can you post steps for cross compiling???
compiling libtorrent-rasterbar takes hours in raspberry.I tried 1.0.6,1.0.8,1.1.0.But it always failed.(i was trying with python-bind or similar option to make it usable both for qbittorrent & deluge).Even after spending 2 days in compiling libtorrent ,it didn't work.

When i try to install the qbittorrent --branch v4_0_x i am getting an error
checking for QT5 qmake >= 5.5.1... /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmake
checking for qt5Svg... no
configure: error: Package requirements (Qt5Svg >= 5.5.1) were not met:

No package 'Qt5Svg' found

Do you know how i could resolve this?
