I have a static qml application (qt 5.15), and i just want to distribute only one binary file to my customer. And all working fine, while customer have graphics driver in the system. But there is a certain percentage of customers who do not have opengl32 drivers, and in this case, i need to supply a opengl32sw.dll (software implementation) file next to the application, but i want to avoid this, is it possible?
There is no way to distribute opengl32sw.dll inside application, in resources maybe?
Or perhaps this problem is solved by switching to RHI backend ?
I will be glad for any advice. -
It's not possible until you compile opengl32sw statically by yourself.

You could also fix the issue with ... documentation. The user can install the OpenCL™ and OpenGL® Compatibility Pack from the Microsoft Store.

Qt Quick is dependent on OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, Metal, or Direct X depending on platform.
