How can I configure QT source code if it can't detect default installed OpenGl ES?
Unsolved
Installation and Deployment

@jsulm I don't know name of offline installer... It's my first time using qt... perhaps should I specify qt modules path to qt creator? And configure the environment variables?
@UltraBurstXD Lets do one step after another: you downloaded the offline installer, is that correct? Like http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.12/5.12.10/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.12.10.run
-
Yes, I did and extracted the files to home. As seen:
The archive name is qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2.tar.xz

@UltraBurstXD You did NOT download the offline installer, you downloaded the source code. Can you please post the exact file name you downloaded?
-
It turns out I downloaded Qt 5.15.x Source Packages... My internet data plan... And it can't configure because of OpenGL.

@UltraBurstXD Didn't you want to install Qt using offline installer as @SGaist suggested? So, what do you want to do now? It is much much easier to install prebuild Qt than to build it by yourself. I suggest you use offline or (better) online installer to install prebuild Qt.
-
Then lets go from scratch:
cd /somewhere_NOT_in_Qt_source mkdir build_Qt cd build_Qt /path_to_Qt_sources/configure -nomake tests -nomake examplesWhat do you get now ?
-
You cannot make a shadow build from a source tree containing a previous build. Cannot proceed. -
I guess you kept the original archive, if so, just nuke the sources and extract them again. Then redo the procedure suggested above.
-
New error:
Info: creating super cache file /home/USER/build_Qt/.qmake.super Info: creating cache file /home/USER/build_Qt/.qmake.cache ERROR: Unknown command line option '-nomake'. -
Please show the exact line you use.
-
Which line?
~/qt_source/configure -nomake tests -nomake examplesThat one?
-
Wait, are you building from a git clone or from the source archives ?
Which version exactly are you trying to build ? -
macOS and Linux source archives. The version is 5.15.2 LTS. I'm trying to follow the instruction above.
-
Where did you get the sources ?
-
-
It doesn't accept any 'configure' options... Tried nearly all, the only it accepts is '-help' so far...
-
And what does it show you in that case ?

~/build_Qt$ ~/qt_source/configure -help + cd qtbase + /home/[User_Name]/qt_source/qtbase/configure -top-level -help Usage: configure [options] [assignments] Configure understands variable assignments like VAR=value on the command line. Each uppercased library name (obtainable with -list-libraries) supports the suffixes _INCDIR, _LIBDIR, _PREFIX (INCDIR=PREFIX/include, LIBDIR=PREFIX/lib), _LIBS, and - on Windows and Darwin - _LIBS_DEBUG and _LIBS_RELEASE. E.g., ICU_PREFIX=/opt/icu42 ICU_LIBS="-licui18n -licuuc -licudata". It is also possible to manipulate any QMAKE_* variable, to amend the values from the mkspec for the build of Qt itself, e.g., QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=-g3. Note that the *_LIBS* and QMAKE_* assignments manipulate lists, so items containing meta characters (spaces in particular) need to be quoted according to qmake rules. On top of that, the assignments as a whole need to be quoted according to shell rules. It is recommended to use single quotes for the inner quoting and double quotes for the outer quoting. Top-level installation directories: -prefix <dir> ...... The deployment directory, as seen on the target device. [/usr/local/Qt-$QT_VERSION; qtbase build directory if -developer-build] -extprefix <dir> ... The installation directory, as seen on the host machine. [SYSROOT/PREFIX] -hostprefix [dir] .. The installation directory for build tools running on the host machine. If [dir] is not given, the current build directory will be used. [EXTPREFIX] -external-hostbindir <path> ... Path to Qt tools built for this machine. Use this when -platform does not match the current system, i.e., to make a Canadian Cross Build. Fine tuning of installation directory layout. Note that all directories except -sysconfdir should be located under -prefix/-hostprefix: -bindir <dir> ......... Executables [PREFIX/bin] -headerdir <dir> ...... Header files [PREFIX/include] -libdir <dir> ......... Libraries [PREFIX/lib] -archdatadir <dir> .... Arch-dependent data [PREFIX] -plugindir <dir> ......

Host libraries [HOSTPREFIX/lib] -hostdatadir <dir> .... Data used by qmake [HOSTPREFIX] Conventions for the remaining options: When an option's description is followed by a list of values in brackets, the interpretation is as follows: 'yes' represents the bare option; all other values are possible prefixes to the option, e.g., -no-gui. Alternatively, the value can be assigned, e.g., --gui=yes. Values are listed in the order they are tried if not specified; 'auto' is a shorthand for 'yes/no'. Solitary 'yes' and 'no' represent binary options without auto-detection. Configure meta: -help, -h ............ Display this help screen -verbose, -v ......... Print verbose messages during configuration -continue ............ Continue configure despite errors -redo ................ Re-configure with previously used options. Additional options may be passed, but will not be saved for later use by -redo. -recheck [test,...] .. Discard cached negative configure test results. Use this after installing missing dependencies.

So it's working fine and "-nomake" is listed as well.
So, if you call the just configure from a new empty folder outside of Qt sources, what do you get ?
-
Wow, now it strangely worked... Now I'm getting:
