How to update QT 5.5 to QT5.8 on Yocto Project 2.4?

[wangtsungli]

Hi community,

Before I used Yocto Project 2.4, I was working on Yocto Project 2.0 with QT 5.5 version.

However, while I change to Yocto Project 2.4 I find out that eglfs is not working on Yocto 2.4.

As this reason, I want to update QT version from 5.5 to 5.8 separately on Yocto 2.0 version.

How to do that?

Or there are any other suggestions?

Thanks in Advanced!

You can go into meta-qt5 directory and switch to a branch that contains QT5.8 using git. I think pyro branch of meta-qt5 contains QT5.8. Though I am not sure if this is the correct approach. Switching to another branch may cause incompatibilities with existing layers or recipes.
