OpenGL errors when updating app from Qt 5.12 to 5.15/6.x on Android

rdowell

I have an app which has been working fine on Qt 5.12 for a number of months, but attempting to update it to Qt 5.15 or 6.x is throwing a lot of OpenGL errors on Android, while it still builds fine on both Windows and Linux.

The compilation fails when including the header for my QOpenGLWidget subclass:

I get dozens of typedef errors just like the one above, but looking at the qopengles2ext.h file, the contents are mostly the same between 5.12 / 5.15 / 6.x, and the errors are all referring to typedefs that exist in both versions, not any new or modified ones.
