Qt5 Raspberry Pi

[sunilvb]

I am trying to get Qt5 going on my Raspberry Pi…
I have Qt5.2 MinGW installed on my PC.
I am following the tutorial at http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/raspberry/qt-cross/
I am stuck at step-4 with the following error :

Hi,

Qt5 is not yet available as a package for Raspberry Pi. That is why we currently support auto-installing Qt4 packages only as in the tutorial. You can still use Qt5 with Raspberry Pi, but you will need to set it up manually. Currently that probably means building it from sources yourself.

What about BeagleBone. Do you support Qt5 or QML on BeagleBone ?
I am trying to decide which platform to go with based on support for QML.
thanks!

Hi,

VisualGDB does support building the apps and debugging the c/c++ code of both Qt4 and Qt5 on Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone.
However, before you make the Qt5 project with VisualGDB you should setup Qt5 manually on the platform, that may mean building it from sources. Installing Qt5 from a package is not yet available for Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone, only for generic x86 Linux platforms. Hence the VisualGDB project wizard cannot install Qt5 for you.
