    Hi,

    I need you help for solving an issue that’s is getting me crazy.

    I want to use VisualGDB for developing a QT5 based application and then debug it on my Raspberry PI.

    I followed the tutorial [http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/raspberry/qt/embedded/] for croos compiling QT5 and everything worked fine.

    Because of my small size HD I decided to move the SysGCC folder from hard drive (C:) to micro SD (D:)

    I reinstalled the toolchain, the python package and the MINGV toolchain again changing the root path from C to D.

    I changed the VisualGDB setting accordingly but when I try to create a QT5 project the following error appears:

    Tool arguments: D:\SysGCC\Raspberry\arm-linux-gnueabihf\sysroot\usr\local\qt5\bin\qmake.exe TestProFile.pro CONFIGNAME=Debug
    Project ERROR: CROSS_COMPILE needs to be set via -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=<path>
    Could not read qmake configuration file D:/SysGCC/Raspberry/arm-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/local/qt5/mkspecs/devices/linux-rasp-pi2-g++/qmake.conf.
    Error processing project file: TestProFile.pro

    I’m not able to find out how to setting up the environment in order to avoid this error and creating the QT5 project

    Please help me 🙂

    Thanks

    Federico

    Hi,

    The Qt framework has a bad habit of hardcoding various paths in the executables like qmake.exe, hence moving the toolchain to a different location would break everything.

    The easiest workaround would be to make a symlink from c:\SysGCC to d:\SysGCC:

    mklink /d c:\SysGCC d:\SysGCC

    This way your files will be physically located in d:\, but you can still use the c:\SysGCC path to access them.
