@iwrwrc Try to create a symbolic link /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5 pointing to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5
For some reason libQt5Core.so.5 is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and other Qt stuff in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

[iwrwrc]

@iwrwrc said in qtcreator under WSL ubuntu throws an error:

it starts pointing to itself

[SGaist]

Hi,

How did you create the symbolic link exactly ?

[iwrwrc]

i did

ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5

had an output saying file does not exist. so i forced it using

ls -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5

after this. every time i have a warning of too many levels of symbolic links.

My problem is now resolved using just this command

sudo strip --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5

[jsulm]

@iwrwrc It's (ln -s target link_name):

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5

See "man ln".

@iwrwrc
Please take the time to read the manual page on a command if you don't know how to use it or it gives an error you don't understand, rather than just continuing blindly....

My problem is now resolved using just this command

sudo strip --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5

Wot?? We don't execute some command to alter a supplied file in a system area because we have some issue...! Restore this file immediately!

[iwrwrc]

Yes, thanks.I see that i confused between target and link name

[iwrwrc]

Ok, i'll try restore the file. and see if i can resolve the issue

[iwrwrc]

@JonB I have resotred it now.

and

ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5
