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.

Qt Code: 
  1. #
  2. # qmake configuration for building with arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++
  3. #

  5. include(../../common/linux.conf)

  12.  
  13. # modifications to g++.conf

  16. QMAKE_LINK = /home/scott/angstrom/toolchain/usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++
  17. QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB        = /home/scott/angstrom/toolchain/usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++

  21. QMAKE_OBJCOPY           = /home/scott/angstrom/toolchain/usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-objcopy
  22. QMAKE_STRIP             = /home/scott/angstrom/toolchain/usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-strip
  23.  
  24. load(qt_config)

For my configure options
Qt Code: 
  1. ./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
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
I'll get a bunch of text and then I will get lines and lines of these

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

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

Qt Code: 
  1. ../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/arch/qatomic_armv5.h:131: Error: no such instruction: `swpb %dl,%r12b,[%rbx]'
  2. ../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/arch/qatomic_armv5.h:131: Error: no such instruction: `swpb %cl,%dl,[%rbx]'

  5. make: *** [sub-corelib-make_default-ordered] Error 2

My path and qmakespec is below

QMAKESPEC="/home/scott/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3/mkspecs/qws/linux-x86_64-g++"

Any suggestions?

Thanks
