Hi Ket,

Am wondering if I misunderstood your directions above.

– I used the link you provided to download the new build.
– Then tried again to complete this tutorial: http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/raspberry/qt/

In completing that tutorial/wizard, I:

– Selected to create a QT-based application
– Chose “Click here to configure QT Settings.
– Chose QT5

Ran into the same issues reported by this guy: http://sysprogs.com/w/forums/topic/qt5-raspberry-pi/ ….

I attempted to find the Installation log as advised by a popup dialog in the project wizard process, but couldn’t find it…

Advice, again, appreciated.

Thanks very much, Ket. I will email Sales re: extension – we’ll give things a try and let you know how things go.

Thanks for your response. We’re still very much hoping to use your tool and look forward to information about the update.

Hi,

Thanks very much for your answers. However, we’re still running into problems – and any advice to get up and running would be much appreciated!:

1. We did, since my first posting, find (as you mention) a 3rd-party source for the Q5 binaries. (The instructions and links, which I followed exactly are pasted at the bottom of this post.)

2. I then used your wizard to create a new QT-based application. Details:
— Build project locally with cross-compiler
— Chose to configure QT Settings

Chose QT5 (Automatically download QT5.exe, etc.)

On continuing, I received the error message “Toolchain test failed. QT testing failed (etc…)

FYI, in case useful, my colleague, who checked version numbers both on PI, and as in installed by your program on Windows (C:SysGCCraspberryQtv5), saw versions for:

QT on PI: 5.2.0; on Windows QT 5.1.1
QMAKE on both PI and Windows: 3.0

(He used “QMAKE –Version to get version numbers)

Final question and note:
– When the VisualGDB-generated build chain fails, is there any log file, or other method of obtaining additional information?
– In case useful to know – note that – if we don’t cross-compile, the program does, with some caveats, run.

> BELOW are the Instructions I followed to obtain QT5 binaries (as provided in the 3rd posting in this thread: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=96761)

Edit the file: /etc/apt/sources.list and add:
CODE: SELECT ALL
deb http://twolife.be/raspbian/ wheezy main backports
deb-src http://twolife.be/raspbian/ wheezy main backports

Install the required key:
CODE: SELECT ALL
$sudo apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-key 2578B775

Then get Qt5 and esoteric requirements installed:
CODE: SELECT ALL
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake libegl1-mesa libgles2-mesa

This will take some time, and install a plethora of packages.

I’m guessing a very recent version of QtCreator is also available as a package there.
