RaspberryPi2EGLFS Step 14 & 15

Casp

Hi, I've been following the RaspberryPi2EGLFS guide and I've hit a snag on Step 14.

https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS

When I run the move commands below from the top directory of my RaspberryPi:

sudo mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1.0.0_backup

I get the following response:

sudo mv '/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1.0.0' to '/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1.0.0_backup' : No such file or directory

When I do a list of that /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ directory, the libEGL.so.1.0.0 & libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 files are there but are grey in the list. It would be good if the article's author said what a likely response is if those files aren't there as " The device may have the" suggests.

I've tried skipping to the next step #15 which is to run the compiled app, and I get:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt plaform plugin "xcb" in "".
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem
Aborted

Q1) I don't know why the mv command isn't working, any ideas?
Q2) Will that fix the reason that my example app isn't starting or is that likely to be something else?

Q1) So I ended up rebooting my RaspberryPi into desktop mode. Then I used the very slow browser to copy and paste the commands into terminal across from the RaspberryPi2EGLFS guide. But likely the fix may have been that I was in the home/pi directory "~" this time not the root "/" that I was before. Step 14 down.

Q2) But then step 15 still has the same error:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt plaform plugin "xcb" in "".
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Now I'm troubleshooting that missing library. If anyone else has come across this problem installing on a Pi or if there was something in the RaspberryPi2EGLFS that is meant to address this, I'd be happy to hear!

I read on another forum about how to Debug Plugins by putting a folder in my binary directory called "platforms" and then running the following:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ./qopenglwidget

This is the part of the debugging that is relevant to the problem:

Got keys from plugin meta data ("xcb")
QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/home/pi/platforms" ...
Cannot load library /usr/local/qt5pi/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so: (/usr/local/qt5pi/plugins/platforms/../../lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5: symbol _ZTI18QPlatformClipboard, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API not defined in file libQt5Gui.so.5 with link time reference)

I've tried a few of the tricks that were suggested on StackOverflow to the cannot load xcb topic but I would most appreciate to know why following the Qt getting started process for the RaspberryPi doesn't work.

Hi, so first time around I tried this on a RaspberryPi 1 B, this time I tried it on a RaspberryPi 3B+ with a different Linux compiling machine and I have the same problem with the RaspberryPi2EGLFS at Step 15. I'm on the latest version of Raspian (Stretch) and Qt 5.10. When I try to run the example application it says:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

If anyone has successfully used this tutorial lately, I'd love to know how you got things running.

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. I followed the same guide and everything was fine until I tried to run the example.
I'm trying with a Pi1 with Raspian Stretch Lite 2018-04-18, Qt 5.10.1 and my pc has Ubuntu 16.04.
Unfortunately this is my first experience with Raspberry and I'm new to the cross-compilation world.

I hope someone will find a solution.

Regards,
Marco
