the opengl functionality tests failed

[liubbc]

Hi Qters,

When i configure qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.0. using ubuntu virtual machine ,

the error occur :

the opengl functionality tests failed
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editting QMAKE_INCLUDE_OPENGL[_ES2],
QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL[_ES2] and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL[_ES2] in the mkspec for your platform

I have install opengl :

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install libglut-dev

Now i do not know how to

modify the include and library search paths by editting QMAKE_INCLUDE_OPENGL[_ES2],
QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL[_ES2] and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL[_ES2

Can you provide any clues ?

Thanks in advance!

@liubbc Add -v to your configure call, then you will see what is really missing

[vincent365]

how to add -v?

You are compiling Qt from source, right? The first step is to call configure. So, you need to add '-v' flag there:

configure -v [other config options you use for building Qt, like -confirm-license -nomake examples etc.]

I suspect you miss some OpenGL stuff. Try calling:

sudo apt-get build-dep qt5-default

when I crossing-build the source it show these errors. Do you kown it?

This output does not show the error message, please look for it.

Also, please don't steal somebody else's thread, your issue is probably unrelated to what liubbc wrote about.

[billconan]

saw similar issue, installed the following fixed it

libgl1-mesa-dev \
libglu1-mesa-dev

[AnubhavM]

I know I am late , but others may be still looking, so anyway: please try adding -opengl desktop as a parameter. Worked for me.

[Otso]

I got this error when I didn't have the ninja build system installed, and configure created the Makefile based build system. After installing ninja (the ninja-build package on Debian), it worked.

I am also getting same error while compiling qt-everywhere-src-5.12.12 on CetnOS 7
Tried to get more logs with ./configure -v option

ERROR: The OpenGL functionality tests failed!

I already installed : yum install mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel
Still same error

[jsulm]

@KiranS Check the configure.log file - there must be more information than what you posted (compiler/linker call and the actual error message).

[KiranS]

@jsulm checked config log which has multiple dependency errors:

to resolve it I installed below packages but no luck

libvkd3d-devel
kf5-kwindowsystem-devel
alsa-lib-devel
pcre2-devel
snappy-devel

but no luck

Still same errors?
I suggest to run configure from clean state (new build folder).

[KiranS]

@jsulm Thank you for your help, errors disappeared after running configure in fresh directory. :)

[agarny]

I was also having that problem, but configure is indeed fine with OpenGL when run from a fresh directory (and after installing the relevant OpenGL package(s), I can't recall which ones). Man, so much time wasted on such a simple fix.

[imyhxy]

Add -no-opengl to the configure command line option saves my life.
