libQt5Core.so: undefined reference to `__cxa_throw_bad_array_new_length@CXXABI_1.3.8

I'm using a cross compiled qt 5.4.2 and I getting the following error when I try to build simple QtWidget app (the app is just a window)

09:55:42: Running steps for project untitled...
09:55:42: Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.

I really don't understand what is going on.

Could be a compatibility problem with some libs on the target OS?

I will appreciate any help that point me to the solution.

Thanks in advance.

I found the solution to the problem.

The real problem was that I was using Qt Creator as IDE to cross compile and it set qmake to use a device different that the one I was cross compiling for.

I mean the original setting for qmake was:

qmake '/home/pf/D6Cx/test app/untitled/untitled.pro' -r -spec linux-g++

and it should be:

qmake '/home/pf/D6Cx/test app/untitled/untitled.pro' -r -spec devices/linux-d6cx-g++

whith this last one configuration the app is built correctly!!

The way I use to force qmake to use my specific device was (in Qt Creator):

  • go to Projects/Build setting
  • in the section Build Steps -> qmake add in Additional arguments: -spec devices/linux-d6cx-g++

and that will overwrite the original setting for -spec

Thanks!
