Take a look at this thread:

Short story is, Qt's support for resolving GL entry points was broken when 
using Core Profile (due to using glGetString() rather than glGetIntv() and 
glGetStringi()). This is now fixed in git master so you can either use git-
master or just use the Compatibility profile for now.
