Qt installation on Raspbian Jessie fails

onlydp

Hi guys,

some days ago I started to compile Qt for my Raspberry myself. I experienced a couple of problems with it, some of them I solved by asking in this forum. But because there have been even more problems each hour I run the make I gave up somehow and didn't post my problems in this forum anymore.

I spent a lot of time with searching for an alternative. After some time I found one: There is a compiled version of QT5 in the Raspbian Jessie repository (http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi). So I changed my "Sources.list" to that repository, ran "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" and installed all of the packages linked to qt5.

This is that I have installed (only the Qt5 packages itself)

Now I wanted to start my Qt creator: A little loading symbol could be seen and a task called Qt creator was been shown in the task manager. 10 seconds later the task and the waiting symbol disappeared. Waiting for an other minute doesn't help: The creator was killed somehow.

I reran "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" and some packages upgraded. Now I started Qt Creator again. Same result. Now I restarted my Pi and tried again. Same result.

I started the designer located in "usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin" - works. Assistant works ,too.

Cause I did start my project on the Windows version of Qt some days ago I had a programm to test qmake. The Makefile is generated. Running "make" ends without problems. Starting the generated program opens a task but no window. The task stays forever and doesn't end like the Qt creator. But this is fine. If the window would appear it would be pretty fine and I could work without the Qt creator just using the Qt framework. But it doesn't, so I think the two problems are somehow linked.

I uploaded the project to a Google Drive folder just in case someone thinks the second problem is linked to my sourcecode.

EDIT: Now tried to start my project in the console and get an error:

libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
Unable to find an X11 visual which matches EGL config 173
could not initalize OpenGL

I updated all libgles packages but nothing changes.
