Why Qt platform plugin “xcb” cannot be loaded even though it was found?

QtCreator has a tab to set Host, SHH port, username, key file, etc. But there's no box where I could enter that -X option.

Could you give me some pointers?

I may be wrong but I don't think you currently can.

Out of curiosity, what is the reason for having a full X server running on your embedded target ?

Hi, I also run Qt apps on my Raspberry Pi, and when I had problems using the -platform xcb to connect to them, I instead use -platform vnc works fine.
(On my PC I use vncviewer.exe to connect)

I'm using X cause I tried (a lot) to run my apps on EGLFS with no success. I followed the RaspberryPi2EGLFS guide, from qt wiki, to build Qt for RPi, but never managed to make it work.

Do you know some other guide that could help me build Qt (EGLFS) for RPi?

P.S. Someone updated the RaspberryPi2EGLFS guide, so I'll give it a last try.

I'll try that. Thanks!

Any chance you are having trouble using a Raspbian Stretch root filesystem ?

@SGaist

What kind of trouble?

SGaist

The EGLFS issue.

Raspbian Stretch is the distribution used in RaspberryPi2EGLFS guide, and I followed each one of the steps described in that guide. So, I don't think there's something wrong with my root filesystem.
