCB_Lite_ARM/bin:/home/scott/CodeSourcery/SCB_Lite_ARM/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
QMAKESPEC="/home/scott/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3/mkspecs/qws/linux-x86_64-g++"

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hello,

I successfully managed to cross-compile Qt and run my Qt apps on Beaglebone.
Here is my configure:
./configure -prefix ~/armhf-build -opensource -confirm-license -embedded arm -platform qws/linux-x86-g++ -xplatform qws/linux-omap3-g++ -little-endian -host-little-endian -no-webkit

Here is mkspec:

Hope this helps.

Hi

I have the same setup and have been trying for ages to set it up correctly.

Did the suggested solution work for you? Have you managed to get it working?
