    Unfortunately mythtv OpenGL works ok with on prebuild qt i.e. 5.5.1.
    I tested it on my test archlinux setup with prebuild qt - to verify that issue isn't in mythtv...
    Difference between test-bed (prebuild 5.5.1 qt on archlinux; works OK) and my project (minimyth2; working 5.4.1 updated to 5.5.1 not works) is:

    • in minimyth2 i'm cross compiling
    • minimyth2 has mesa18.1.3 (latest) while archlinux testbed has 11.1.2 mesa (archlinux has also other packages which are older - i.e. gcc or glibc - but I don't believe they are issue...)

    So issue is in my build of qt - not in mythtv nor qt itself I think.
    But I don't have idea how to move forward...

    EDIT: I just downgrade mesa to 11.1.2 (this version with prebuild qt5.5.1 works OK on my reference archlinux.) and rebuild qt5.5.1 on minimyth2.
    Unfortunately qt5.5.1 build from sources on minimyth2 still has broken OpenGL...

    What next is worth to downgrade?
    xcb?

      Let's sum up the situation:

      • What exact version of MythTV and Qt is working on what device ?
      • What is the target you are cross-compiling for ?
      • What does this device run as Linux distribution ?

        What exact version of MythTV and Qt is working on what device ?
        
        • works:
          mythtv: current mythtv-master; last working qt is 5.4.2
          device: I'm not using -device declarations at configure stage. Instead I'm creating custom platform with toolchain information

        • not works:
          mythtv: current mythtv-master; qt 5.5.0 or newer
          device: see above

        What is the target you are cross-compiling for ?
        
        • currently x86_64 (future: i386; armv7; aarch64)
        What does this device run as Linux distribution ?
        
        • if got question correctly: minimyth2

        Below is a bit more details how I'm building qt:

        I'm cross-compiling Qt by creating dedicated platform with created custom qmake.
        My custom qmake is based on qmake from "linux-g++-64".
        Basically I do following:

        1.create mkspec/linux-g++-64-garhost/qmake.conf by

        cat linux-g++-64/qmake.conf >> qmake.conf
        cat linux-g++-64/../common/linux.conf >> qmake.conf
        cat linux-g++-64/../common/unix.conf >> qmake.conf
        cat linux-g++-64/../common/gcc-base-unix.conf >> qmake.conf
        cat linux-g++-64/../common/gcc-base.conf >> qmake.conf
        cat linux-g++-64/../common/g++-unix.conf >> qmake.conf
        cat linux-g++-64/../common/g++-base.conf >> qmake.conf
        cat linux-g++-64/../common/shell-unix.conf >> qmake.conf
        
        1. Updating variables in created qmake. Following variables are updated to cross-compile toolchain:
        QMAKE_COPY
        QMAKE_YACC
        QMAKE_CC
        QMAKE_CXX
        QMAKE_LINK
        QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB
        QMAKE_AR
        QMAKE_RANLIB
        QMAKE_STRIP
        QMAKE_CFLAGS
        QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE
        QMAKE_LFLAGS
        QMAKE_INCDIR
        QMAKE_LIBDIR
        QMAKE_INCDIR_X11
        QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11
        QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL
        QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL
        QMAKE_INCDIR_EGL
        QMAKE_LIBDIR_EGL
        

        This process gives me custom qmake.conf. Here is file I'm using to build working 5.4.2 (and unfortunatelly no OpenGL 5.5.1):

        Above procedure works very well for qt up to 5.5.0 family. Since 5.5.0 build is perfectly clean - but opengl is not recognised by mythtv...

        If anybody is interested - here are full build logs for 5.4.2 (opengl working) and 5.5.1 (OpenGL not working)

        5.5.1 log

          Do you know how MythTV does the OpenGL detection.

          From a quick look at the logs, there's some differences in the EGLFS and KMS in the output.

            Ah - Yes. Logs from 5.5.1 build are with improved custom qmake where I started to add dependencies in hope that it will help. Difference regarding EGLFS/KMS are result of adding EGL related includes/libs from mesa

            QMAKE_INCDIR_EGL        =/home/piotro/minimyth-dev/images/main/usr/include
            QMAKE_LIBDIR_EGL        =/home/piotro/minimyth-dev/images/main/usr/lib
            

            But this obviously not helps :-(

            What intriguing me that:
            -issue appearance is aligned exactly to qt release change: 5.4->5.5
            -5.5.1 build from sources is perfectly clean (IMHO)
            -prebuild 5.5.1 on achlinux with the same mythtv works OK

            I don't see issue with my approach of cross-compiling Qt (it is working for me since years starting with qt4.8 and latter with qt5.3 and 5.4) - but maybe changes in 5.5 are prohibiting my way? But why 5.5.1 build is so clean?

            anyway: myth checking opengl here:

              Did you check whether the Archlinux version of Qt uses any special configuration stuff ?

