Build Qt5.9.1: error: invalid conversion from ‘xcb_window_t {aka unsigned int}’ to ‘EGLNativeWindowType {aka void*}’ [-fpermissive]

Hi all,

I want to cross compile Qt5.9.1 for Raspberry Pi 3.
After configuring the Qt I ran make.
After about 1 hour I got following errors:

Does anyone know how I can solve these errors?

Kind regards,

Hi,

Are you locked to that old version of Qt ?
If not, you should update to Qt 5.12 and check if things get better.

Hi @MHermann ,
Did you solve this problem? I use Qt5.12.3, and the errors are the same. Thanks!

I had the same problems with a Raspberry pi 3 and Qt 5.12.3 LTS from source.
The configuration steps showed that I have EGLFS ok, and Raspberry pi EGL module as 'yes' / 'ok', but on 'make' step, it gave the very same error as above.
I then tried to compile Qt 5.10 from source, because of reasons... No luck, same error. I tried with other config parameters and still no go, then I've found somebody over the internet saying that 'sudo rpi-update' would do the trick. I've updated the kernel / firmware trough 'rpi-update' and it worked. I have Qt 5.10 working!
I'm even thinking in try the Qt 5.12.3 again, but I tired of compilations by now...
