Compiling QT5 without X11

Dig Kleppe

Re: Compiling Qt 5 without X11 nor Wayland
I have QT5.5 running at my imx6 board.
I need 5.10. I compiled QT without X11 and static libs (at least i try) but the application wants
libXext.so.6.

My configuration:

./configure -opensource -confirm-license -v -no-shared -static
-prefix /usr/local/qt5 -extprefix $HOME/imx6/qt5 -device linux-imx6-g++
-no-xcb-xlib -eglfs -opengl es2
-skip qt3d -skip webengine -skip qtwayland -skip qtxmlpatterns -skip qtserialbus -skip qtdeclarative
-skip qttools -skip qtscript -nomake examples -nomake tests\
-device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/poky/1.8.2/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-
-sysroot /opt/poky/1.8.2/sysroots/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/

In my config.summary:

QPA backends:
DirectFB ............................... no
EGLFS .................................. yes
EGLFS details:
EGLFS OpenWFD ........................ no
EGLFS i.Mx6 .......................... yes
EGLFS i.Mx6 Wayland .................. yes

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Isn't -no-xcb what you want ?

Dig Kleppe

That is what I want.
If i do -no-xcb whithout -xlib I get more X11 lib stuff.

I recommend these links to compile static, download the fonts and configure what you need:

https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
https://doc.qt.io/QtForDeviceCreation/qtee-static-linking.html

In addition to -no-xlib set up also removing -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtmacextras -skip qtwayland -skip qtwinextras support, I do so.

No matter what I do my application keeps complaining:

error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Why is this X11 lib needed? What am I missing?
It was not needed in QT4.8

I skipped everything I don't need:
