It is possible to avoid loading opengl32sw.dll when OS have no opengl drivers ?
-
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.

@Christian-Ehrlicher Are you sure? Quick look at the Qt sources, and i see that opengl32sw.dll is loading using LoadLibrary win api function, there is no other way to load opengl functions.

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

@cristian-adam User also can install drivers, change OS, etc, but I have another question. It is possible create application without opengl32sw.dll dependency ? Maybe Qt6 will allow it?
