This should be defined in Qt5Widgets (at least if you really configured Qt
with -opengl).

You should try to open the app in Dependency Walker
(depends.exe, http://www.dependencywalker.com). It will first and foremost
show you which libraries are picked up. But it also has a 'Profiler' mode
where you can launch the application, and it will show you in much detail
how also dynamc plugins etc are loaded.

This hints that the Qt installation is broken, or that you are using the wrong 
Qt (check the 'kit' selected).

Just that something in your installation/setup is botched ;)
