Is there an updated version of this guide? I recently bought a Libra 2 and wanted to try something fun with it. I have no experience with Qt or Linux, so I would really appreciate some help.
I looked at the Qt's download archives and the kobolabs github page and it seems like there is an updated version of the toolchain and I also see Qt 5 and 6. So I tried using this guide (on Ubuntu 20.4), just substituting Qt 4.8.5 with 5.15.2 and gcc linaro 4.8 with 4.9.4. Unfortunately, things didn't work out. Some things have changed, like the folder structured of the extracted Qt source files, no qws, some configuration options have changed, etc. I was able to figure some things out, but still got a lot of warnings and errors when I run "make". I think I must have done a lot of things wrong, but I have no idea what.

I have creeped around and this is the only guide which comprehensively details all the steps and the commands that need to entered in the terminal. You've done a really good job at explaining things for newbies like me. It would be great if you could post an update to it. Thanks!
