Build Errors in Qtcreator for Colibri T20

Hello,

I tried to cross compile QT application for Colibri T20 . But unfortunately I ended up with the following errors. I’m unable to sort out these errors. To setup the Oe-core and installation of SDK , I followed this link.

In issues I got this

:-1: error: execvp: …/qt-tutorial-01/mainwindow.ui: Permission denied

In General Messages I got this

You should first resolve the “Permission denied” issue, please verify and if necessary fix access rights for your project files. Please also share you Qt creator Build & Run config (screenshot all tabs with arm/t20 options selected).

I’m unable to resolve this “Permission Denied” issue. I have attached the build and configuration setup screen shots.][1]][1]

Can you compile this project with your computer as a target?
What does ls -la returns in your project folders?

I could compile the project with my computer as target and I got the executable file. Also I ran the QT application in my development machine. Below I have mentioned the output of the command ls -la.

dev1@dev1-desktop:~/Desktop/qt-tutorial-01/qt-tutorial-01$ ls -la

Can you upload this project so we can try compiling it?

I have compressed my project for qt and attached it . Please have a look at this. If you can build this project successfully, I would like to know how it happened for you and please attach screen shots of compiled Output. Also I kindly request you to send the build output so that I can check it with colibri if you successfully built this project.

I’ve created T20 image and sdk with this commands:

 repo init -u http://git.toradex.com/toradex-bsp-platform.git -b LinuxImageV2.7-next
 repo sync
 source ./export
 bitbake angstrom-qt-x11-image
 bitbake -k meta-toolchain-qt

Then I installed the sdk, sourced the environment file and started qtcreator (make sure you’re using the same environment for qtcreator, you should run it from the console that you’ve sourced environment in)
Here’s my qtcreator (version 4.2.2) config:
[upload|faQXzcUADN0g2itH1tUL7Jr8y+Q=]
[upload|1iX+PeQY2TEMXse+vrciCqH2H3A=]
[upload|qhkg2/AayV14zgvD/a1UfstoLn4=]
[upload|9SmkVyoceLGWPULQXIWT6NmzaPk=]

Quick tip, you can add:

target.path = /root
INSTALLS += target

to you .pro file if you want qtcreator to automatically deploy your application (you also need to configure your device in qtcreator see Tools->Options->Devices)

Thank you . Now I could run my application on COlibri T20 board. But I’m unable to compile the software using qtcreator and I could compile it in terminal by doing some changes in makefile. In the make file that was generated using qtcreator kit, the GCC, GCCXX, debugger and linkers were set for the X86 machine even though I manually organized the kit for colibri T20 using corresponding tool-chains.

Kit compiler config is not being properly used by qtcreator currently. You’re having issues because you’re not running qtcreator with a proper environment. You have to source the environment and then run qtcreator in the same console.

Thanks for your support. I forgot to choose the path for qt mkspec. This was the issue and after giving the exact path for the qt mkspec , I could cross compile my application on qtcreator without modifying the make file.
