Qt 5.9.1 building on windows and OpenGL support

pip010

I use cmake to build qt as ExternProject :

if(WIN32)
  set(use_jom 1)
  #set(JOM_EXECUTABLE "${QT_EXTERN_BINARY_DIR}/jom.exe")
  set(JOM_EXECUTABLE "jom")
  set(make_cmd "${JOM_EXECUTABLE}")
else()
  set(QT_BASE_DIR_DEFAULT "$ENV{HOME}/Qt")
  set(make_cmd "make;-j9")
endif()


# Make command : use something that handles parallel builds for best
# Qt build time
#
set(QT_EXTERN_DIR qt-5.9.1)
set(QT_PREFIX qt)
set(QT_EXTERN_BINARY_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${QT_PREFIX}/src/${QT_EXTERN_DIR}" )
set(QT_EXTERN_BUILD_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${QT_PREFIX}/src/${QT_EXTERN_DIR}-build" )

)

It all builds fine with the exception that it always installs in /usr/local ( the default Linux path WTF!?)
I read the install step is missing in Windows? Then how to create the installers from qt.io?

Anyway, my main problem is when I try to buil VTK with Qt support, then it miserably fails while it work fine against installed Qt5.7 :(

C:\usr\local\Qt-5.9.1\include\QtGui/qopengles2ext.h(22): error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed.

more than 300 errors more...

Indeed that header include no other, yet it defines this:

typedef khronos_int64_t GLint64;

of course khronos_int64_t is nowhere defined :(

I've installed DirectX and tried with any possible -opengl flag during configuration. I have followed all the instruction step.

Again, qt builds bbut it seems my Opengl binding is broken, I am sure it is not VTK issue :(

pip010

I've just tried with latest VTK 8.0.1 and again isssues with OpenGL
QVTKOpenGLWidget.cxx:310

  f->glGetRenderbufferParameteriv(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES, &samples);

GL_RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES is undefined :(

What am I missing?

pip010

has anyone managed to build Qt with OpenGL support in windows if yes please explain ...
how do the qt guys produce the official build, please post step by step instructions ...

Why do you ask this here? This forum is for Qt users not for "qt guys".
