Qt 5.9 error eglfs with raspberry pi 3

[requinham]

I have compiled the latest version of qt from git 5.9.2 with latest raspibian (2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch.img) as sysroot.

I have previously install some library to compile with -opengl es2. Compilation succeeded but when I run the application I have this error :

/This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "eglfs" in "".
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Abandon

I have all necessary libs without any unfound dependencies :

I tested setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH with the location of libqeglfs.so but the same error persist :

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "eglfs"
in "/usr/local/qt5pi/plugins/platforms".
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into '/mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/usr/local/qt5pi'.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.

I need your help about this serious problem ! thanks.

@requinham Try to start your app with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS variable set to get a more verbose output.

[requinham]

@jsulm no change I have the same input. I also set QT_LOGGING_RULES="qt.qpa.*=true" but same output !

[jsulm]

@requinham Is it a debug build?

QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 && ./my_app

[requinham]

@jsulm It is a release build like specified in configure command (-release)

[jsulm]

@requinham I mean: did you build your app in debug mode?

[requinham]

@jsulm No I compile it on release mode with the same parameter as I compile qt additional libraries (qtdeclarative, qtquickcontrols, etc.)

[jsulm]

@requinham Well, if you want to debug a problem you should build in debug mode.

How did you managed to compile with Raspbian Stretch? I have Raspbian Stretch Lite and I don't manage to compile. It seems it doesn't find EGLFS support. I was trying to build native on the board (RPI3) with this config:

/../qt5/configure -release -opengl es2 -eglfs -no-gtk -tslib -force-pkg-config -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -device linux-rasp-pi3-g++ -optimized-qmake -reduce-exports -no-use-gold-linker -nomake examples -no-compile-examples -skip qtwebengine -qt-pcre -ssl -evdev -system-freetype -fontconfig -glib -prefix /opt/qt5pi -v

Taking a closer look at /opt/vc/lib folder on the board where the legacy VideoCore drivers are located I noticed that their names are changed. Instead of standard libEGL, libGLESv2 names I saw libbrcmEGL, libbrcmGLESv2 etc.

[requinham]

@moldovan.catalin For compiling I use raspbian stretch full version and I boot with it to install some libraries (libgles2, libgl-mesa-dri, libglew-dev, libpng, libjpeg, etc.) after this I remount my sdcard filesystem on my Ubuntu machine and I run the configure like mentioned in the first post.
I also compiled Qt 5.9.2 natively on Raspberry Pi 3 successfully and I succeeded running programs. I confirm that instead of eglfs there is brcm-eglfs and instead of libEGL and libGLESv2 there is libbrcm{EGL,GLESv2}.
I think it is a patched version for RPI.

[requinham]

@jsulm Thank you for your help but no more result ! I guess the problem is when compiling in host machine because my program can't see anything in the RPI...
I succeded to compile and run latest Qt natively in RPI3. Obviously, this take more time but make something works. It must important for the rest to found the problem with this may be in fixQualifiedLibraryPaths script !

[jsulm]

@moldovan.catalin You can create symbolic link in /opt/vc/lib pointing to these libraries but having old names.
