kwin 5 with EGL

Hello everyone!

I'm tring to run kwin 5.2 with EGL instead of GLX. I recompiled qt with -egl and -eglfs as per FS#37386 and I have nvidia-340xx 340.65-8. When I try to run it, I get:

KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE=egl kwin_x11 --replace
[...]
kwin_core: Forcing EGL native interface through environment variable
kwin_core: Initializing OpenGL compositing
kwin_core: bind OpenGL API failed
kwin_core: Creating the OpenGL rendering failed:  "Could not initialize rendering context"
kwin_core: Failed to initialize compositing, compositing disabled
[...]

What am I missing/doing wrong? Also, what happened to the kwin_gles binary that was present in kwin 4.x? How do I get the same functionality with kwin 5?
