I recently upgraded Mint to version 20 and recompiled an older application running on Mint 19.3. Now it gives me a new error:

/usr/bin/ld: /opt/Qt/5.15.1/gcc_64/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so: .dynsym local symbol at index 3 (>= sh_info of 3)
I do have the WebKit and WebEngine modules installed from the repo. This has not happened before so...what is different on Mint 20 to cause this error.

BTW The app runs fine if I just ignore the errors.

I have the same issue on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine when compiling ScreenPlay

@ad5xj using the gold linker fixed it for me:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80964

set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -fuse-ld=gold")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -fuse-ld=gold")

Since posting this last year there have been no reliable solutions. Even the bug report https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-80964 seems to blame Qt for the WebEngine link errors.

So what is being done to resolve this? The gold linker does nothing on my Linux Mint 20.1 machine running v5.15.2. Is there a way to resolve the problem or is it just a fluke we should ignore.

I do that but other users may not know it is harmless.

This is a question for Qt developers. You can ask them on their mailing list. Here we are in an user forum.

I also got this error when using debian11 with Qt5.15.2
