qtwayland: compilation errors while cross-building the xcomposite-egl plugin
-
I believe I'm almost there!
Until now I succeeded in cross-building almost all the Qt 5.7 modules on Ubuntu 14 for Raspberry Pi 2 "Pixel" edition (and by that I mean: qtbase, qt3d, qtcanvas3d, qtcharts, qtconnectivity, qtdatavis3d, qtdeclarative, qtgamepad, qtgraphicaleffects, qtimageformats, qtlocation, qtmultimedia, qtpurchasing, qtquickcontrols, qtquickcontrols2, qtscript, qtscxml, qtsensors, qtserialbus, qtserialport, qtsvg, qttools, qttranslations, qtvirtualkeyboard, qtwebchannel, qtwebengine, qtwebsockets, qtwebview, qtx11extras, qtxmlpatterns), but qtwayland.
To get there I followed a mix of instructions provided on 3 web sites. I got compilation problems with most of the Qt modules but they were due to missing libraries (both bins and devs packages on the pi) most of the time. Some also required packages to be installed on the host itself.
Nevertheless, for qtwaland the problems seem harder to resolve. I followed the instructions on the ICS site. The output of "qmake CONFIG+=wayland-compositor" gives:
Info: creating stash file /home/bart/src/qt57/qtwayland/.qmake.stash

make[4]: *** [.obj/qwaylandxcompositeeglwindow.o] Error 1At this point I'm not sure if the error is due to a missing library on the pi. That is why I installed extra packages on the pi, mostly anything related to egl and xcb compositors. But it seems it is not enough.
Does anyone have a hint about the cause of the above compilation errors?
As an alternative, it may be acceptable to know how I can disable the building of the xcomposite-egl plugin in qtwayland.
