Will do

Oops, you are right.
The first line is indeed redundant.

Second line is for the bcm_host stuff, otherwise you get:

Every application that wants to use the rPi GPU libraries needs it to 
call bcm_host_initialize() before anything else.
So I think it could indeed be added to the EGL pkgconfig file.

Regarding fonts:

Came accross another problem with that.
With font-config disabled it only searches /usr/lib/fonts itself for 
fonts, not subdirectories.
So if we were to change the default font path to /usr/share/fonts, it 
still would not pick up fonts in subdirectories like 
/usr/share/fonts/liberation
So might not be much use of that.

Also found out that if I do enable font-config it fails to compile:

==
.obj/release-shared/qeglfsintegration.o: In function 
`QEglFSIntegration::QEglFSIntegration()':
qeglfsintegration.cpp:(.text+0x8e4): undefined reference to `vtable for 
QFontconfigDatabase'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
==

Haven't looked further into that.


Did find out that with font-config disabled, Qt does install the bundled 
standard fonts into staging.
So think we should just copy those to target.


Another issue I'm still having -but which is likely an upstream problem- 
is that with the EGLFS plugin when you type on the keyboard all input 
will be send to both to the Qt application and the terminal.
Once the Qt application terminates, everything you typed earlier is 
visible on the console.

 From a quick look it seems the Qt code does request exclusive usage of 
the evdev device for tablets and touch input devices, but not for keyboards.

Anyone know if they have a reason for that?
