    @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.
