    Note: Using static linking will disable the use of dynamically
    loaded plugins. Make sure to import all needed static plugins,
    or compile needed modules into the library.

    Note: Dropped compiler flags '-pthread' when detecting library 'glib'.

    Note: No wayland-egl support detected. Cross-toolkit compatibility disabled.

    ERROR: The OpenGL functionality tests failed!
    You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL[_ES2],
    QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL[_ES2] and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL[_ES2] in the mkspec for your platform.

    Check config.log for details.

          Hi and welcome to devnet,

          Looks like you are missing the OpenGL development libraries.

          Also "Not worked" doesn't help much. You should show the exact error message given in config.log for example.
