[SOLVED] Qt on Slackware Linux

andreyc

Run these commands in a shell command prompt.

Run it in separate directory from your project directory.
For example if your .pro file is located in
/home/user/workspace/myproject
then
@
cd /home/user/workspace/
mkdir build-myproject
cd build-myproject
export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
qmake -recursive ../myproj
make
@

Sleicreider

it says: bash: qmake-recursive: command not found

andreyc

There is a space between qmake and -recursive

Sleicreider

it says: qmake command not found,
also can't find a qmake or qmake-qt5 with

which qmake

or

which qmake-qt5

btw: i used the online installer straight from the qt website(.run)

andreyc

The try to run qmake with full path.
Let say you have Qt installed in /home/user/Qt5.2.1
then run it
@
/home/user/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/gcc/bin/qmake
@

Sleicreider

thats the output in the terminal:

I don't see any error message in the output.
Does it mean that issue is gone ?
Does your app works without any error messages ?

Sleicreider

It still appears in the application output :
Starting /home/user/QT C++/myproject/myproject...
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.

Application still works fine.

I have no idea, but it's working so doesn't matter i think xD

andreyc

What if you will run your app with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
something like
@
export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
/home/user/QT C++/myproject/myproject…
@

If it does not bother you then you can run your app and redirect all output to /dev/null
@
/home/user/QT C++/myproject/myproject… > /dev/null 2>&1
@

Sleicreider

first one without root:

libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so
libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so

with root:
Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so
libGL: Can't open configuration file /root/.drirc: No such file or directory.

I also tried the second one.
Whats the reason, to redirect the output to /dev/null ^^

andreyc

About /dev/null.
It will hide your error messages and you will not worry about it. :-)

Some GNU/Linuxes have a "video" group and only members of that group are allowed to use opengl.
Could you check if Slackware has such restriction. If so then add your self to that video group re-login and try to run your app again.

Sleicreider

i just added my self with $usermod -aG video <username>
-> in /etc/group its says video:x:18:

but same error still appears.

andreyc

do you see the same error if you run "glxinfo":http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/glxinfo/ or glxgears
@
glxinfo
glxgears
@

Sleicreider

under normal user: for both
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.

under root:

its seems to run without errors.

andreyc

what does the following commands show
@
id
ls -l /dev/dri
@

Sleicreider

I'll try it on monday when i'm on my workstation pc again :)

Sleicreider

bash-4.2$ id
uid=1000(username) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),18(video)

bash-4.2$ ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 Mar 24 08:32 card0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 64 Mar 24 08:32 controlD64

andreyc

I'm running out of ideas :-)
Maybe this last one

Do you have Mesa libraries installed?
What ldd on your app shows?
@
ldd yourapp | grep libGL
@

And one more.
When you start qtcreator does it show the same error as your app?
If you build any Qt examples and start them do they show the same error?

Sleicreider

bash-4.2$ ldd myapp | grep libGL
libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1 (0x00007f79fab6b000)

somehow i get no error anymore, lol.
(i started the same project)

I also started an OpenGL example. no errors.
:)

idk what happened.

andreyc

Glad to hear that issue is resolved.
