[package] qt5: error building for Android with NDK 24 due to missing ranlib #15552

Closed kambala-decapitator closed 1 year ago

kambala-decapitator commented 1 year ago

Description

Qt 5 tries to use aarch64-linux-android-ranlib but NDK 24 doesn't have it. Only toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/llvm-ranlib exists which is a symlink to llvm-ar.

Qt 5 has been tested only against NDK 20b and 21, but would be good to fix it for more modern toolchains too.

Indeed, porting qt to an unsupported environment is a hard work. Please report this kind of issues to https://bugreports.qt.io/. They will probably rightfully advise you to switch to a more recent and maintained version (qt 6).

https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-is-now-staying-up-to-date-with-new-android-ndk-versions says that this is fixed for Qt 5 (in commercial version I guess)

Since QTBUG-108662 was fixed, we now support building Qt 5 and applications for it with LLVM-based toolchains in newer NDKs. The bug was about a remaining dependency on ranlib, with the fix the qmake build correctly uses llvm-ar on LLVM toolchains.

Similarly to Qt 6, if Qt 5 or applications for it don't build with a shiny and new NDK, it's a bug, please report it.
