865019 - Get EGL working on Raspberry Pi

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Nick Cameron [:nrc]]

We get errors when loading the EGL library on Raspberry Pi (this works on Ubuntu, at least with a new build of Mesa).

We need to dynamically load the lib properly, and then we need to do some special init for Broadcom's slightly special EGL stuff (dispmanx). See http://hg.mozilla.org/users/romaxa_gmail.com/embedipc_queue/file/49899ecb12c8/linuxgl/rasppi_b2g_fix.diff for the latter. This patch statically links the EGL lib, we should probably not do that. Should end with something like this maybe: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/gl/GLContextProviderEGL.cpp#549

tested it recently, and options --without-x - works just good... also it works pretty much ok with NON-X11 wayland based Qt5.
