VirtualBox 5.1.x [.22] on Openindiana w/QT5
Posted: 18. May 2017, 08:12
Hi,
Lately OpenIndiana/hipster has got a version of QT5 in their repository. Since a while ago I have used VirtualBox 5.1.x, which works and installs fine if you just edit the SUNWvbox/install/checkinstall to remove dependencies for IPS-packages and update the pkgmap-file.
When Openindiana got QT5 (5.8.0) , I was sure that I could start using the QT-gui again as well, but I am not able to get this started.
$pfexec pkg install pkg:/library/qt5@5.8.0-2017.0.0.0
$VirtualBox
Qt FATAL: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".
Available platform plugins are: xcb.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Abort (core dumped)
$
$ls -l /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/plugins/platforms/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 17312 Apr 28 17:36 libqxcb.so
One thing though - I've QT4.8.7 installed as well - will that mix things up?
Does anyone have a clue on what is wrong?
