    I'm trying to build a preexisting project but get the following:
    error: cannot find -lGL

    opengl was added into the .pro file.

    Looking at other posts I tried this:
    sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

    I keep getting this though:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    libgl1-mesa-dev : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx (= 9.0.1-0ubuntu1~precise)
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    Attempting to install glx gives:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    libgl1-mesa-glx : Depends: libglapi-mesa (= 9.0.1-0ubuntu1~precise)

    It tells me libglapi-mesa is already installed and up to date, so I'm at a loss for what to try next.

      Hi,

      Did you try to find which package is broken ?

        No, I really don't know what to do now. This is on Ubuntu and I'm not very familiar with it.

            I tried that but it just tell me it can't locate the package:

            $ sudo apt-get install libqt5opengl5-dev
            E: Unable to locate package libqt5opengl5-dev

            Was there a different way I was supposed to do it?
            Installing aptitude and using that didn't find it either.

              Try uninstalling libglapi-mesa (and any other broken packages), and then reinstalling them.
