Problem with Installation of RaspberryPi for QT5 following a guide

goulashsoup · 2015-10-18 16:56:57

Hello,

So I followed the RaspberryPi Beginners Guide.

While following the guide I also had some trouble which I could handle myself. But now I really don´t find anything about it in the web and also don´t really know what I should searching for. While I had some trouble I already did the following:

pacman -S qt5-base
pacman -S lib32-zlib
pacman -S gcc
pacman -S lib32-libstdc++5
pacman -S gcc-multilib

and I also enabled “[testing]” and “[multilib-testing]” in /etc/pacman.conf

I am working with Arch Linux x86_64 and the guide is for ubuntu/debian.

1. Does it only work with ubuntu / debian ?

You can watch the commandlines from the Beginners Guide it is not so much. The problem I have appears after execute this line:

./configure -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=~/opt/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs -opensource -confirm-license -optimized-qmake -reduce-exports -release -make libs -prefix /usr/local/qt5pi -hostprefix /usr/local/qt5pi

Well at least for me it is not so clear what the code does, but I think I am able to explain the problem.
After I execute the line the executing is divided into discernible parts. Phase 1 works fine. And problems beginning with phase 2:

Running configuration tests (phase 2)...
Found pkg-config from $PATH: /usr/bin/pkg-config
Warning: Disabling pkg-config since PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR is not set and
the host's .pc files would be used (even if you set PKG_CONFIG_PATH).
Set this variable to the directory that contains target .pc files
for pkg-config to function correctly when cross-compiling or
use -pkg-config to override this test.
Note: PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR automatically set to /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs
Determining architecture... ()

So here is the first problem I have "Set this variable". Well I do not really know which "variable" is meant to set. I also do not know why the process proceed when something is not right to proceed it.
First Questions:
2. Which variable is meant to set to the directory that contains target .pc files?
3. How can I find out which directory is meant ?
4. Does it matter to proceed the process?

So the following fatal errors are following:

/home/test23/opt/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -c -pipe -marm -mfpu=vfp -mtune=arm1176jzf-s -march=armv6zk -mabi=aapcs-linux -mfloat-abi=hard --sysroot=/mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs -g -Wall -W -fPIC  -I. -I../../mkspecs/devices/linux-rasp-pi-g++ -o arch.o arch.cpp
arch.cpp:37:19: fatal error: stdio.h: file or directory not found

/home/test23/opt/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.7.2/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/c++/4.7.2/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bits/os_defines.h:40:22: fatal error: features.h: file or directory not found

3 times fatal error with features.h

/home/test23/opt/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -c -pipe -marm -mfpu=vfp -mtune=arm1176jzf-s -march=armv6zk -mabi=aapcs-linux -mfloat-abi=hard --sysroot=/mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs -O2 -Wall -W -fPIC  -I. -I../../../mkspecs/devices/linux-rasp-pi-g++ -o ipc.o ipc.cpp
ipc.cpp:34:23: fatal error: sys/types.h: file or directory not found

2 times with sys/types.h

I only will list the other files with fatal errors:

zlib.h
mtdev.h
png.h
sqlcli.h
ibase.h
oci.h
sql.h
libpq-fe.h
sqlite.h
sybfront.h
cups/cups.h
iconv.h
dbus/dbus.h
glib.h
unicode/utypes.h
pulse/pulseaudio.h
GLES2/gl2.h

So I realy do not have a clue whats wrong. I guess it has something todo with the system. I am working with x86_64 and not i686.

5. Whats Wrong ? Is there a package or a bunch of packages I need ?

What exactly do you run in your Pi? Is there no Qt5 in the archarm's repos?

That should probably be the question posed to the archlinuxARM forums as these are for archlinux only.

~~Closed. Binned.~~

Edit: My appologies for the misinterpretation.

Reopened upon appeal: OP is cross compiling on x86_64

I have totally nothing todo with archarm. I am just want "to be able to compile Qt5 applications for the Raspberry Pi" like the beginners guide said.

And also why does it matter to know what I run in my PI? I have to ask a fellow student about that and I will report back.

It matters, because cross compiling software between architectures and distributions adds a whole new layer of... challenges.

Yes, but the problem I have at the moment has only something todo with my OP ArchLinux, because without a working compiler I will compile nothing...

But if its necessary: Why are using Raspbian

Ok thanks, I only was a little confused...

I had the same problem and in my case the problem was that the sysroot doesn't contain the necessary files.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to go ahead and close this old topic now.
