[QtonPi] Cross Compiled Qt 5 and QtCreator [SOLVED]

[Etienne H.]

Hi,

  Thanks for everyone input on the matter.
  I tried a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 with a clean qt5 repo, following the step by
step tutorial, with a fresh Qt Creator... Still the same error message.

  Out of options, I dived into Qt Creator's source code to understand when
this message is displayed. It turns out Qt Creator expects your target
install directory to have a bin/ directory ( be it empty or not).
  I can't exactly figure out why other people on this list have it working
right out of the box... I'm also not sure what's meant to be in this
directory since Qt is built for cross-compilation and I certainly wouldn't
expect the generated x86 tools to be embedded in the RaspPi filesystem. But
a simple mkdir fixes the issue and Qt Creator is happy again!

Regards,
  Etienne
