The latest version of Qt 5.4.1 opensource is not supporting virtual frame buffer ie qvfb.
I am getting the following error when I tried to configure using qvfb.

./configure -platform -qvfb -prefix /home/user/buildroot/qt-5.4.1/qt-embedded-qvfb/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests

The specified system/compiler is not supported:

/home/user/buildroot/qt-5.4.1/qt-embedded-qvfb/qtbase/mkspecs/-qvfb

Please see the README file for a complete list.

Could any one who tried with Qt 5.4.1 could you please provide the steps to configure for qvfb.
I was able to do with qt 4.6.1 as per the documentation given here

qvfb is not compatible with Qt5, as far as I know. There is no "Qt Embedded" Qt5 version.

Any alternate way to use the virtual framebuffer in Qt 5.4.1 ?

[wysota]

Why do you need a virtual framebuffer?

[dinodavid4]

Virtual Frame buffer is used to emulate the behaviour of display. This is helpful for all the developers and hence minimizes the need of displays to all of them.

With Qt5 you can just run the application on a desktop or using Wayland since all graphical operations are delegated to a plugin.
