Cross compile Qt5.12.9 for raspberry pi 3b+ succeeds except OpenGL


  • Hello folks,

    for cross compiling Qt5.12.9 for a Raspberry Pi 3b+ I followed the blog post https://mechatronicsblog.com/cross-compile-and-deploy-qt-5-12-for-raspberry-pi/
    and https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS. I've also run update-rpi before rsyncing my sysroot. Compiling succeeds. I also have support for eglfs on the pi. But I can't get openGl to work.

    QOpenGLFramebufferObject: Framebuffer incomplete attachment.

    I have tried so many different combinations of symlinks, qmake.conf file edits (adding brcm), targets pi3-g++ and pi-g++, and whatever, I just can't get it to work.
    I only see a white blank screen. There are pieces in my QML code that make use of OpacityMask and DropShadow to style an image. If I comment them out, the app runs just fine.

    For example, here is my latest build with the pi-g++ device:

    And now the really strange part -> maybe this is a bug?
    I can display the image (with mask, and dropshadow) itself.
    But I can not load it as a delegate from a DelegateModel like following (this is when I see the open gl errors from above):

    DelegateModel{      
    id: mydelegatemodel      
    model: kidmodel      
    delegate: RoundShadowIcon{      
        id: item      
        width: grid.cellWidth;      
        height: grid.cellHeight;      
    }      
}      
GridView{      
    clip: true      
    id: grid      
    anchors.fill: parent      
    cellWidth: 100      
    cellHeight: 100      
    model: mydelegatemodel      
}

    RoundShadowIcon.qml:

    import QtQuick 2.12
import QtGraphicalEffects 1.12

Item {
    Image {
        id: face
        source: "file:///usr/local/qt5pi/examples/myapp/cache/someimage.png"
        sourceSize: Qt.size(parent.width, parent.height)
        width: parent.width
        height: parent.height
        fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectCrop
        smooth: true
        visible: false
    }
    Rectangle{
        id: mask
        anchors.fill: parent
        radius: main.radius_
        visible: false
    }
    OpacityMask {
        id: round
        anchors.fill: face
        source: face
        maskSource: mask
    }
    DropShadow {
        id: shadow
        anchors.fill: parent
        horizontalOffset: 0
        verticalOffset: 0
        radius: 12.0
        samples: 17
        source: round
    }
}
