Try Googling, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39175604/qt-opengl-link-error

LIBS += -lOpenGL32

Not my area, but is that what you need? You don't give us any clue as to which symbols are undefined....

@JonB i added that but i still get errors

@Cave1212
That looks like every single QOpenGLWidget class/method reference? Somebody may have a better suggestion than I, but I would look at the actual linker command line being issued from Creator/qmake to see what it does/does not have for OpenGL libraries.

[Chris Kawa]

Add QT += openglwidgets.
OpenGL support and widgets are in separate modules.

Btw. if you ever get linker errors about Qt classes you can go to their doc page and at the top it's listed which module they are in.
