Issues with Qt5/mesa and eglfs

Issues with Qt5/mesa and eglfs

[Nicolas Dechesne]

hi there,

i am trying to build Qt5/meta-qt5 with dylan branch in a non X11 distro,
and i got failures during the Qt5 configure step (when auto-detecting EGL
feature). Looking into the issue, the good news is that it seems to be
fixed in oe-core/master with:

d7033f4 mesa: upgrade to 9.1.3

thanks to this :

    Add EGL-Mutate-NativeDisplayType-depending-on-config.patch to build
correctly in
    a non-X11 environment.

    Drop dont-fail-if-libX11-isnt-installed.patch and
    fix-egl-compilation-without-x11-headers.patch as they were backports.


Would you guys consider 'backporting' this patch onto dylan a viable thing?
I will make the backport, but it would be nice if you can confirm that it
can be merged in dylan.

thanks

nico

One of those patches is actually being debated upstream, but more
importantly this thread should be on openembedded-core@ (cc'ing Paul
Eggleton, who is the Dylan maintainer).

resending on proper mailling list, +cc Paul as it's dylan related.

I wasn't watching closely but my impression is there were a large number of 
changes associated with the mesa upgrade. Is the upgrade itself necessary for 
the fix?

no, i don't think so. I think we might be able to just update the patches
that deal with the X11/no X11 support. but i haven't tested that yet. i
just did a quick test by cherry picking the complete commit (e.g. mesa
upgrade) to verify that it's actually fixing my problem. now that i know it
does, i will try to just upgrade the patches without the mesa upgrade and
report how it goes.

ok, i was able to backport the mesa patch from 9.1.3 to 9.0.2
(EGL-Mutate-NativeDisplayType-depending-on-config.patch) , the backport was
more or less trivial. and then i did this in dylan branch:

--- a/meta/recipes-graphics/mesa/mesa-9.0.2.inc
+++ b/meta/recipes-graphics/mesa/mesa-9.0.2.inc
@@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ SRC_URI = "
ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/${PV}/MesaLib-${PV}.tar.bz2 \
            file://0002-cross-compile.patch \
            file://cross-glsl.patch \
            file://dont-fail-if-libX11-isnt-installed.patch \
-           file://fix-egl-compilation-without-x11-headers.patch \
+           file://EGL-Mutate-NativeDisplayType-depending-on-config.patch \
            "

and it does fix the build issue i had (mesa/qt5/non X11 distro).

should that be merged into dylan (since it's merged in master already) or
do we need to wait for the 'final' patch in upstream to be ready?

thanks

Paul, Martin, what do you think about this? i have the (trivial) dylan
backport ready. Do you think it's the right time to get it merged?

I don't have strong opinion about this one, I'm already using that
CFLAGS change in all recipes where it was needed (only few of them) so I
don't mind waiting for upstream for final solution. On other hand this
backport doesn't cause more work for me, so I don't mind if it gets
merged.

I'd say please send the patch to the mailing list (marked with [dylan]) and 
then we can review it. By the sounds of things it should be OK.

Cheers,
Paul

You should be able to build qtbase with mesa from dylan if you add
CFLAGS_append = " -DMESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS"

yes, that works too, but that doesn't really fix the original problem in
the dylan branch, which from that perspective is broken, right? how do you
recommend that to be fixed?

btw, i also tried to cherry-pick the new patch from master that i mentioned
earlier, and that worked too.
