QT5 cmake and libGlesv2

Martell Malone

Hi guys I'm back again with another issue.

I want to link libEGL and libGLESv2 on the windows build of qt into my project.

I've had a look at the cmake modules you use but QT5Openglconfig.cmake doesn't link them.
Also it doesn't add the lib path to link_directories either to make the process easier.

Has anyone come across this or am I missing something?

Many thanks
Martell

I had a go at creating a QT cmake config file for it but no joy

The dependency should be in the QtGui cmake file if anywhere.

Is there a separate cmake file for EGL or GLES2 by any chance?

Martell Malone

Sorry for the late reply ZapB.

Its not in the QtGui cmakefile and there is no seperate cmake file for EGL or GLES2.

I have linked it manually but this isn't exactly the best solution.

The reason I need to link it is because I'm accessing the opengles functions directly, otherwise you wouldn't usually have to.

Perhaps due to the fact that most qt users wouldn't need to do that is why there is no cmake file?

Hi,

I would expect Qt to link to thos libraries as dependencies. Calling OpenGL ES 2 functions directly is a valid thing to do and since Qt itself uses those and allows you to use them with nothing but QtGui I would expect all GUI Qt apps to link to them.

Could you file a bug report at bugreports.qt-project.org about this stating that you are using cmake please? Please post the link on here when done and I will keep an eye on it.

Thanks.

Hi zap I created the bug report, hope my description is good enough :)

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-29132

I explained what I'm doing in cmake and
I also tagged it as QTGUI::OpenGL

Many thanks
