So, can a patch like the one for kodi be applied to qt5? I am mentioning again
that arch does not have a seperate -gles package for qt5, so a single lib that
works everywhere should be possible.
It's unlikely to convince the Qt5 maintainers to change something just
to support last century's technology (and therefore probably be unable
to draw full power out of todays technology).
But if all that kodi did is linking against libGL instead of (the
subset) libGLX, maybe we can just replace libGLX.so.1 with a link to
libGL.so.1 s.t. we always end in the same implementation regardless of
the entry point being used ...
Could you try
ln -sf libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX.so.0
(assuming amd64) and see if that fixes Qt5 operation? Or breaks other stuff?
Note: this change is only active until you install/upgrade some package,
i.e. something runs ldconfig. (You can also run ldconfig manually to
restore the original link.)
