Description JD Conley 2017-12-04 22:49:39 UTC

I have been successfully building a QT5 application for aarch64 using the Linaro toolchain, including QT5Declarative, which uses JSCore.

But I had to modify the qt5 package Config.in file.

Is this just an oversight or am I missing something and JSCore has some major issues on aarch64? Looking at your git repo, architecture support for JSCore appears to have not been updated for four years.

JD,

Thanks for your report.

If you have successfully built/ and run QT5_JSCORE on AArch64,
Then we'd like to have the patch applied in Buildroot, yes.

However, we do not take patches from the bug reports. Please
submit it to the list, as instructed in the manual:
    https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#submitting-patches

Thank you! :-)
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
