EGLFS problem of Qt 5.7 on Raspberry

ascnp

Hi guys.
I now face a strange problem.
I just cross compile and build and install qt5.7 on raspberry pi3. Everything seems well, but when I want to use eglfs, it shows

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "eglfs"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

but my platforms.so files are already install in the /usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms, show as follow.

lxy@lxy:/usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms$ ls
libqeglfs.a      libqlinuxfb.so      libqminimal.prl    libqxcb.a
libqeglfs.prl    libqminimal.a       libqminimal.so     libqxcb.prl
libqeglfs.so     libqminimalegl.a    libqoffscreen.a    libqxcb.so
libqlinuxfb.a    libqminimalegl.prl  libqoffscreen.prl
libqlinuxfb.prl  libqminimalegl.so   libqoffscreen.so

And I also run ldd libqeglfs.so and it shows as follow.

All libs are linked but why it still cannot find eglfs? How to fix it?

After I added QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH, it shows as folllow.

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "eglfs"
in "/usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms".

Available platform plugins are: eglfs (from /usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms), linuxfb (from /usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms), minimal (from /usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms), minimalegl (from /usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms), offscreen (from /usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms), xcb (from /usr/local/qt5pi-5.7/plugins/platforms), linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb.

I'm really confused. Why the application failed to find eglfs, but qt says eglfs is available. And the eglfs is under the same path as I set.
I really need help!

@ascnp It probably failed to load the plug-in. Is the plug-in built for the same architecture? Is the file maybe corrupted?
Set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS variable before starting your application, maybe you will then see what happens (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/debug.html).

@jsulm I have rebuilt the qt5.7 and finally it can use, thanks for your help!

@ascnp Could you please share the guide you followed to build the cross compilation environment for pi?
