Qt 6 on Linux linker error "adding symbols: DSO missing from command line"

JohnGa

Hello,
I installed Qt 6 on Linux. In all my projects I get this error during linking. Shown below is an example of a simple new Qt application with a form. This project is using cmake

Searching the web, I saw a suggestion to add "-lstdc++" to the command line. Since Qt has always worked without me having to do this, I wanted to ask the question here.

Can I get a hint on how to resolve this please? I have no idea what this error means.

Thanks

Create a new project with form, build/run - you should see a blank form with no modifications to the code or project.pro. I don't understand the line beginning with 'clang-10'. Check Tools|Options|Kits - make sure the Compiler entries for C and C++ are set to GCC(C...) GCC(C++...). You might have the C++ compiler set to 'clang' instead of GCC.

@Psnarf, Thanks for the tip.
On a hunch, instead of using the auto-detected Qt6, I manually created a new kit. This resolved the issue.

I looked at both the auto-detected and the manually created kit, but could NOT spot any differences.
