No wayland-egl support detected. Cross-toolkit compatibility disabled

I tried with the example modules given from Qt. and I downloaded the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.3 tar file and extract it. then I run the following command.

./configure -v -prefix $PWD/qtbase -commercial -nomake tests -opengl es2 -egl

but I got these errors.

Note: Also available for Linux: linux-clang linux-icc

Note: Dropped compiler flags '-pthread' when detecting library 'glib'.

Note: Disabling X11 Accessibility Bridge: D-Bus or AT-SPI is missing.

Note: No wayland-egl support detected. Cross-toolkit compatibility disabled.

ERROR: Feature 'egl' was enabled, but the pre-condition '(features.opengl || features.openvg) && (features.angle || libs.egl)' failed.

EGL related libraries installed on the system.

Solution

You're probably missing some packages. If you want wayland, you're most likely going to need dev packages for libwayland and libwayland-egl, but I'm not sure what they're called on Ubuntu.
