I have googled a lot to find a a good tutorial on how to cross compile Qt5.1.1 IDE (the full package) for BeagleBone Black on Ångström linux.
Unfortunately many of the tutorials were either not well explained or complicated that did not suit beginners to understand it.
I am wondering why there is no already precompiled Qt5.1.1 package available for download and install on BBB, so one could easily install it from Ångström opkg system?
I have checked few of the RPi tutorials on How to compile Qt for RPi but I was unsuccessful on compiling for RPi, so how can I port it for BBB!?
I have checked http://www.gpupowered.org/node/24 and tried the instruction for 5.1.1 (version) available on
https://github.com/prabindh/qt-configs and applying patches on https://github.com/prabindh/qt-configs/tree/master/qt5_1_1_Sep13 and its sub directory linux-arm-gnueabi-ti-g++ but it does not call the linaro compiler instead of gcc.
How can I fix the issue (I have already installed the ti-SDK that comes with cross compiler toolchain instead of linaro)?
Which configuration file is going to be used when I run the following configure script (from http://www.gpupowered.org/node/24 [Step 1: Configure]) on qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.1.1 entry folder?
Or the one that I copied from Git qt.5.1.1 subdirectory to /qtbase/mkspec/linux-arm-gnueabi-ti-g++ (qmake.conf and qplatformmodefs.h).
I am tired of trying different online tutorials, is there any plan for BBB to have a well explained beginners Wiki page on Qt , a tutorial on to deal with cross-compiling and compiling issues that one might encounter during compilation of Qt for BBB!
Thanks
