Stop.It's a shadow build. With the following config

If you don't have to build Qt by yourself you can install Qt 5.7 - it was officially released.

With 5.6 you needed to build if to enable the -opengl desktop option. I assume you still need to do this with 5.7.Cheers

Hi,
There's no need to rebuild Qt for that. By default Qt does auto-detection and loads the desktop backend if an adequate driver is available on the computer otherwise it loads the ANGLE backend however you can configure that per-application. See here for more information.

@SGaist Yes I'll have another look at it. But when I was using 5.6 some of the OpenGL shader demos would not run under windows without a hand build Qt with the -opengl desktop option.
I have built 5.7 from the same git branch under linux with no drama. I'll try and do another build on a clean windows machine (my build environment may not be in the best shape).
Thanks.
