When compiled as a static plugin, as required by compiling kirigami as a qt plugin (until I submit patch to disable this dependency). It install a few plugins like: lib64/plugins/kf5/org.kde.kwindowsystem.platforms/KF5WindowSystemX11Plugin.so as shared objects. Those objects cannot be used in static mode and thus kirigami doesn't work past commit: commit ad404dd929626f3556b4bf776d2df71f0d11d9fe Author: Marco Martin <notmart@gmail.com> Date: Tue Apr 17 13:52:47 2018 +0200 watch the tabletMode from KWin Summary: Add api in the C++ library that watches the tablet mode property exposed from KWin. use dbus, but only on linux,bsd etc, not on Android, Windows etc. connect it to Settings.isMobile which was already used for it (even tough it introduces a naming inconsistence, but needed for retrocompatibility) Test Plan: tested to switch on the fly on Wayland with the kwin tablet mode sensor working Reviewers: #plasma, #kirigami, davidedmundson Reviewed By: #plasma, davidedmundson Subscribers: ngraham, plasma-devel Tags: #plasma, #kirigami Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D10112 commit f5cd75acadf4254144c975437d3022f460669a64 mitigate the issue but is not directly usable on embedded Linux or static AppImages. When built with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF, kwindowsystem need to select X11 or WayLand at compile time and not use plugins.
As a side note, a more flexible alternative is to ship the plugins as QtPlugins as qmake do it for xcb (from the moc): Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QXcbIntegrationPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtQuick2Plugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtQuickControls1Plugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtQuickControls2Plugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtQuick2WindowPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QEvdevKeyboardPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QEvdevMousePlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtQuickLayoutsPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtQuickTemplates2Plugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QJpegPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QSvgPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QSvgIconPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QXcbGlxIntegrationPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtGraphicalEffectsPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtGraphicalEffectsPrivatePlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QtQmlModelsPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(KirigamiPlugin) Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QQc2DesktopStylePlugin)
