      @Wotan See here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux.html
      You need to install

      sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev

                My graphic card is a "GeForce GTX 1060 6GB"
                The driver I installed is "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.42.run"
                I hope it helped ...

                  Did you check the related libraries ? Where are they installed ?

                    @Wotan said in "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL" impossible to compile a Qt project:

                    GL

                    Run the following command in shell and see if the libraries installed or not in your computer

                    ldconfig -v | grep -i GL

                    The library you are looking will be libGL.so . If it is not there install it as follows,

                    sudo apt-get install libgl1 -y

                    That will probably fix this issue.
