Experience building and using Qt Embedded

Question

I am currently trying to compile and build QT for Embedded Linux on an Ubuntu box for ARM architecture. So far, I have run into MANY errors while trying to MAKE. The biggest one being a 2000 line C++ function which caused a compiler error. What are other peoples experiences with this and how did you fix it?

Answer 1

My experience has always been favorable, given:

You must follow every single instruction in the installation instructions for Qt, without exception. Every time I've run into compilation errors, it's been because I tried to just do it quickly, instead of reading the attached documentation for that specific platform.

I'd review the instructions - there's probably some minor thing that needs to be done first, which will most likely eliminate your errors.

Answer 2

Suggest you follow the installation instructions at
