Cross-compiling Qt Apps for Raspberry Pi with X11 support

After a couple of days of trials and errors, I finally got set up a cross-development environment for Raspberry Pi. I read several tutorials and documentation pages about how to do that and the one that worked was this: A modern guide for cross-compiling Qt for HW accelerated OpenGL with eglfs on Raspbian and setting up Qt Creator.
But, as stated in the initial notes of that guide, it is intended for running Qt apps fullscreen without a windowing system. So, I'd like to know what steps I need to add to that tutorial, or what dependencies I need to install, to be able to run my cross-compiled applications on raspberry pi with X11.

Nothing, it will work on X11 (but may lack GPU acceleration) because xcb plugin is compiled by default, in addition to eglfs.
