Hello everybody,
I’ve cross compiled QT5.2.1 with ICU support for TI AM335x (not exactly a Beagleboard but much similar).
Now I am doing some tests, but I am not able to execute any program built against the cross-compiled QT. Any program (even the simples console-based “Hello, world” exits with code 1 just at the startup and does not produce any output).
If a perform a “strace” of my program I have the output that you can read at the following address: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=DCB987547568DE13!107&authkey=!ANC7D8Zh7ZfGz4w&ithint=file,.log
The problem seems to be something wrong just after loading libicudata.so.52 library… exit_group(1) is being called somewhere… but who is calling it? How can I discover that?
Can somebody help me? Thanks for your support!
Hi Morix Dev,
I had a similar problem. Do you find out what was causing this error? Qt AM335x application exits with code 1 at startup.
Tḧanks,
Best regards ,
Hi Thiago,
I haven’t found a solution yet… I am still working on it… now I am suspecting that is something related to compiler optimization flags when compiling QT…
I’ll let you know if I find a useful solution… but hey: please do not hesitate to write here if you found a valid solution too! 
Thanks & regards.

Thiago,
just to narrow down the problem… can you tell me how you cross-compiled QT? I mean can you tell me which flags have you put on your “./configure” command line and what is the content of your “qtbase/mkspecs//qmake.conf”?
Thanks,

Hello,
I found the solution: the problem is due to ICU which cannot (don’t know why) dynamically load its data at runtime from libicudata.so.52.
I recompiled ICU for packaging data in standard file (instead of shared library) and now it works fine!
You can review the full story here and here.

Hi,
Thanks, sorry for the delay to respond, it’s because I was in another project. Today I will try to compile the ICU again.
My “./configure” command line is:
./configure -prefix /opt/qt5 -debug-and-release -make libs -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabi-g++ -opengl es2 -confirm-license -opensource -icu -no-xcb -no-pch -make examples -verbose -shared -plugin-sql-sqlite -qt-zlib -no-cups -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg
I apply this path that I made: patch_qt5_1_1__1.0
I copied the include to my filesystem.

Hi Morix,
I recompiled QT5 no ICU and it works. I need the ICU, so I recompile the ICU. If I compile for static library works, but if I compile to static library does not work, still the same error that you mentioned. I’m cross compiling this way:
$ export CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
$ export CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
$ export AR=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar
$ export RANLIB=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ranlib
$ export CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard"
$ export CPPFLAGS=$CFLAGS
$ export ICU_FLAGS="-I/mnt/lhome/am335x/libs_apps/libicu/icu/source/common/ -I/mnt/lhome/am335x/libs_apps/libicu/icu/source/tools/tzcode/"
$ export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link=/usr/local/ti-sdk-am335x-evm/linux-devkit/filesystem/lib -L/usr/local/ti-sdk-am335x-evm/linux-devkit/filesystem/lib -Wl,-rpath-link=/usr/local/ti-sdk-am335x-evm/linux-devkit/filesystem/usr/lib -L/usr/local/ti-sdk-am335x-evm/linux-devkit/filesystem/usr/lib"
$ sh /mnt/lhome/am335x/libs_apps/libicu/icu/source/configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/opt/icu --disable-samples --disable-tests --with-cross-build=/mnt/lhome/am335x/libs_apps/libicu/icu_pc
$ make -j 4
$ make install
I see your post but don’t work. Did you only recompile ICU arm?
Hello Thiago,
yes I just recompiled only ICU for ARM specifying the option “--with-data-packaging=files” on configure command line… have you tried to do that?
