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

What exact packages did you install for OpenGL development ?

UltraBurstXD · S SGaist 14 Dec 2020, 15:22

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

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

UltraBurstXD · wrote on 14 Dec 2020, 16:33

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...

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.

The one provided by my distro is outdated, very outdated.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

SGaist · wrote on 14 Dec 2020, 19:47

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

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

Did you actually ran the offline installer ?

UltraBurstXD · 15 Dec 2020, 07:52

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

@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 · 15 Dec 2020, 08:03

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

jsulm · 15 Dec 2020, 08:11

@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 · 15 Dec 2020, 08:13

@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 · wrote on 15 Dec 2020, 08:13

@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 · 15 Dec 2020, 08:23

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

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

jsulm · wrote on 15 Dec 2020, 08:23

@UltraBurstXD You did NOT download the offline installer, you downloaded the source code. Can you please post the exact file name you downloaded?

UltraBurstXD · 15 Dec 2020, 08:36

It turns out I downloaded Qt 5.15.x Source Packages... My internet data plan... And it can't configure because of OpenGL.

jsulm · wrote on 15 Dec 2020, 08:36

@UltraBurstXD Didn't you want to install Qt using offline installer as @SGaist suggested? So, what do you want to do now? It is much much easier to install prebuild Qt than to build it by yourself. I suggest you use offline or (better) online installer to install prebuild Qt.
