    Hi,
    I am building Qt5 with an OpenEmbedded (https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5) build environment for a TI am335x armv7 board using a gcc linaro v4.9 toolchain.

    I am able to build, compile, and install every Qt5 package I need... from qtbase and qtdeclarative to qtwebkit. However, here recently, when I try to run any QtQML app, I receive the following error message on my target hardware:

    • gbm_create_device: invalid fd: -1
      libEGL warning: GLX: failed to load GLX
      Could not initialize egl display

    I do not need GLX because I do not need a initialize OpenGL to an X Window System. I want to use EGL to initialize OpenGL, OpenGL ES1, and OpenGL ES2 to a Window System.
    How do I verify that my Qt packages are configuring, compiling, and installing with EGL and not GLX?

    Here is my configuration statement. As you can see, I have set to configure with items like opengl, eglfs, no-x, etc...

    Is there another Qt package for Qt command where I need to set to make sure the window systems & OpenGL for Qt are using EGL and -no-glx?

    Because I am using a TI hardware, I am using omap3 pkg to provide the egl, gles1, gles2 libs; the mesa pkg for gl libraries; and the PowerVR SGX series for gpu drivers.

    Maybe a more general question will at least point me in the right direction... What is the different between libEGL and EGL? I understood that EGL and GLX are the initialisms for window systems, but the error message says libEGL is trying to use GLX which makes me think there is a different between libEGL and EGL.

    Any help, suggestions, or general comments will be appreciated.
    Thanks.
