Enabling Qt5.x.x support by meta qt5

If you are interested in Qt5 support for your image it is recommended to read Qt for Embedded Linux first. I have tested Qt5 support on both the Neo and the Quad/Dual family without X11/Wayland.Instead of X11/Wayland we do use EGLFS support. This tutorial is based on the Qt5 on wandboard tutorial

Clone the meta-qt5 layer into your source dir

$ cd ${BSPDIR}/sources/
$ git clone -b jethro https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5.git

Prepare your build environment

$ source ./setup-environment build

Add the Qt5 Layer to your con/bblayers.conf file

Index: build/conf/bblayers.conf

Using Qt5.6 with the master branch

If you are planning to use Qt5.6 with it is recommended to use the jansa/master-5.6 branch.

$ cd ${BSPDIR}/sources/
git clone -b jansa/master-5.6 https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/tree/jansa/master-5.6
