Building Qt5 for Cross-Compilation

[jdudeck]

Good afternoon,

I have been trying to get Qt5 compiled, with a mkspec that will allow cross-compilation for beaglebone from Ubuntu 13.04. After a day of work, I am able to get Qt to accept the mkspecs (was using a tutorial for Qt4), however, the following error is thrown during ./configure :

qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0/qtbase/configure: 1269: shift: can't shift that many

qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.0/qtbase/configure: 1269: shift: can't shift that many

This is my configuration command:

./configure -developer-build -opensource -confirm-license -xplatform angstrom-arm-gnueabi-g++ -little-endian -prefix /usr/local/beaglebone/qt4.8-arm -c++11 -nomake

./configure -developer-build -opensource -confirm-license -xplatform angstrom-arm-gnueabi-g++ -little-endian -prefix /usr/local/beaglebone/qt4.8-arm -c++11 -nomake

This is my mkspec file (named angstrom-arm-gnueabi-g++)

All environments (i.e. angstrom toolchain) are installed and verified. Also, removal of the -nomake option will do nothing but display a help section with details on each of the configuration options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The nomake was throwing it into the shift error, but as I said before, it just displays help information. Qt 4.8.5 does not hit this wall, but fails at another point claiming the object files are not in a proper format.

I have also tried to manually set up an environment that would build using the tools supplied in the toolchain for angstrom, but I get this error when I try to compile:

make: c: Command not found
make: [Tunes.o] Error 127 (ignored)
