Ultimately that was going to be the goal for most of the posts in the
"Raspberry Pi" category on logikalblog.com. The post series was going to
be used as the basis for formal work instructions setting up an
environment for cross compiling Qt to both Raspberry Pi and Android targets.
I have yet to find Qt cross compile configuration instructions which
weren't pure unadulterated shit. All of them I've found are a shining
example of why AGILE is a completely fraudulent methodology. The
developer may have "solved the user story" in their mind, but the house
of cards only works once.
Given the number of distros dropping 32-bit support and the fact
Canonical is dropping Linux for Fuchsia (sp?) the number of unidentified
32-bit hosts one could potentially use dwindles. All of the YABUs will
disappear when Canonical switches within the next 18 months.

Thank you Roland for your email.
You are certainly correct in thinking that I was trying a 64bit OS, I
was using Ubuntu 16.04 on a VM.
I have to agree with your statement as I certainly dislike the lack of
patch level of the host OS used for the build environment, this
statement is also true for the Qtbase version branch to download
(which is either the 5.10 or dev).
I will certainly try your suggestion of using an older 32-bit system
and will post the results. I’ll read up on the PostgreSQL message
thread, to cover some other possible mistakes.
My plan if successful is to create another blog with 100% clear and
understandable build instructions to help others, so they won’t have
to waste day’s trying to figure this find.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards

Your link has some incredibly telling text.

As usual, we are going to cross-compile. The steps are pretty
similar to the Raspbian guide in the Wiki. I have been using this
TinkerOS 1.8 image as the rootfs. To get a suitable ARM (32-bit)
cross-compiler for x64, try this Linaro toolchain.

You may wish to follow the PostgreSQL message thread as well
because the Raspbian guide is bad and it keeps snowballing out to
other really bad things.
The last sentence of the quote is most telling. They didn't try
this on a 64-bit machine so _ALL_ of their configuration issues
were masked.
Are you trying to build on a 64-bit OS? I would guess you are, but
information like that would be most helpful.
Just like the Raspbian Wiki post, they don't identify the version
and patch level of the host OS used for the build environment.
This means _everyone_ assumes it is the same version they are
currently using, which is wrong.
My first suggestion would be to set up a 32-bit distro (as a VM if
necessary) and make sure it is not current. Even though Ubuntu
16.x was out on May 3, 2017 when that post was created, I would
search for a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32-bit version. Following the
instructions with an older 32-bit Debian based distro will provide
a higher probability of success.

Has anyone tried and successfully installed and used QT creator on the Asus
Tinker?
As it is very little to no information on doing such a thing.
I?ve found this QT blog but sadly I get 200+ errors when trying to build a
very simple program when following this post.

I hope someone can assist me.
