How to choose the version of Qt

[jingyangxie]

Sometimes,the default version of Qt in  yocto Project cannot meet our need,for example,in imx-4.1.15-1.0.0_ga，the default version is Qt5.5.1,but I want  to use Qt5.6, So can we specify the version of Qt in yocto Project according to our need?

Can anyone knows?

look at the meta-qt5 community --  GitHub - meta-qt5/meta-qt5: QT5 layer for openembedded

The krogoth branch seems supports QT5.6.

Replace sources/meta-qt5 with the new version to build QT5.6

Hi,Jun Zhu,when I download the zip from GitHub - meta-qt5/meta-qt5: QT5 layer for openembedded,I replaced source /meta-qt5,but when I used bitbake fsl-image-qt5,it reported the error :

fsl-release-bsp/sources/meta-qt5/classes/qmake5_base.bbclass:50: cound not inherit file classes/remove-libtool.bbclass

Can you tell me how to solve this problem?

thanks for answering my question,but I'm not familiar to yocto,can you list some steps to replace sources/meta/qt5 with the new version to build qt5.6?