                Of course. Arch has no any special things except:
                -archlinux is not cross-compiling
                -it has enabled (+ required dependencies) for all graphics variants (wayland, etc)

                here is arch build script:
                qt5.11 archlinux build script

                  Strange, they disable the examples but still build the tests...

                  Anyway, from what architecture are you cross-compiling from ?

                    Anyway, from what architecture are you cross-compiling from ?

                    • underlying os where build system runs is archlinux

                    • build system is GAR (GAR it is make based environment to build since scratch complete toolchain and next cross build all packages to create target appliance called minimyth2

                    • target system is minimyth2

                    Architecturally:

                    • underlying os is x86_64 (can be anything)
                    • GAR is x86_64
                    • minimyth2 can be: i386, x86_64, armv7 and aarch64

                    so far I have well working minimyth2 with qt5.4.1 for: i386, x86_64 and aarch64 (bcm2837). armv7 not tested yet.

                    So answering Your question: I'm cross compiling from x86_64 (GAR) to x86_64 (chosen minimyth2 target architecture in this exercise).

                      Ok, so in fact, your current test setup isn't really cross-compiling since you start and end with the exact same architecture.

                      What hardware are you using to run minimyth2 ?

                        Well - I would say: it IS cross compiling but in this exercise build, host and target are all x86_64. But only cpu arch is single common part.
                        All other vital components (gcc, glibc, binutils, kernel, qt, etc are different).

                        So pls don't be mislead: situation that build and target have declared the same architecture not means that there is no cross-compile.

                        What hardware are you using to run minimyth2 ?

                        It is any x86 or selected armv7 / aarch64 (bcm2837 tested)
                        For x86 I have users with: Intel NUC, ION1, ION2, multiple AMD (Kabini, Richland, etc).
                        Basically I'm supporting any x86 CPU and 1503 gfx cards out-of-box (with full auto detection and auto-configure)

                          I started to play with myth code to see what qt5.10.1 provides.
                          After disabling OpenGL checks I started to see:

                          QXcbIntegration: Cannot create platform OpenGL context, neither GLX nor EGL are enabled
                          

                          Of course I have libglx.so in /home/piotro/minimyth-dev/images/main/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions.

                          qt config summary also says GLX on X11:yes

                          X11:
                            Using system-provided XCB libraries .. yes
                            EGL on X11 ........................... yes
                            Xinput2 .............................. yes
                            XCB XKB .............................. yes
                            XLib ................................. yes
                            XCB render ........................... yes
                            XCB GLX .............................. yes
                            XCB Xlib ............................. yes
                            Using system-provided xkbcommon ...... yes
                            Native painting (experimental) ....... yes
                          

                          What are other possible reasons for such error?

                                I was thinking about this as well.
                                I made test build with qt build-in xcb (assuming bundled xcb for sure is OK).
                                OpenGL still not works.
                                Currently I think qt5.5+ has changed opengl subsystem in a way that my cross-build procedure earlier described in this thread (my message from 8 days ago) will not work anymore.

                                I think it is qt bug as:

                                • conceptually procedure is OK (IMHO)
                                • procedure works for qt5.4 and earlier
                                • qt5.10 configure says Yes in all places where needed
                                • qt5.10 build reports no errors nor related warnings

                                  Pls look at my earlier post where I put links to full build log with -verbose flag in configure.
                                  Pls look at 5.5.1.log (as 5.5 is first qt ver. where opengl not works for me.)
                                  Maybe You will discover something meaningful in build log.
                                  I can't :-(

                                    Issue was typo in filename of xcbintegration libs in my install script. argh....
                                    5.4.x family don't have those libs while 5.5+ has.
                                    I added images of those libs to boot image - but 2 letters in filename were in reverse order....

                                    thx anybody who was trying to help me!

                                        @SGaist said in qt5.4.1->qt5.5.1 [5.9.6; 5.10.1] - OpenGL builds OK but apps don't see it:

                                        oh it was

                                        libqxcb-glx-integration.so
                                        

                                        in

                                        /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/xcbglintegrations
                                        

                                        dir
                                        This .so is new addition since 5.5.
                                        may ppl has issues with nonworking OpenGL due missing this library after upgrade to 5.5 but forgotten to install this lib. (there is also EGL version of this lib btw)
                                        It is usually because packagers are frequently putting them the into separate package called usually xcbglintegrations plugins or similar.

                                        btw: I'm really impressed in increasing quality of qt regarding building process.
