fix for build problem when --search-path-cpp-headers=include_paths is used (as we do in EESSI):

libglvnd is a part of OpenGL, see

easybuild-easyconfigs/easybuild/easyconfigs/o/OpenGL/OpenGL-2025.09-GCCcore-14.3.0.eb

Line 59 in c7f395a

('libglvnd', '1.7.0', {

We shouldn't introduce this as a separate module.

Thyre · 2026-02-26T20:46:44Z

The error is caused by PtQy6 including a header of Qt6, which needs OpenGL / libglvnd (see Qt6/6.9.3-GCCcore-14.2.0/include/QtGui/qopengl.h).
So why are we adding this to PyQt6 and not to Qt6, where it should be?

For 2025b, this shouldn't be an issue, as Qt6 already has a dependency on OpenGL. In 2025a, libglvnd is only a build dependency, but should be a dependency based on the error mentioned in the PR description.

The problem is easybuilders/easybuild-framework#5124 . A decisions was taken to only include the headers of direct dependencies for the build, but this has consequences if a transitive header file is required (like in this case and also in #25365). It was discussed during the last EB telco a bit but no decision yet on what to do.

Understood... in this case, I'd propose to add OpenGL to PyQt6 as a dependency, keep the approach for 2025a in this PR and also fix the libglvnd build dependency vs. dependency in Qt6 in 2025a.

This is really a framework problem and has been fixed in easybuilders/easybuild-framework#5143

(Specifically for EESSI, we have danced around the problem by making a configuration change to --search-path-cpp-headers=flags)
