Qt 5.7 static build on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit: configure no module scenegraph

Erriez

My goal is to create one 64-bit Linux executable by using static Qt libraries for deployment. I try to follow the description on this website chapter "Configuring Qt for Linux", but encounter several configuration/build errors:

Fresh Ubuntu 16.04.01 64-bit installation
All packages installed from qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.7.1.run
Create new Qt Widgets Application with Qt Creator
Build the application

Build output: Cannot find -lGL:
Fix:
$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

I copied the complete ./configure command from:
http://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/ifw-getting-started.html

$ cd ~/Qt5.7.1/5.7/Src/
$ ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase \
-release \
-static \
-accessibility \
-qt-zlib \
-qt-libpng \
-qt-libjpeg \
-qt-xcb \
-qt-pcre \
-qt-freetype \
-no-glib \
-no-cups \
-no-sql-sqlite \
-no-qml-debug \
-no-opengl \
-no-egl \
-no-xinput \
-no-xinput2 \
-no-sm \
-no-icu \
-nomake examples \
-nomake tests \
-skip qtactiveqt \
-skip qtenginio \
-skip qtlocation \
-skip qtmultimedia \
-skip qtserialport \
-skip qtquick1 \
-skip qtquickcontrols \
-skip qtscript \
-skip qtsensors \
-skip qtwebkit \
-skip qtwebsockets \
-skip qtxmlpatterns \
-skip qt3d

Output:
	-no-xinput: invalid command-line switch
	Attempting to skip non-existent module qtenginio.
    
Fixed by removing: 
	-no-xinput
	-skip qtenginio

Run ./configure again:
	Attempting to skip non-existent module qtquick1.
    
Fixed by removing:
	-skip qtquick1
    
Run ./configure again:
	Attempting to skip non-existent module qtwebkit.

Fixed by emoving:
	-skip qtwebkit

Is the ./configure command wrong in the documentation?

Run final ./configure command:

$ cd ~/Qt5.7.1/5.7/Src/
$ ./configure \
-prefix $PWD/qtbase \
-release \
-static \
-accessibility \
-qt-zlib \
-qt-libpng \
-qt-libjpeg \
-qt-xcb \
-qt-pcre \
-qt-freetype \
-no-glib \
-no-cups \
-no-sql-sqlite \
-no-qml-debug \
-no-opengl \
-no-egl \
-no-xinput2 \
-no-sm \
-no-icu \
-nomake examples \
-nomake tests \
-skip qtactiveqt \
-skip qtlocation \
-skip qtmultimedia \
-skip qtserialport \
-skip qtquickcontrols \
-skip qtscript \
-skip qtsensors \
-skip qtwebsockets \
-skip qtxmlpatterns \
-skip qt3d

Output:

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
You should not run 'make install'.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.

Seems to be OK.

Run make:

$ make

Can someone help me further to fix this No module claims plugin type 'scenegraph' error? It is easy to reproduce on a clean Ubuntu machine.

Thanks!

Hi,

Ensure that the qtdeclarative module is built before that one. AFAIK, it's the one claiming the scenegraph plugin type.
