How can I configure QT source code if it can't detect default installed OpenGl ES?

[SGaist]

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you install the corresponding development packages on your system ?

[UltraBurstXD]

@SGaist, yes I did.

[SGaist]

Since everything related to OpenGL are marked as no, it means that the detection have all failed. You should check the logs to see what exactly happened.

What exact packages did you install for OpenGL development ?

[UltraBurstXD]

@SGaist,
libgl-dev, freeglut3-dev, mesa-common-dev and another related. Ubuntu build-essential package too...

[SGaist]

Did you restart the build from a clean state after you installed the development packages ?

[UltraBurstXD]

How do I do that? I'm new in C++, I came from Java. The "clean state" thing... But did some tests, openGL works well for me in the terminal...

[SGaist]

Use an out of source build and nuke it if something goes wrong.

By the way, why are you trying to build from sources ? You can either use the version provided with your distribution or the pre-built version provided by the Qt Company.

[UltraBurstXD]

The one provided by my distro is outdated, very outdated. I downloaded the "offline installer" because there are times I'm without internet.

[SGaist]

The offline installer already provides you with a pre-built Qt.

[UltraBurstXD]

How do I activate it? In tutorial they where explaining how to build from source only... From what I remember. I kinda read the readme file... And the instruction in readme file is:

./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase <license> -nomake tests
    make -j 4

[SGaist]

Did you actually ran the offline installer ?

[UltraBurstXD]

There is no runnable binary, for what I can see. Or I don't know the name... There are many modules here.

[jsulm]

@UltraBurstXD The offline installer is just one file. But offline installers are not available anymore for open source users (without commercial license). So, what exactly did you download?

[UltraBurstXD]

I downloaded here: https://www.qt.io/offline-installers

[jsulm]

@UltraBurstXD As I said: offline installer is just one file. Make it executable (chmod u+x OFFLINE_INSTALLER_FILE) and execute it. No need to build anything.

[UltraBurstXD]

@jsulm I don't know name of offline installer... It's my first time using qt... perhaps should I specify qt modules path to qt creator? And configure the environment variables?

[jsulm]

@UltraBurstXD Lets do one step after another: you downloaded the offline installer, is that correct? Like http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.12/5.12.10/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.12.10.run

[UltraBurstXD]

Yes, I did and extracted the files to home. As seen:

The archive name is qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2.tar.xz
