I don't think you will be able to create a deb file on the RPi.
I've already attempted it and lot of test units fail.
Mostly because the code uses qreal in various places and on an ARM architecture they behave differently than on a desktop.
The test failure in your case is different, but even if we solve it, you won't reach the end in any case.
Sorry

Can't we just disable the tests that fail?

[mcallegari]

Nope !
Tests are there to validate the code. If we disable it, they become meaningless.

You can try to comment the tests in the .pro files, but just for your own purposes.
Place a "#" at the beginning of these lines:

Code: Select all

engine/engine.pro
	SUBDIRS += test
ui/ui.pro
	SUBDIRS += test

See if that goes to the end of the deb
