Unable to cross-compile using CLion - GL/gl.h missing - Yes the packages are installed

mpdasa

First off, I do have all the OpenGL dev packages installed and the headers are located at /usr/include. I am trying to cross compile for an iMX8 development board. The board is running Boot2QT fine. I can successfully compile my sample project and install the application using QT Creator. I don't like QT Creator very much, and I am very used to IntelliJ IDEs, so I am attempting to use CLion. I converted the .pro to a CMakeLists.txt, and everything seems ok. My environment is also setup in CLion. The compilation goes along well until it fails to find GL/gl.h. Any suggestions are welcome.

CMakeLists.txt:

project( weatherinfo)
cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.1 )
set( CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17 )
set( CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON )

set( CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON )
set( CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON )
set( CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)

set( CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release )
set( CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "/home/strongadmin/Qt/5.12.10/gcc_64/")

add_definitions ( -Wall )
find_package ( Qt5Core REQUIRED )
find_package ( Qt5Network REQUIRED )
find_package ( Qt5Positioning REQUIRED )
find_package ( Qt5Qml REQUIRED )
find_package ( Qt5Quick REQUIRED )
find_package ( Qt5SerialPort REQUIRED )

set ( weatherinfo_SRCS
		main.cpp
		appmodel.cpp
		weatherinfo.qrc
		)

add_executable ( weatherinfo ${weatherinfo_SRCS} )
target_link_libraries ( weatherinfo Qt5::Core Qt5::Network Qt5::Positioning Qt5::Qml Qt5::Quick Qt5::SerialPort)

I have tried changing the above CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the sysroot for the yocto project but I get various errors. Also I cannot find any GL/gl.h in the yocto SDK sysroot. I assume that is fine since i can successfully compile in QT Creator and install without any problems.

Here is the error:

Also adding find_package (OpenGL REQUIRED) fails:

I also fails the same way when I use the embedded CLion CMake.

I have narrowed it down to some environment setup issues, as I can compile fine via command line. I will post once I have it figured out.

Ok I have solved the problem. I was already using:

source /opt/b2qt/2.5.3/environment-setup-aarch64-poky-linux

to setup the environment before I launched Clion, but apparently there were some sub scripts that run making an alias of cmake with:

alias cmake="cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT/usr/share/cmake/OEToolchainConfig.cmake"

Clion ignores this alias, so I had to add those flags to the cmake options area in Clion under Build, Execution, Deployment -> Cmake -> Cmake options, I also had to fill in the variable $OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT, as clion could not resolve that. Here is what I added:

-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/opt/b2qt/2.5.3/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/share/cmake/OEToolchainConfig.cmake

After that everything was compiling perfectly fine.
