QGroundControl v5.0 stable android error

QGroundControl Development
1

Hello,

I am currently running QGroundControl v5.0 (stable release) with Qt 6.8.3.

Previously, I followed the official Qt guide for Android to successfully build and install the stable QGC v4.4 version with Qt 5.15.2 for both Android and Windows desktop.

However, since that version does not include the 3D View, I am now testing the newer QGC v5.0 stable release with Qt 6.8.3 to check if 3D View is supported.

I initially encountered multiple undefined symbol linker errors related to graphene, jpeg, and libpng while building QGroundControl.

To address this, I downloaded the required graphene and libpng libraries as ZIP files, extracted them, and manually added their include and lib directories to the CMakeLists.txt file. I also linked the static libraries (graphene-1.0, jpeg, and libpng.a) using target_link_libraries().

Could you please confirm if these manual changes are the reason I’m now experiencing the current linker errors? I suspect the issue might be related to architecture or compatibility mismatches.

This is the same problem/error I got before. I made the same mistake, and I think you might be doing the same thing. In the Video Streaming / GStreamer section of the docs, there’s a link with instructions you need to follow for Android. You have to enable that part before building. After I did that, the error was gone. Hope that helps!

6

@bylla_anusha which docs I don’t know please can you send me the link or anything related to this.

7

I’m a bit confused—since the QGC docs are the main guide, how were you able to do all the previous steps until now? I followed the QGC documentation for everything.

8

@bylla_anusha Chatgpt and Grok only I am not followed docs
can you send me the link which docs you followed.

9

I followed this documentation, and it gives the solution without any errors:
https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/Stable_V5.0/en/qgc-dev-guide/getting_started/
You can follow it too.
