This package installs Qt5.15.2 LTS "long term support" with desktop OpenGL , compiled on a raspberry pi 4 running Raspberry Pi OS 2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf (32 bit). The package is suitable for compiling desktop-style, windowed Qt apps under X11. The OpenGL support is in software, using Mesa.
To install, download the qt5-opengl-dev_5.15.2_armhf.deb and type:
sudo apt update
sudo apt --fix-broken install ./qt5-opengl-dev_5.15.2_armhf.deb
This installs Qt5 in /usr/lib/qt5.15.2/.
This also creates the qtchooser configuration file /usr/share/qtchooser/qt5.15.2-opengl.conf. If qtchooser has been installed on the system, you can select Qt5.15.2 LTS with
export QT_SELECT=qt5.15.2-opengl
To remove:
dpkg -r qt5.15.2-opengl-dev
Install Qt5.15.2 first. Then, to install qt-creator in /usr/local/bin, type:
wget https://github.com/koendv/qt5-opengl-raspberrypi/releases/download/v5.15.2-1/qt5-opengl-qtcreator_4.14.1_armhf.deb
sudo apt --fix-broken install ./qt5-opengl-qtcreator_4.14.1_armhf.deb
To remove:
dpkg -r qt5-opengl-qtcreator
This completes the installation instructions.
