[Interest] Building Qt 5.8 with 2D Renderer

[Laszlo Agocs]

Hi,

Starting with 5.8 there is no need to build any additional modules, the software backend is built in to Qt Quick (qtdeclarative repo). See http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-visualcanvas-adaptations.html for how to switch between backends, although in the i.MX7 case it is likely that the software backend will be the default anyway (due to no GL headers/libs in the sysroot).

The standalone declarative-render2d repo and its QtQuick2DRenderer docs should be ignored as these are applicable to <= 5.7 only.
Best regards,
Laszlo

Hi -

I am cross compiling Qt for an imx7 processor with no graphics acceleration and would like to build with 2D Renderer. I am confused whether Qt 5.8 has 2D Renderer included in qt declarative module or if I still need to create Open GL dummy libraries and build 2D Renderer as specified here:

http://doc.qt.io/QtQuick2DRenderer/qtquick2drenderer-installation-guide.html#building-renderer

Thanks for any advice.
