PATCH v4 1/1 qt5: remove Qt Quick dependency on opengl

Qt Quick should no longer depend on opengl, and instead fallback to the limited functionality software renderer as a replacement [1] when not available. This also pulls in an upstream qt5declarative 5.10 patch [2], replacing an existing one, to qt5 5.9.2 to fix no-opengl builds.

[1] http://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/08/15/the-qt-quick-graphics-stack-in-qt-5-8/
[2] http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdeclarative.git/commit/?id=fa52bb665d6b

---

v4:
- Don't backport upstream patch to 5.6.3, and instead note in existing patch why.

v3:
- Prefer upstream patch for qt5declarative for 5.9.2 and 5.6.3

v2:
- remove opengl dependency on qt5virtualkeyboard
- move qt5declarative patch from 5.9.1 to 5.9.2

Who did the backport of this patch in Buildroot? It should carry the Signed-off-by from the person who did this backport. I don't know if it's you or S?bastien Szymanski.

Also, another question: I assume that if OpenGL is available, Qt Quick will use it. How does it detect that OpenGL is available?

Thanks!

I am the one guilty. Sigh.

qt5declarative depends on qt5base. If mesa3d is configured, qt5base depends on mesa3d and is told to build with opengl. Then, we leave buildroot. qt5base build will try to find various incarnations of opengl through its own build tests. qt5base and qt5declarative use the result of those config tests through qtConfig() to see if opengl is available. If you build qt5base you can see config.log and the actual tests under config.tests/ in the build_dir.

Now, you can still build QT with opengl support, and still opt to not use it and instead use the software renderer at runtime with the environment variable QMLSCENE_DEVICE=softwarecontext. This patch is all about not making opengl a requirement, where it is not.

Thanks, seen your v5, looks good.

Thanks for the extended explanation!
