qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2 fails to build xcb plation

[Brownwrap]

I can build QT, but it never builds the xcb platform. I have all of the requirements as far as I can tell. The Makefile finds the xcb libraries, yet it just doesn't build. I am on a RHEL 7. Has anyone completed a successful build on RHEL 7?

[SGaist]

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Check the test results to see exactly what failed.

The summary at the end of the configuration phase will also give some information.

[Brownwrap]

@SGaist That's part of the problem. The source compiles, "make check" doesn't return any errors. "make installs" completes without and warnings and installs the platform it did make. I am trying to actually build octave. When I start octave, it says it can't find the xcb platorm, but list the ones that did build.

[Brownwrap]

@Brownwrap I have search this error and found many solutions, but none of them fit me:

Got keys from plugin meta data ("webgl")
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/software7/depot/octave-f812dd8304d9/libexec/octave/9.0.0/exec/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/platforms" ...
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, webgl.

Aborted (core dumped)

[SGaist]

As suggested, look at the test logs. They will contain the information about the failure.

That said, are you sure you installed all the required development packages for the xcb backend to be built ?

[Brownwrap]

@Brownwrap As stated I went through the logs. The configure log, the make log, and the "make check" log. I only came here after spending a week on this. I built the xcb from source since the RHEL 7 version wasn't new enough. I build X11 and mesa from source, QT, and octave from source, but stumped on this issue. I search this issue online before posting here. I just thought someone here might have built it sucessfully.

From the looks of your summary, you are missing xkbcommon.

[jsulm]

@Brownwrap said in qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2 fails to build xcb plation:

I built that missing library

How?
There is no need to build it by yourself. Simply install it from your Linux distribution packages and also install xkbcommon-dev.

[Brownwrap]

@jsulm Many of the packages I built, because the packages from RHEL 7 were too old.

[Cryptik]

@Brownwrap
So I am having a similar problem here... I have built Qt 5.15.2 for linux ARM and the configure, make, and make install steps go just fine. I did install the x11 dependencies and configure appears to show that it finds everything.

When trying to run one of the GUI tools, I get this error...

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl.

Spent just about three days on this and I am not getting anywhere.

Ultimately, I don't need to run the Qt GUI tools. I am trying to build QGroundControl from source and it requires Qt 5.15.2. After building and installing Qt, I then try to build

QGroundControl and get a similar qt X11 error as follows:

[Cryptik]

@Cryptik
Again, posting this here for others that may have the same problem that I did. I deleted my build folder and ran configure again but with a few extra parameters as follows:

../configure -debug -prefix /opt/Qt5.15.2 -opensource -nomake tests -skip webengine -qt-xcb -qt-xkbcommon

It seems that switching xcd and xkbcommon to qt versions fixed it for me. I can now launch the assistant and designer tools. The build of qgroundcontrol also now works.
