A linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ mkspec was added, which is identical to a linux-g++ mkspec except for the compiler commands. The next issue we hit in testing is that a standalone cross-compiler does not provide any GL API, which is nowadays required to compile Qt. We did not want to use some vendor-specific GL (or couldn't due to licensing), so we're now using a cross-compiled mesa (packaged at https://launchpad.net/~rohanpm/+archive/qtqa-cross ). _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
