Qmake can't find configuration file

Question

I built yocto image with meta-qt5.Image has been built successfully.But When I select qmake from Tools->Options->Build&Run->Qt Version in Qt creator I receive the following error:

Could not read qmake configuration file /home/yusuf/yocto/poky/bananaProHf/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/home/yusuf/yocto/poky/bananaProHf/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/qt5/mkspecs/linux-oe-g++/qmake.conf.

It seems that Qt searches the "qmake configuration file" in a wrong directory level. The correct target directory for this search should have been: "/home/yusuf/yocto/poky/bananaProHf/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/qt5/mkspecs/linux-oe-g++/qmake.conf." Somehow it seems QT duplicates the "yusuf/yocto/poky/bananaProHf/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux" part in the search address. Any ideas about this weird behaviour? Thanks in advance for the help.

You need to compile the SDK toolchain for Qt Creator instead of just using the qmake.conf in Yocto.

Use bitbake meta-toolchain-qt5 to compile the SDK, install it. You will find qmake in a directory similar to this one. /opt/poky/1.6.1/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/qt5/qmake
