[Development] Nominating Paul Wicking for Approvership

2018-12-12 Thread Simon Hausmann
Hi,


I would like to nominate Paul for approvership. He started beginning of 2018 
making changes to docs and reviewing doc changes. Whenever I made changes to 
docs, he has spotted many of my mistakes, so I've had a very good experience 
working with him ;-). I trust him to approve changes he's comfortable with.


If you're curious, here's a list of his changes:

+1 - sensible fellow, clearly knows what he's doing.

Full disclosure: there's only a thin wall between his office and mine.

You cannot execute make from the sysroot without a binfmt handler and a
matching ld.so. See, e.g.:
https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Embedded_Handbook/General/Compiling_with_qemu_user_chroot

But you will probably want to just point CMake to a make from the build host
instead. Have you already set:
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
in your CMake toolchain file? With that setting, it should not look for
executables in your sysroot, see:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling-for-linux

> PS: WTF? Why the Qt's management choosed the CMake's instead of QBS?

Because CMake is a widespread tool written in C++/STL (so, unlike QBS, it
does not depend on Qt, which would mean a circular dependency when building
Qt), widely packaged for GNU/Linux distributions, and with binaries for
Windows and macOS shipped by CMake upstream (Kitware) themselves. It has a
live upstream at Kitware, so Qt does not have to maintain it. And it is
already widely used in the Qt and KDE community.

QBS, on the other hand, is a custom tool, in practice only used by Qt and a
few Qt-using projects (I know the aim is to support also non-Qt projects,
but this is not really used in the wild), which requires constant
maintenance effort from the Qt project.

CMake is not a "crap", it is a powerful tool, almost as easy to use as
QMake, but a lot more flexible and powerful.

Once you have the cross toolchain configured properly, which is a one-time
setup effort, CMake will just work, too.

Also, and perhaps more importantly: it has a very big community of people who 
can help answer questions. Like this one.
