Building Qt cross toolchain for RPi4: library is missed

[Pavel_47]

Hello,

After several unsuccessful attempts to build Qt cross toolchain for RPi3, I decided to change the device. This time it's the RPi4. The problem persists: make process on Ubuntu fails due to lack of a library, which is referenced in the code of Qt. Here is the name of library: libatspi. The guys from Qt suggested to install libatspi and libatspi-dev on RPi and then re-synchronize with Ubuntu and rebuild once more. The problem is that RPi can't locate libatspi packages.
Any comments ?
P.S. Here is where it fails (when running make on Ubuntu):

Code: Select all

constant_mappings.cpp: In function ‘quint64 spiStatesFromQState(QAccessible::State)’:
constant_mappings.cpp:82:35: error: ‘ATSPI_STATE_READ_ONLY’ was not declared in this scope

The library souce can be downloaded from here https://developer.gnome.org/libatspi/ and might be compilable on the Pi ( havent tried )

But maybe a simpler solution would be to disable the build of the module that uses this (linuxaccessibility).

[Pavel_47]

You mean edit makefile ?

[topguy]

The "configure" command has a whole bunch of different options. Maybe you find one that relates to Accessibility.

Which Qt version are you working with ?

[Pavel_47]

Here is configure options that I used before lunching make:

./configure -release -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi3-vc4-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=~/raspi/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot ~/raspi/sysroot -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -prefix /usr/local/qt5pi -extprefix ~/raspi/qt5pi -hostprefix ~/raspi/qt5 -no-use-gold-linker -v

Have you an idea which option could disable libatspi ?

[topguy]

No.. but do a "./configure --help" and you will see the rest of the options..

I don't see anything in connection with libatspi.

[topguy]

Since you already have someones attention on the Qt forums, maybe ask them.
You still havent told us which version of Qt you are trying to build.

[Pavel_47]

Qt version: 5.12.6

[Pavel_47]

I have checked this library on RPi - and found it in /user/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/.
But it isn't present in ~/raspi/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ on Ubuntu after re-synchronization.
There are problems with synchronization between Ubuntu and RPi but no any log file. I've checked information on display buffers, but didn't see any errors. But at the end of resync execution I get this message:

sent 838,480 bytes received 1,554,923,460 bytes 2,198,956.81 bytes/sec
total size is 3,341,241,457 speedup is 2.15
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1668) [generator=3.1.2]

Is this specific to Ubuntu? Been asked to move this to a more appropriate forum, but not sure where it would go.If its specific to Ubuntu it needs to stay here.

When I do `apt-cache search libatspi` on the Pi there are packages, so not sure why they are apparently missing. What errors are seem when trying to install the packages?
