  • Precompiled Qt binaries for your Raspberry Pi
  • An easy-to-use environment to cross-compile your Qt Raspberry Pi application from your computer

Requirements

  • A 64-bit Linux host computer
  • A SSH reachable RaspberryPi

Installation

Cross-compile Qt applications for your Raspberry Pi 3 - 1. Install QtRpi from scratch (Youtube video)
